Quality control through infrared radiation
The human eye is limited in the visible area (RGB). These limits do not apply to the NIR spectroscopy. While the eye can only detect the light waves in a range of approximately 400-700 nm, our software enables cameras to analyze wavelengths in the near-infrared range (approximately 900-1700 nm). In production, it is a big advantage to verify packaging for completeness. Just as helpful is the analysis of the individual products, which run in huge amounts in no time on the assembly line. At this point, the the mixing ratios of the medications is an interesting matter. Without additional aids, one can only make assumptions about the material composition. This is where our technology comes in: it enables differentiation and analysis using hyperspectral lightwave measurements. Our method does the preliminary work and paves the way for subsequent withdrawals.
Hyperspectral camera systems go far beyond the visibility of standardized color cameras (RGB). As a result, hyperspectral analysis is needed, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, to quickly and efficiently “scan” tablets, capsules, pills, fluid residues or blister packs. Hyperspectral Imaging revolutionizes image processing in a wide range of industries. Our software captures the surface structures in a simple, fast and precise manner. It analyzes and identifies the materially relevant characteristics and measures the substantial changes in the product.
This way medicines can be inspected and differences in consistency or composition can be detected. The LuxFlux software is supporting the work process by analyzing the goods in real-time, classifying them by properties and providing information (e.g. good or bad) via a protocol. Our technology is able to detect, identify and, if necessary, quantify a wide range of deviations as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thereby quality defects of many kinds can be unmasked. Indeed, the analytical method is perfect for sensitive products. The products to be analyzed can be checked without any physical contact. Due to the optical measuring method, there is no danger in the checking process. The quality of the objects to be examined is protected. The non-contact measuring process protects the goods from damage.
In this way, our method is risk-free (i.e. no contamination of products by touch), as well as time-saving and, in the long run, more cost-effective.
