Quantitative Chemical Imaging: How to Bring your Lab Analysis to the Production Line

Traditional quality control methods in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and recycling often still rely on laboratory-based analysis of a limited number of random samples. This approach fails to provide a comprehensive insight about the entire production flow. Quantitative chemical imaging (QCI) offers an impactful solution by enabling real-time analysis of the chemical composition of a material flow directly within the production line.

This talk demonstrates the development of an application model using the QCI classification algorithm to quantitatively analyze multiple chemical components, measuring the concentration and distribution of chemical compounds in a product. This paves the way for more efficient and precise quality control in industrial production.
