Automated Particle Measurement Technology
We develop AI software and specialized hardware for the automated analysis of particle images from microscopes and inline sensors — delivering precise particle size and shape data in real time, without manual evaluation.
AI meets industrial image processing
Three core technologies for precise inline particle analysis directly in the production process.
Precise
We specialise in the image analysis of particles with complex shapes, heavy overlaps and interfering variables. Our extensive experience allows us to evaluate your image data quickly, reliably and precisely — delivering an analysis tailored exactly to your application.
Scalable
Thanks to our robust algorithm, we can analyse even large data volumes in a short time. It makes no difference whether a sample contains 10 or 10,000 images — as long as image quality does not change significantly within a sample. Automated evaluation of entire image series is now within reach.
Plannable
Data management, analysis and reporting from a single source. Your experts generate the image data; we take care of reliable evaluation. This makes analysis workloads plannable, relieves specialist staff sustainably and deploys laboratory resources efficiently.
Hardware & Software for your process
From compact inline sensors to the complete analytics platform – individually tailored to your processes, requirements and quality targets.
