EDL Spectral Inspect

With EDL Spectral Inspect it enables the creation of new industrial hyperspectral imaging applications faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before without coding or in-depth knowledge of spectral imaging.

Spectral Inspect

EDL Spectral Inspect is an off-line software tool that allows users to browse and explore hyperspectral data, create and validate classification models.

EDL Spectral Inspect

With EDL Spectral Inspect, machine builders and vision systems integrators can classify different materials based on their spectral signature off-line and apply the classification models into an in-line system in real-time.

Revealing the invisible

Hyperspectral imaging is an entirely non-destructive, highly accurate, and fast way to identify different materials or define their properties.

REVEALING THE INVISIBLE

Hyperspectral imaging is an entirely non-destructive, highly accurate, and fast way to identify different materials or define their properties.

Since every material and compound reacts with light differently, the reflectance measurements result in unique spectral signatures that identify different materials, similar to fingerprints.

HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING APPLICATIONS

Explore the diverse applications of hyperspectral imaging, a powerful imaging technology that captures the full spectrum of light. This advanced technique offers valuable insights across various industries, including food processing, agriculture, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and mining. By utilizing hyperspectral imaging, professionals can enhance productivity, ensure safety, and support sustainable practices in their respective fields.

HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING IN FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY

Hyperspectral imaging can detect defects and abnormalities in food products that are not visible to the human eye. It is a well-established method in food industry.

Improve production efficiency with hyperspectral imaging

  • Analyze large volumes of products in real-time
  • Obtain the chemical information across the entire product stream
  • Detect the different quality parameters simultaneously with a single scan

Improve production efficiency

With hyperspectral imaging, it is possible to quickly analyze large volumes of food products in real time.

The hyperspectral camera obtains the chemical information across the entire product stream and simultaneously detects the different quality parameters with a single scan, increasing the production process’s efficiency.

Meat, fish, and poultry

  • Detect foreign objects like bone, cartilage, plastics, wood, rubber, metal, or parasites.
  • Measure the product’s chemical composition, such as fat, protein, water content, and tendernes

Dried food, nuts, and cereals

  • Detect discoloration or mold
  • Identify and remove foreign objects like shell pieces, wood, stones, and insects
  • Identify and sort different nut types such as almonds, cashew, walnuts, pistachio, peanuts

Fruits, berries, and vegetables

Hyperspectral imaging is used for monitoring the ripeness and freshness of fruits and vegetables independent of their color and size. It helps determine the optimal time for harvesting, reducing waste, and improving the products’ shelf life.

  • Detect blemishes and bruising under the skin
  • Measure ripeness and chemical quality
  • Identify foreign objects such as wood, paper, metal, or insects
  • Improve quality and ripeness of the fresh products
  • Optimize shelf life, reduce waste, and improve profits

Food packaging – heat seal inspection

Airtight packaging is essential for many products, as it prevents oxygen and moisture from entering the package and damaging the contents. Hyperspectral imaging can monitor the quality of heat seal packaging inspection to make sure it remains airtight:

  • Detect contamination between the seal and the transparent or color-printed package
  • Avoid contaminants, such as molds, fungus, or bacteria, entering the package

Seed and grain

  • Predict protein content
  • Detect the presence of contaminants, such as pathogens and foreign objects
  • Characterize the consistency and produce quality
