Today, ZEISS Spectroscopy is empowering food producers of all kinds to ease and even replace traditional QC and QA lab dependencies with inline visible and near-infrared spectrometer systems. These systems are intelligent and reliable, even in the most challenging environmental or factory floor conditions.  

 

ZEISS NIR systems are install-ready and cost-effective when deployed singly or in a factory-wide network of quality control sensors.  Fats, oils, proteins, starches, sugars, color, moisture and even seasonings can now be measured inline 24/7/365.

"By integrating a connected spectroscopy

solution directly into the production line,

clients can measure quality indicators such

as fats, starches, proteins and moisture

content in a matter of seconds."

Designed for maximum flexibility, the ZEISS line of NIR Spectrometers are as at home in the lab are they are on the line or in the field.

The state-of-the-art capabilities of a ZEISS system

offers a unique opportunity for system-wide optimization.  Measure inline and in real time the constituents that matter to your product and your bottom line.

Seeing Beyond: Since 1846

From the humble beginnings of a one room optics workshop, established over 170 years ago in a small german village, to the global - 30,000 employee company of today, ZEISS has always been about serving the customer with holistic solutions that finally solve the issue at hand. 

 

With the first Abbe refractometer built in 1874 and the Pulfrich refractor in 1895, ZEISS boasts over 100 years of modern optical materials analysis, innovation and development in chemical analytical research.

For over 150 years, ZEISS has pioneered research and development of optical mechanical systems that use light for measurement.

A Rich History of Innovation

Today, ZEISS Spectroscopy leads the world in the innovation of connected spectrometers and with partners like John Deere, ZEISS is making big impacts in farming both in fertilizer application savings and harvest value metrics.

Ag Optix offers a complete NIR integration solution with process application development, project management, planning and NIR system installation all offered.  Staff training is also included with each installation.

 

Inline integration of NIR is not complicated, and by following a simple series of steps, most food producers can easily gather the samples and lab references needed to quickly bring ZEISS NIR in to use inline.

Once a system is installed, food producers can customize their lines for greater process control and product optimization.  Together with ZEISS, Ag Optix will continue to assist in the development of an efficient and data-driven process.

Current customers include potato product processors, grain handlers, snack makers, ethanol plants, vegetable processors, fruit, berry and nut growers, meat packers, food oil refiners, confectioners and dairy goods producers.

ZEISS InProcess - Freeware worth having. 

The ZEISS InProcess operating software features touchscreen optimized user interfaces and is easy to use at multiple levels. 

 

It comes free with every system and is both OPC and field bus ready for process automation configurations.
