NIR multispectral sensor for material detection and monitoring

The newly developed tri²dent^TM (say “tri-eident“) is the first compact material sensor on the market! The sensor fills an important gap: while with conventional sensors it is only possible to detect the presence or, at most, the color of an object, the tri²dent material sensors make this possible Identification and differentiation of organic materials or even the Ingredient monitoring and thus offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive spectrometers!

Completely new applications can be implemented with the tri²dent material sensors:

the distinction between different materials based on their different absorption properties such as: b.
- Differentiation of paper and plastic
- Packaging detection
- Plant recognition and much more
monitoring the material application during coating processes
the qualitative monitoring of ingredients in transparent or semi-transparent materials

tri²dent^TM is a compact sensor for in-line use that can also be combined with a wide variety of fiber optic optics. This means that the material sensors can also be used in applications in high-temperature areas or with high environmental loads.
