Labby offers AI-enabled Optical Sensing

Testing solutions for milk and other beverages rely on laboratories for analyzing quality. Since most of the beverages and agro products are perishable, there is a need for quick testing systems. The currently available testing systems provide basic information about the beverages. There is a requirement for systems to analyze the composition of the beverage in a short time. Therefore, startups are developing AI-based solutions to analyze beverage composition.

US-based startup Labby provides AI-enabled optical sensing technology. The solution enables efficient lab-quality testing of dairy and agro products. The startup provides an inline and standalone tester for milk analysis, hand-held milk analyzers, and software for real-time herd health monitoring. The platform uses optical spectroscopy and cloud-based analytics to test food and beverages. The solution uses scattering, absorption, and fluorescence to determine milk composition. It helps small-scale food/beverage producers and farmers to perform high scale testing conveniently.

Guantu provides Textile Composition Testing System

Traditional textile composition testing is labor-intensive and uses darkrooms which have deteriorating health impacts on the workers. The current solutions lack qualitative determination of types of fiber that are still human-oriented. Therefore, to reduce labor intensity and impact of working conditions, startups are developing solutions to automate textile testing.

Chinese startup Guantu offers a solution for textile composition testing. The solution uses an adjustable three-lens field of view that qualitatively determines the types of fibers contained in fabric samples. It enables the analysis of various fibers like animal fiber, plant fiber, regenerated cellulose fiber, and chemical fiber. The system comprises a high-definition 4K industrial camera, a high-resolution microscope lens, a high-definition display, and more. The camera is integrated with a CPU and operating system enabling report generation and storage.

Fluid Screen provides Bacterial Analytics Technology

Microbial contamination of pharmaceuticals is a challenge for researchers as well as pharmaceutical manufacturers. It results in the spoilage of the formula as it breaks down active ingredients and excipients, affecting the potency, stability, and efficacy of the drug. The current testing mechanisms such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) take considerable time before presenting results. Therefore, to reduce the time taken in testing, startups are developing lab-on-a-chip solutions.

US-based startup Fluid-Screen provides bacterial analytics technology for application in the pharmaceutical industry. Fluid-Screen’s technology consists of a disposable microchip, benchtop instrumentation, a software application, and a data analytics platform. When deployed in upstream and downstream drug manufacturing processes, it enables fast, accurate detection of microbial contaminants in small molecules, biotherapeutics, and cell therapy. Moreover, the solution ensures process and product consistency by accurately counting the viable organisms and spores in microbiome therapeutics.

Industrial Analytics provides Prescriptive Maintenance

Monitoring refineries and equipment in the refineries is difficult due to extreme temperatures, fouling, and contaminants. The present systems provide information about machine failures after the event. Therefore, startups are developing Internet of Things (IoT)-based prescriptive maintenance platforms to reduce operational risks.

German startup Industrial Analytics provides AI-enabled prescriptive maintenance for chemical refineries. It uses hypothesis testing to generate indicative events via continuous monitoring of the equipment. The hybrid model uses physics-based principles along with machine learning to perform dynamic simulations of the plant behavior and calculate expected values when used for monitoring. The platform also provides IoT-enabled vibration monitoring to detect changes in the equipment pattern and tests it against past data to mark deviations. This helps refinery managers to take preventive actions.

LabsCubed provides a Robot Tensile Testing System

The current rubber tensile testing mechanisms test one sample at a time. Moreover, slips occur due to the usage of wrong grips and the results are error-prone due to system deflection. Therefore, to address these problems startups are developing automated rubber testing solutions.

Canadian startup LabsCubed offers a multi-sample rubber tensile testing system. The startup’s solution, CubeOne, is a robot testing system calibrated and certified to American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards. The plug and play system comprises multiple cameras that enable the capture of extensive elongation of the rubber. The system then uses vision system software to analyze the results. It has electronic rubber grips that adjust during testing ensuring no slips occur.
