Novel NIR-system for Norwegian feed miller
The largest Norwegian feed compounder Felleskjøpet Agri, has as the first feed company in the world installed a real time, instant feedback NIR (Near Infra Red) system in one their factories.
The system, called APIS Spektron Feed, was installed in the autumn 2007, have been thoroughly tested and will be installed in the next factory later this year.APIS Spektron Feed measures feed quality parameters and instantly presents the results as numbers and graphs.The well known NIR technology is combined with specially designed software to achieve a system that gives instant feedback to operators, supervisors and quality personnel, enabling fast corrective actions.Manual feed analysis results (e.g. dust or durability) as well as relevant process parameters (eg. temperature) may also be included and presented.Differences to traditional NIRThere are significant differences between APIS Spektron Feed and traditional NIR systems used in laboratories. APIS Spektron Feed is designed for use in industrial environments and the measurement gauge is mounted over conveyor belts or in bulk conveyors.APIS Spektron Feed features include
Presentation of recipe refined targets and tolerances (min/man values)
Measurements and presentation updates may be done every second
Immediate alarms when measurements are outside defined tolerances
Presents continuous actual product cost (as a function of process cost, ingredient cost, actual production and capacity)
Reports with report filters, graphs and numbers
WEB based system – meaning easy access to the system over company intranet or internet. The new product, called APIS Spektron Feed, is developed and sold by the Norwegian company Prediktor.

Non-destructive nir technology for fruit and vegetable internal quality assessment, eliminating the skin disturbing effect
The consumer is most of all interested to know the fruit flesh quail- tee regardless of the good-looking appearance of the product offered. Up to now there has not been a consistent approach which theoretically or in practice could lead to a solution of internal quality assessment problem. The Project gives a solution particularly applicable to pot-toes, apples and peaches. The overall objective is to demonstrate anew NIR method for virtual (optical and mathematical) stripping of the skin and a photometric camera for implementation of the method. The camera allows to measure the fruit flesh spectrum without the object physical peeling, hence to predict precisely the internal quality: inside diseases and defects, degree of maturity, flavour etc.
XDS SmartProbe Analyzer
The FOSS XDS SmartProbe Analyzer, based on XDS near-infrared technology, provides the next generation of dedicated NIR analysis for rapid non-destructive measurement of liquid and solid chemical and pharmaceutical formulations.

Proceedings NIR-2005 - 12th Int'l Conference + CD ROM
The NIR-2005 Procedings is a record of the event and contains 164 full manuscripts of the 262 oral and poster presentations that made NIR-2005 a successful event. The conference theme "NIR in action – making a difference" was chosen by the organising committee to reflect the strong emphasis on the practical application of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy across a wide range of topics as practised around the world. The contents published here reflect this emphasis and we hope will serve as an appropriate and useful record of the areas of innovative science that were show-cased during the conference. To ensure their was a complete record of all oral and poster presentations at the Conference, this volume also includes the abstracts of the 97 presentations for which a full manuscript was not received.This proceedings also comes with a fully searchable CD ROM.
