PROCESSING AND SAFETY<br />

EXPERTS<br />

Manufactures light sources and sensors with detection across <strong>the</strong> whole<br />

spectrum, including imagery. Their devices are able to determine aspects<br />

such as humidity, sugar, acidity level, Brix (parameter indicating<br />

<strong>the</strong> quality of fruit).<br />

They also make matrices to scan a certain product, as well as electronics,<br />

so <strong>the</strong>y can provide a camera to determine damage on fruit, for example,<br />

at very competitive prices.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong>y have mini-spectrometers to separate grains or rice<br />

from stones or foreign products, as well as detectors for absorptions and<br />

colour analysis, and sources and cameras for X-rays.<br />
