Wearable ScanCorder
As a handheld device, the ScanCorder is already quite small and handy for a high-performance spectral optical sensor. Compolytics is now miniaturising the ScanCorder technology even further and turning it into a wearable. Particularly in combination with our existing micro fluid spectral sensor technology, this allows for revolutionary applications not only for industry, but especially…

Salicornia ScanCorder in Action
We developed together with the Salt Lab at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) a multispectral handheld sensor based on the Compolytics® ScanCorder platform to quantitatively measure various quality traits of Salicornia seeds. After about 9 months of development, including several measurement campaigns and machine learning-based modelling utilising our proprietary modelling platform, the…

Smoke Gets in Your Wine
Vineyard exposure to bushfire smoke can taint grapes, causing significant revenue losses where smoky, ashy characters render wine unsaleable. In order to safeguard grape and wine quality and to predict the severity of smoke taint in grapes in real-time, Compolytics, as part of a joint project with The University of Adelaide, The Australian Wine Research…

Systematic Assessment of Salicornia Seeds
Together with our R&D partner, the Center for Desert Agriculture at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, we have started the development of a tailored multispectral sensor for Salicornia seeds. Salicornia, also known as sea asparagus, is found in various marine habitats around the world and can be grown under…

Introducing Angular Spectroscopy
The Compolytics ScanCorder, using a sequence of tailored lights, has been extended to illuminate the sample from different angles. This provides additional information about the microstructure of the material. We call this angular spectroscopy. Watch our latest Technology Snippet: https://youtu.be/4FlaYjSP_3g

Expanding the ScanCorder Capabilities to Insects
Together with our scientific cooperation partner Julius Kühn Institute, we have conducted the first test measurements for the spectral optical detection of aphids and other plant-infesting insects and material pests. The classical texture-based imaging approach is to be supplemented by spectroscopy, which yields detailed information about the bio-chemical composition and perfectly complements information about shape, colour,…

Improving Cannabis Farming
Monitoring cannabis plants with the COMPOLYTICS® ScanCorder for different varieties and treatments for industrial applications. Plants and reference data for modelling were provided by the University of Adelaide. All measurements were conducted at the Waite Campus. Our sensor improves the regulatory compliance and productivity of cannabis greenhouse and field cultivation.
