"ADI and CP share a vision to enable our customers to interpret the
world around us," said
"We are excited to work together with ADI to embed the SCiO technology
for material sensing in more applications and industries," said
SCiO's underlying science is called Near-Infra-Red (NIR) Spectroscopy and has been used in laboratories around the world for decades in diverse industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, healthcare, oil and gas, plastics, cosmetics, geology, mineralogy, and many more. Current devices are large and expensive, making them unfit for current and future IoT applications.
The physical basis underlying NIR Spectroscopy's material analysis is based on the principle that each type of molecule vibrates in a unique way, and these vibrations interact with light to create a unique optical signature. The signature is acquired using the optical sensor and signal conditioning electronics. Advanced algorithms utilize an updatable database to analyze the spectrum and deliver information about the analyzed sample back to the user in real time.
Developer kits will be available for building custom applications.
