Specim unveil FX series for industrial imaging applications

The Specim FX series currently consists of three robust hyperspectral cameras that offer a range of features which allow it to be particularly functional in the area of industrial imaging applications.

The camera series provides 100% image covering and uses non-destructive methods by collecting its results from a target's chemical composition.

The Specim FX series is an easily integrated product that can be installed on new and existing sorting lines. The imaging results are accessible through commercial analysis software on a standard interface. Data analysis results are then communicated through to sorting machines and can be applied to systems such as robot hands and air jets.

Another impressive characteristic of the FX series is the Multiple Region Of Interest (MROI) feature which allows users to focus on specific areas that bear the most significance. The MROI areas can be adjusted on the go and flexibly selected. Used effectively, the MROI can reduce data and cut costs by reducing time.

Application Case Study - Specim FX10
In New Zealand, farmers have traditionally needed to send samples to a lab in order to test its chemical composition. This sampling process is very expensive (est. $200 per sample) and very slow. It's often that by the time a farmer receives the required information the pasture has already been grazed.

Expensive and time consuming, a solution was required.

Precision agriculture is a farming concept based on observing, measuring and responding precisely to plant requirements.

The practice of being able to respond to a target based on its chemical composition using non-destructive methods, is appealling to farmers that aim to ensure environmental sustainability without compromising profitability.

The Specim FX10 is considered a useful tool in the world of precision agriculture. In fact, it is often used to effectively improve farm productivity and profitability all whilst minimising our environmental footprint.
