[company_age]18.0[/company_age][employees]2-10 employees[/employees][funding]Series unknown[/funding][description]i-RED Infrared Systems GmbH is a company that specializes in spectroscopic real-time monitoring solutions for the control and optimization of chemical and physical production processes. The company's technological core is a new in-house developed FTNIR or FTIR technology specifically designed and optimized for industrial use. i-RED has also developed the SpectroPLC technology, which enables the implementation of almost arbitrary spectral sensors into a fully automated process spectroscopic system (e.g., UV/VIS, NIR, MIR, Raman). The company's activities range from the feasibility study up to the implementation of complete in-line process monitoring systems. i-RED offers its customers a wide field of competence, ranging from the mechanical and optical design of application-specific measurement optics, software development, automation, interfacing, and visualization solutions. In order to get the maximum customer value from the measured data, i-RED has extensive expertise in the field of multivariate data analysis, including model development to fully automatic evaluation of the measurement data in real-time. To permanently secure the proper functioning of the process monitoring system, i-RED provides a comprehensive maintenance concept for all hardware and software components, including the evaluation models. The company's main fields of application are real-time determination of the concentration of complex mixtures (liquid, solid, gas), inline process monitoring for chemical reactions (continuous and batch reactions), inline quality control of solids or solids streams and coatings (e.g., paper and steel finishing, foil, plastic parts, fibers, food, pharmaceutical powder, ashes), and high-precision contactless temperature monitoring.[/description][ps]Spectroscopic real-time monitoring solutions for the control and optimization of chemical and physical production processes.[/ps]
