TUNE UP YOUR WORKFLOW

TO PERFECTION.

We provide end-to-end integration of spectrometry systems and ensure the full process of their implementation, from design and customization to installation, deployment and support. Our services are tailored to your needs, whether those involve robust spectrometry systems for industrial settings or portable tools that deliver results right where you work.

Customizing hardware circuits, software deployment and enabling one-click identification through our software, are just some of the applications of our service. We deliver fast, scalable results that bring your project to life.

What We Do.

Line icons representing cloud-based AI, niche hardware, and UI interfaces.

  • We connect to any spectrometer or analytical machine. By doing that you can collect and store data in real time, while tracking changes over time. Our system automatically identifies materials and immediately shows key data. This provides scientists and entry-level users with powerful tools to analyze their findings efficiently.

  • We design custom hardware for specific use cases. Those include handheld devices for quick testing on site and advanced lab systems that handle complex tasks like robotic sorting and automated assembly lines.

  • We create custom user interfaces, tailored to each company’s branding. Our design emphasizes simplicity and ease of use, even for non-scientists. Features include intuitive "pass/fail" displays for quick decision-making.

Unknown ID connects all your devices to a single centralized system. Portable Raman spectrometers, benchtop FTIR analyzers, UV-VIS sensors for manufacturing quality control and handheld XRF devices can all be linked to Uknown ID. We offer you:

  • You can connect to and command instruments from any place on the globe with an internet connection. This works both for large companies that manage multiple devices and for hands-on environments where instruments are actively used, such as lab benches, factory lines, or field stations.

  • Real-time data flows into the cloud where it is securely stored and instantly processed. You and your partners can access it and collaborate seamlessly.

  • You can install Unknown ID on your local server or you can use our cloud service.

  • You can view and compare spectral data from different spectrometry methods (Raman, FTIR, UV-Vis). Overlaying results from different sources allows you to gain deeper insights, identify trends and assess the condition of your goods.

  • We use machine learning algorithms to recognize and classify materials in your samples. Your scientists and engineers can introduce your latest data to optimize the accuracy of our AI.

  • Your technicians, engineers and scientists can each have a specialized access and view, adapted to their roles.

  • Our spectroscopy tools can be linked with industrial automation systems from Epson, Kuka and ABB. They can send commands and receive input from robotic arms and equipment. This enables fully automated workflows like sorting items based on properties like composition or quality.

  • You can connect Unknown ID directly to ESP32 microcontrollers using input/output (IO) pins. These interfaces, commonly used to send and receive signals, are perfect for DIY electronics projects and rapid prototyping. The configuration works seamlessly with our DARK MATTER drives.

ADVANCED MODE:
Designed for researchers, engineers and experts who want flexibility, control and analysis tools.

  • See real-time spectra from any connected device. Our software is optimized to be as user-friendly as possible, and you can rely on our cloud service.

  • Compare multiple spectra side by side at the same time. Spot differences and trends easily.

  • Select spectral ranges and identify key peaks to streamline your analysis.

  • Match new data against previous results or similar samples to identify patterns, similarities and differences.

  • Don’t reinvent the wheel, use existing settings and send spectra data to your dedicated workspace.

BEGINNER MODE:
Built to excel at commercial exhibitions by showcasing your aesthetics. Show off your brand and your expertise in new ways.

  • Start a scan and you will immediately be able to show readings about your material.

  • Automatically compare new data with already known samples by using an established database for reference.

  • You will get step-by-step instructions with visual cues.

  • Spot what matters. Our software automatically flags key spectral peaks, so you can highlight what is important.

  • Technicians and lab personnel can connect to the system remotely and assist you in real-time while you’re operating your spectrometer.
