Performance validation allows you to validate ProFoss™ 2 predictions using a FOSS benchtop analyser such as FoodScan 2 or NIRS™ DS3 as reference, without any manual entry of data.
Samples are measured and registered by the ProFoss™ 2 and benchtop analyser respectively to eliminate the risk of error and secure optimal performance. Using integration, connectivity and automation the results matched are saved via cloud and are ready for evaluation and reporting using digital services.
