Currently relying on external reference analysis
If your current set up relies solely on external reference analysis, adding in-house NIR to your daily operations means that you can avoid waiting days for analysis results to come in.
NIR provides fast and accurate results and enables more frequent testing. Make faster decisions about raw materials with access to accurate data about composition and quality whenever you need it at a low cost per sample.
How much can you save?
Example: A feed mill sends 10 weekly samples to an external lab.
With NIR, only 1 weekly sample is needed for validation. Yearly savings can be (10-1) samples / week x 50 weeks / year x 100 USD / sample = 45.000 USD
Currently relying on in-house chemical analysis
Although chemical analysis is faster and less expensive than external reference analysis, there are still a fair amount of labour and consumable costs associated.
NIR provides fast and accurate results and enables more frequent testing at a low cost. Get a better understanding of process variations and where improvements can be made with access to accurate data about composition and quality. Produce closer to specifications, reduce raw material cost, and improve final product quality.
How much can you save?
Example: Replacing most of your daily chemical analyses with NIR can help reduce the cost of labour, reagents and other consumables.
Using NIR, savings in variable costs can be 20 USD per sample. For a mill running 20 samples per week, the savings can amount to 20.000 USD per year.
