Benefits of implementation

What is inline measurement?

Inline measurement is the analysis of chemical composition without sampling – directly in the production line, in real time.

Thanks to this:

  • You eliminate delays related to transport and laboratory analysis,
  • You minimize human errors,
  • You monitor quality continuously,
  • You react instantly to deviations before they affect the process.

This is a way to improve production accuracy and efficiency without changing the existing infrastructure.

Spectrally applications
in production and laboratory

Below are selected Spectrally applications:

Process and utility water

  • Continuous measurement of nitrates and biuret
  • Inline probe provides immediate readings
  • Control takes place before the main processing line

  • Measurement of SLES concentration directly in the emulsion
  • Instant confirmation of compliance with the formulation
  • No need for sampling or sample preparation

  • Real-time monitoring of free phenol and formaldehyde
  • Full control over the polymerization reaction progress
  • Process ends exactly at the target conversion point

  • Inline measurement of glycerin content
  • Stabilization of viscosity and physicochemical parameters
  • Shorter batch approval cycle in QC

  • Detection of aromatic compounds (e.g., xylene, hexane)
  • Direct measurement in the wastewater stream
  • Support for decisions on recirculation or neutralization

  • Ongoing analysis of urea concentration in the solution
  • Optimization of nitrogen dosing in the product
  • Reduced risk of emissions and nutrient losses

Why does it work?

Gekko photonics Spectrally analyzer raman

Interpreting Raman spectra requires specialized knowledge and time-consuming analysis – which can delay results by several hours.

Gekko photonics Spectrally analyzer raman

We interpret the spectra and convert them into clear numerical results. This allows process parameters to be adjusted in real time.

01

Real-time result

You see an exact numerical value instantly – no guessing, no need to interpret the spectrum.

02

Direct Measurement

The system measures composition where the reaction takes place (inline/online) – in the reactor or in the flow – so you don’t waste time on sampling and transport.

03

System Integration

Spectrally automatically reports data and connects with your MES or SCADA – saving time and avoiding manual entry and errors.

04

Integration in production

We install the system without modifying your line – it works immediately with your infrastructure and doesn’t interrupt production.

Safe implementation process

01

We start by analyzing your challenges

We analyze each step to identify real measurement points.

We map out key stages and test if composition measurement is feasible. We check whether Raman spectroscopy works effectively for your substances.

02

We select measurement points that make sense

We identify the areas where Spectrally brings the most value.

We analyze your process and current quality control methods. Together with your team, we define where inline measurement makes a real impact – reducing losses, improving repeatability, and enabling faster response.

03

We adapt Spectrally to your production

We fine-tune algorithms and configure the equipment.

We create an implementation plan: adjusting algorithms to your needs and customizing the probe. The system is configured for your specific plant conditions.

04

We launch Spectrally and support your team

We train your team and support you from day one.

We install the system at your facility, train operators, the quality team, and maintenance staff. We’re with you during launch and beyond – ensuring calibration, algorithm development, and full technical support. Your team operates with confidence from day one.

Raman spectroscopy (Spectrally) and HPLC are two different analytical techniques with different applications. Below are the key differences:

Parameter Spectrally (Raman) HPLC
Analysis time Several seconds 6–30 minutes
Sample preparation None Requires sampling and dilution
Safety Contactless Sample contact, contamination risk
Waste None Solvents and chemical waste
Maintenance costs Low High (columns, solvents)
Throughput Very high Single samples
Analysis method Through transparent packaging Only after opening
Environmental impact Eco-friendly Generates waste

  • Analysis of complex mixtures, not just standards
    Spectrally identifies composition even in real, contaminated samples. Most systems only work with pure substances.
  • Clear results – no need to interpret spectra
    Data is presented as numerical values – clear even for non-specialists. The operator immediately knows what's happening in the process.
  • Inline speed – analysis in under 5 seconds
    Spectrally works without interrupting the process and keeps up with line speed.
  • Technology that sees deeper
    Optical analysis + dedicated algorithms, pattern recognition, and chemistry-specific calibration – not generic.
  • Compliance with environmental regulations
    Spectrally supports CSRD directive compliance.

Summary:
Spectrally is an industrial analytics platform that runs at the pace of your production. It analyzes complex mixtures in real time, supports operational decisions, and replaces outdated lab systems.
