Description
Polispec VIS+ Inline Non-contact is an industrial spectrophotometer that simultaneously monitors color and chemical-physical parameters (e.g., moisture, composition, or quality indexes) without any product contact.

Operating within the 400–1060 nm range, it combines visible and NIR analysis into a single instrument.

The system operates from a distance, analyzing the material flow moving along the production line without altering or interrupting it.

The reflectance configuration makes it ideal for installation above conveyor belts, providing repeatable measurements even on irregular product surfaces. It ensures operational continuity, easy installation on existing lines, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Software
From measurement to control: Polispec VIS+ software integration

Every analysis, whether performed in the field, in the lab, or on the production line, gains value only when the data becomes understandable and actionable. This is why ITPhotonics developed a native software ecosystem, engineered as an integral part of the hardware rather than a mere accessory.

Our modules — Polidata, Poliprocess, CMM/CME, and SP3Manager — are distinct yet complementary solutions designed to meet specific operational needs: from portable in-field measurements to in-line process control and advanced spectra management.

Instrument and software thus form a single technological hub, working in synergy to provide a concrete and immediate operational advantage.

Polidata is the native software developed to guide operators through every phase of mobile or at-line workflows. From instrument configuration and sample collection to advanced reporting, it offers complete system control without requiring complex IT skills.

It manages two distinct operating modes: analysis mode, for immediate measurement and sample comparison, and sample collection mode, for building calibration datasets and structured management of measurement sessions.

All analyses are stored in a searchable local database, featuring a complete history by product, batch, and operator. Reports are fully customizable in both content and layout, and data can be exported in major formats (CSV, DAT, PDF, XML) for seamless integration with other management systems.

Key features:

  • Complete instrument control in analysis and sample collection modes
  • Historical analysis database with search filters by product, batch, date, and operator
  • Customizable reporting
    Multi-format export (CSV, DAT, PDF, XML)
  • Intuitive touchscreen interface designed for practical field and laboratory use

Poliprocess is the software module developed for in-line applications and the seamless integration of Polispec instruments within production machinery and plants. Far more than a simple management interface, it operates as a true industrial connectivity platform, transforming spectral data into control signals directly actionable by automation systems.

It natively integrates major industrial communication protocols—Modbus TCP (client and server), ISO over TCP (Siemens S7), OPC-UA Server, ISOBUS, CANBUS, and Analog Output—guarantying full compatibility with PLCs, SCADA, and supervision systems present in the plant.

Dedicated datalogger modules enable continuous measurement recording with timestamps, alarm management, and the configuration of quality thresholds. It is the ideal solution to transform the spectrophotometer into an active, intelligent node within the process control network.

Key features:

  • Modbus TCP (client and server), ISO over TCP / Siemens S7, OPC-UA Server
  • ISOBUS, CANBUS, Analog Output, and additional protocols upon request
  • Integrated datalogger with timestamp, alarm management, and quality thresholds
  • Compatible with major PLCs, SCADA, and supervision systems
  • Parameter configuration and calibration curves directly from the software

CMM (Calibration Model Manager) and CME (Calibration Model Editor) are the software packages dedicated to the management, standardization, and protection of chemometric calibration models.

A critical aspect in industrial spectral applications is the compatibility between models developed using third-party software (e.g., SensoLogic, Ucal, etc.) and the instrument’s operational software. The CMM/CME system solves this challenge: through specific ADKs for Polidata and Poliprocess, it makes calibration models directly usable within the Polispec ecosystem, regardless of the suite they were originally developed with.

In addition to full compatibility, the package manages model standardization strategies, data encryption to protect intellectual property, the implementation of calculated parameters, and multi-language support.

Key features:

  • Compatibility with chemometric models developed using third-party suites
  • Dedicated ADKs for seamless integration with Polidata and Poliprocess
  • Management of model standardization strategies across different instruments
  • Encryption of calibration models for intellectual property protection
  • Implementation of calculated parameters and multi-language support

SP3Manager is the application dedicated to raw spectral data management. It serves as the reference tool for those working directly with spectra generated by Polispec systems, such as researchers, data scientists, and laboratory technicians, who need to access information in a flexible and structured manner.

The system enables the acquisition, visualization, and analysis of spectra, the construction and organization of calibration datasets, and the export of spectral files into the most common formats for processing with third-party chemometric software.

It is the essential starting point for developing new analytical models: from collecting reference spectra to creating balanced and representative datasets, SP3Manager supports the entire calibration development workflow, making the process perfectly reproducible and traceable.

Key features:

  • Import, visualization, and analysis of spectra generated by Polispec instruments
    Construction and organization of structured calibration datasets
  • Export in various formats (CSV, JCAMP-DX, SPC, etc.) for processing with third-party software
  • Traceable workflow for the development and validation of new chemometric models
  • Reference tool for R&D, laboratories, and product development teams
