Instruments

The required equipment with technical details are mentioned below;

Main Equipment- SpectraAlyzer 2.0 Dairy

The SPA 2.0 and other supporting accessories required to achieve the objective are;

 Standard Drawer-for Measurement of non-liquid samples

 Liquid Drawer- for Measurement of liquid samples

 Accessories, Fitments and Cups- For non-liquid Samples.

 Software- Chemo-metrics Software- Application Work G2

Working Principle – The SPA 2.0 uses the reliable “Near Infrared Analysis”
Wavelengths ranges from 800 to 2500 nm – for diagnosing different peaks of several
parameter selected.
1. Intelligent spectrometer
2. Deduce multiple chemical properties of a sample from its spectrum.
3. Simultaneously measures several parameters
4. No chemical reagents needed, minimal sample preparation
5. Secondary method: needs to be calibrated with standard methods first.
6. Measurement results obtained within seconds.
7. Reduces operating expenses
8. No chemical waste
9. Simple sample presentation
10. Temperature influence: Nil.
11. One time calibration and adjustment.

Disadvantages of Traditional Wet Chemistry Techniques

1. need a lot of time
2. are destructive methods
3. need a lot of sample preparation
4. need a lot of reagent
5. need a lot of manpower
6. Leave solvent and other waste.

State of art Embedded SW and GUI – The User Interface of SPA 2.0 is user friendly
and several components can be analysed and displayed at one-go.

Communication-the SPA 2.0 communicate through LAN, WIFI, RS232 for getting
data on server and getting the remote access of system (i.e. For Remote Analysis and
Diagnosis).

Data Management
 Software required – AWX Software - Data Acquisition, Integration, Calibration
and Visualization Software.
 Software Features:
o Access for remote operation, maintenance diagnostics and trouble
shooting
o Several clients access the AWX database stored on a single server
o Intuitive handling and easy-to-use software with individual screen
layouts
o Product-specific target limits
o Storing on server
o AWX Software diagnostic, Integration, Calibration, Visualization and
Module development.
o Export of measuring data for further analysis or trouble shooting
o Database service routines (export and import)
