Automated particle image analysis

Information

The automated characterization of particles, droplets, and crystals in many laboratories and production environments fails due to inadequate image evaluation algorithms. With somaWORKSPACE, Inline Process Solutions GmbH (IPS) closes this gap: The AI-driven software provides a universal automation solution for precise shape and size analysis – cross-device and manufacturer-independent for all imaging methods such as light microscopy, SEM, or micro-CT. Previously, employees often manually evaluated only a few particles and made decisions based on guesswork. somaWORKSPACE unlocks this inaccessible image information: In seconds instead of hours, thousands of particles are automatically captured and processed into a statistically reliable distribution for fast batch releases and quality assurance. Thanks to modern neural networks, the software separates even overlapping objects and identifies different particle classes (e.g., interfering particles or impurities). Additionally, parameters such as brightness, turbidity, or coloration provide valuable insights into overall process quality.
Inline Process Solutions GmbHS07Accelerating Lab Automation with AI-Driven Particle Analysis Inline Process Solutions presents somaWORKSPACE, a cutting-edge software solution designed to transform manual microscopy and imaging into a fully automated, digital workflow. By leveraging robust, innovative analysis algorithms, somaWORKSPACE detects particles and clusters with high precision, even in challenging conditions such as high overlap or blurred imagery. Our solution is a key enabler for the "Lab of the Future," providing: Statistical Reliability: Eliminate human bias and ensure reproducible, high-quality data for critical decision-making. Efficiency & Scalability: Significantly reduce processing times and seamlessly scale your analysis from R&D to pilot plants. Advanced Image Processing: Full support for a wide variety of imaging techniques, ensuring flexibility across diverse hardware setups. somaWORKSPACE is specifically engineered for high-growth sectors including Biotech, Pharmaceuticals (QC & Formulation), Chemicals, and Advanced Materials. We help laboratories bridge the gap between raw imaging data and actionable insights, driving the next wave of digital transformation in particle characterization. From the Lab Directly into the Process Beyond standalone lab data, true digital transformation requires continuous real-time insights. To complement somaWORKSPACE, Inline Process Solutions develops high-performance inline process sensors that capture sharp, precise particle images directly within active production lines. By delivering real-time particle data straight from the process stream, our combined sensor and software ecosystem enables: Reduced Off-Spec Batches: Detect process deviations instantly before entire batches are compromised. Accelerated R&D & Scale-Up: Shorten development cycles through immediate feedback under actual operating conditions. Deep Process Understanding: Empower data-driven process optimization and robust control strategies with contiuous, uncompromised particle metrics. Visit us at our booth to experience how somaWORKSPACE and our inline sensor technology can elevate your particle analysis from periodic sampling to full-process intelligence!
