Machine Vision

Hyperspectral imaging is the key to precise quality assurance and efficient process control—contactless, non-destructive, and applicable across industries. It opens up new possibilities, from the food industry to manufacturing.

Next-Level Machine Vision:
Hyperspectral as a Key Technology

Hyperspectral imaging pushes the boundaries of traditional machine vision systems—spectral, molecular, intelligent. By fully analyzing the light spectrum, this technology opens up a new dimension of quality control and process reliability.
Especially in the food industry, it sets new standards: foreign objects are reliably detected, and ripeness and ingredients are precisely classified—inline, contactless, and in real time.
But the potential goes far beyond that. Whether in recycling, material testing, surface analysis, or forensics—hyperspectral machine vision provides a decisive knowledge advantage.
For companies aiming to master the invisible, HSI is not just an option but a strategic competitive advantage.

Spectral intelligence for every industry.

Food: Making quality visible

In food processing, hyperspectral machine vision sets new standards for quality control and product safety. It reliably detects foreign objects, precisely classifies ripeness levels and ingredients, and analyzes surface characteristics—inline, contactless, and in real time.

  • Real-time foreign object detection
  • Moisture and cell structure contro
  • Ripeness and ingredient analysis
  • Detection of microbial changes
  • Sorting by ingredient
  • Traceability & documentation

For food manufacturers, this means less waste, higher efficiency, and documented product quality throughout the entire value chain.

Recycling: Intelligently distinguishing valuable materials

In modern recycling processes, every gram counts – but only if it is separated precisely and with material purity. Conventional systems quickly reach their limits: dark plastics, textile fibers, composite materials, or treated wood often escape optical detection.

Cubert identifies materials based on their spectral fingerprint – not by color or shape, but by their chemical signature. Directly in the process. Fully automated. In real time.

  • Pure material separation
  • Material accuracy instead of misclassification
  • Higher recycle quality
  • Documented ESG performance
  • Lower process costs, higher yield

For companies aiming to make recycling efficient and sustainable, HSI is the key function in the digital sorting process.

Color measurement: precision beyond the visible

In industries where color accuracy is synonymous with product quality—from plastic to coatings—deviations are often invisible but have serious consequences.

Hyperspectral imaging enables precise, spectrum-based color analysis directly within the process.

  • Objective data on pigmentation
  • Uniformity control
  • Composition analysis

Where conventional RGB systems reach their perception limits, HSI delivers reliable results. For quality managers, this means less rework, less waste—and maximum color accuracy.

Surface & coating inspection: Making quality layers visible

Thin layers, big impact—whether in medical technology, technical coatings, or industrial protective layers.

But how can you check whether a coating is homogeneous, correctly applied, and chemically complete—without destroying it?

  • Detection of minimal irregularities in layer thickness
  • Analysis of chemical composition
  • Control of wetting and application

HSI makes the invisible visible—and elevates surface inspection to a new level of process reliability.

Art & forensics: truths beneath the surface

Whether analyzing historical paintings or securing evidence at a crime scene, hyperspectral imaging provides answers where conventional methods reach their limits.

  • Identify pigment compositions
  • Reveal overpaintings and hidden structures
  • Detect biological traces or chemical residues

For restorers, museums, or forensic experts, HSI is a scientifically precise, contactless tool for preservation, documentation, and evidence collection—efficient, discreet, and forensically reliable.

New perspectives for businesses

For food manufacturers, recycling companies, the automotive and surface industries, as well as manufacturing businesses, hyperspectral machine vision opens up entirely new possibilities.

Automated inspection and precise quality control can be seamlessly integrated into the production line. Real-time data from hyperspectral imaging creates transparency throughout the entire production process and enables data-driven decisions.

In research and development, new approaches emerge for precise phenotypic analysis, automated classification, and real-time monitoring of biological systems under production conditions.

Hyperspectral machine vision –
precise quality control in real time

Cubert snapshot cameras bring hyperspectral imaging directly into industrial processes. Unlike line-based scanners, our systems deliver complete spectral data with each capture—without motion blur and without interrupting the production flow.
In combination with the CUVIS software, this creates an intuitive solution for classifying and analyzing materials, surfaces, or contaminants—right on the line, with no programming required.
For production reliability that doesn’t just measure but truly understands.
