Near-infrared spectroscopy moves into warehouses to check incoming drug substances, excipients, and packaging materials, and onto the production floor to monitor characteristics such as blend uniformity, moisture content, and dissolution rate.
NIR Spectroscopy with AI Proves to be a Powerful Combination for Tea Classification
January 29th 2025A team of researchers from Nankai University has developed an advanced method to classify tea types using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and artificial intelligence (AI). Their approach, involves a fine-tuned 1DResNet model, outperforms traditional methods, and offers an accurate, non-destructive, and efficient classification solution for the tea industry.
