Instrumentation for Environmental and Renewable Energy Applications
The UK is making progress towards using more renewable energy to reduce its carbon emissions and reach net zero by 2050. There are ambitious targets set for all aspects of environmental concerns, including recycling, emissions reduction, species abundance and water health.
The climate challenge faces citizens, scientists, industry, and governments alike. From renewable energy, waste and environmental management, and recycling, our customers are looking at new and innovative ways to meet these challenges. Researchers and scientists need to be aware of new developments, and have access to the latest technology, to reach these goals. Semiconductors, for instance, are essential for the transition to renewable energy and the electricity grid by enabling the conversion, storage, and distribution of energy from renewable sources. Quantum Design UK and Ireland offers solutions to advance research with highly sensitive measurement instrumentation.

Breakthrough in Black Plastic Sorting
The Specim FX50 is the first and only push-broom hyperspectral camera on the market that covers the full MWIR spectral range of 2.7 – 5.3 μm.
This breakthrough product with enhanced features and capabilities expands the possibilities in industrial sorting, quality control, process optimisation, and research by detecting materials that are not detectable with any other wavelength or imaging method, such as hydrocarbons, minerals, oil, and contamination on metal surfaces.

Case Study – Hyperspectral: A Tool for Future Waste Management
Spectral-based material identification … in real-time
Waste Robotics aims to enable more precise, safer, and more profitable waste recycling on a global scale. They combine advanced waste-handling processes, computer vision, deep learning algorithms, hyperspectral imaging, and state-of-the-art robotic technologies. Even though Waste Robotics’s overall sorting accuracy was on a good level, they saw that there was still room for improvement. The company started to look for a solution and decided to test whether Specim’s hyperspectral imaging cameras could help them take the sorting accuracy to the next level.
