At FOSS, we believe the value of analysis lies in how quickly you can act on it. A result is only valuable if you can trust it, which is why our solutions are designed to combine speed with reliable analysis. Whether a lorry is waiting at the weighbridge or a batch is still in production, having the right information at the right time can help you make more informed decisions.
One of the technologies behind our solutions is near-infrared (NIR) analysis. Light passing through or reflecting off a sample creates a spectrum, which calibration models translate into the measurements you need. With no chemicals, minimal sample preparation and no need to wait for traditional laboratory results, analysis can become a more natural part of your everyday workflow.
At grain intake, Infratec analysers can measure parameters including moisture, protein, oil, starch, test weight, wet gluten, fibre and ash in under a minute, depending on the commodity. This can help keep lorries moving, support payment based on specification and reduce the potential for disputes. The same principle of fast, reliable analysis also plays an important role across other areas of the food and agricultural industries.
Behind every result is years of knowledge and expertise. Our calibrations are developed using global sample databases and validated each year through the World Grain Network ring test, an ISO 17043 compliant proficiency scheme involving grain laboratories across more than 20 countries, helping to ensure that results remain reliable and consistent.
For 70 years, FOSS has worked alongside the food and agricultural industries. Today, we continue to combine technology, expertise and practical insight to help our customers make better decisions, faster.
