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.
