IBIS
Infrared Beer Intelligent System
Complex tool (AI-based) for quality control of beer and intermediate products during beer production
(wort, beer during fermentation).
The IBIS software is used for automatic analysis/evaluation of infrared spectra obtained according to the methodology “Determination of beer sensory stability using infrared spectroscopy.” The evaluation of susceptibility to aging can be applied mainly to lagers, non-alcoholic beers, and wheat beers, but all beer styles can be used outside of this methodology.
What are the benefits?
- Analytical quality control of wort, fermenting and final beer
- Susceptibility of beer to aging– unique method
- All in one analysis – approx. 3 minutes per sample
- No extensive sample pretreatment – slight degassing only
- Simple, rapid analysis – at-line – suitable for an action during production
- Resource savings: chemical, material, time, and energy
What can you expect?
This tool includes an FTIR instrument (provided by Nicolet CZ, s.r.o or another local distributor) and IBIS software.
We offer two convenient options for breweries: Larger operations can purchase an analytical device from our partner and perform measurements independently. For smaller breweries, we offer a simple solution — just send us a sample and we will analyse it accurately for a nominal fee.
What do we offer?
1. PRODUCT
Product including the laboratory instrumentand IBIS software, system support
+ regular updates of the calculation model.
The software consists of a client and an administrator application:
- allows uploading input data (infrared spectra of analyzed samples in the form of .csv files)
- analyzing these data using a neural network model
- viewing spectra and results
- exporting results in an .xlsx file.
The client application offers two language versions (Czech and English – the user can choose the language). The application also offers the user to change the password, change the input and output data folders, select or disable automatic export of results, or manually export results, manually or automatically upload input data, delete or add spectra, insert notes, and automatically or manually enter the label of the analyzed sample.
To successfully work with the client application, an internet connection is required (the application must communicate with the remote server where the actual IR spectra analysis is performed).
