AMA Innovation Award 2019
Double victory for development team from Dresden
The AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement (AMA) has honored the Senorics founding team with the AMA Innovation Award 2019. The 'Plan B' analysis device impressed the jury in two ways.
The development team - consisting of Robert Brückner, Matthias Jahnel, Robert Langer and Ronny Timmreck from Senorics - has won both the AMA Innovation Award and the AMA Special Award 'Young Company'. This includes a free exhibition stand at Sensor+Test (special prize) and 10,000 euros (innovation prize).
The double award-winning analysis technology makes it possible to detect whether and which ingredients are present and in what quantity after a light beam of a certain spectral range is transmitted through solid or liquid matter and measured. This approach convinced the jury. "'Plan B' enables mobile quality assurance through the detection of ingredients and compositions of industrial raw materials or foodstuffs, especially beer. The jury agrees that this solution approach with clear market relevance clearly stands out from the 38 submissions this year," said jury chairman Professor Andreas Schütze from Saarland University, explaining this year's decision.
Senoric's 'Plan B' is a compact analysis device for small breweries that offers a fast and contact-free method of determining the sugar and alcohol content in beer throughout the entire brewing process with the aim of optimizing and improving quality. The technological basis for the device is provided by innovative spectrally selective and miniaturizable detectors, with which the NIR spectroscopy measurement method can be transferred from the laboratory to mass application. The technology is therefore a platform for the detection of ingredients and compositions of industrial raw materials, agricultural products or foodstuffs for mobile quality assurance.
