BUCHI sets a new standard in material analysis, offering tailored solutions for quality assurance at key stages of the supply chain in food, feed, and chemicals industries
FLAWIL, CH / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2025 / BÜCHI Labortechnik AG announces the acquisition of Si-Ware Systems' NeoSpectra platform, including Si-Ware Systems' handheld NIR analyzer and the NeoSpectra cloud-based software portal for data, device, and calibration model management. By combining Si-Ware Systems' field-ready solutions with BUCHI's high-end laboratory, at-line, and on-line Near-Infrared (NIR) analysis expertise, BUCHI now delivers an integrated ecosystem that enhances quality assurance and enables data-driven decisions across the supply chain, particularly in industries such as food, feed, and chemicals.
"With this strategic acquisition, BUCHI becomes the only provider to offer a fully integrated NIR ecosystem - including innovative handheld solutions - designed to meet the unique analytical needs at key stages of the supply chain in food, feed, and chemical industries" states Thomas Braunschweiler, CEO of BUCHI.
Whether at the sourcing stage, during production, or for final quality checks, BUCHI ensures instant, precise, and non-destructive analysis. By uniting all instruments under the interconnected open NeoSpectra software platform, stationary and portable solutions work together harmoniously, offering comprehensive functionality for diverse applications. In addition, the system allows seamless transfer of calibration models across devices and from different manufacturers.
"With this integration, BUCHI empowers users to maximize the utility of their NIR devices while maintaining consistency and transparency for all stakeholders across supply chains. We believe this will bring much bigger value to our customers." said Ruedi Hartmann, Director NIR Business at BUCHI.
The NeoSpectra Scanner - now introduced as BUCHI ProxiScout - plays a key role at the sourcing stage, acting as an in-field analyzer that immediately detects adulteration or variations in critical parameters such as moisture and protein content. This vital data is sent directly to procurement teams, enabling them to reject compromised batches and avoid unnecessary logistical and processing costs. Upon arrival at manufacturing facilities, additional BUCHI NIR instruments-such as ProxiMate, NIR-Online, and NIRFlex N-500- continue the analytical process at different production stages. Synchronizing all analytical data through the NeoSpectra Cloud Portal ensures that insights from each stage seamlessly inform decisions at subsequent steps, creating a cohesive quality assurance system.
"This is an important step in scaling the opportunities that Si-Ware Systems' MEMS NIR spectral sensors can enable. While NeoSpectra will now be part of BUCHI's portfolio, we are confident that it will continue to thrive under its stewardship. At Si-Ware Systems, we remain committed to our mission of pioneering new technologies that redefine industries." said Hisham Haddara, CEO of Si-Ware Systems.
BUCHI welcomes existing NeoSpectra customers and partners and remains committed to ensuring a seamless transition and continued support. The integration aims to maintain uninterrupted operations while expanding the value delivered through the combined NIR ecosystem.
