BUCHI acquires Si-Ware Systems’ NeoSpectra platform to establish a fully integrated quality assurance ecosystem based on NIR
BUCHI sets a new standard in material analysis, offering tailored solutions for quality assurance at every stage of the supply chain
19 May 2025Industry news
BÜCHI Labortechnik AG has announced the acquisition of SiWare 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
