Request for instrument manufacturer with expertise in hyperspectral imaging to develop a handheld device for measuring the graded maturity of cheese.
A scientific research organisation and a local dairy producer in Northern Ireland are seeking partners to assist in developing a handheld scanning device for assessing cheese maturity. Hyperspectral imaging-based algorithms have already been developed to measure the graded maturity of cheese, with a patent currently pending. The next phase of this research involves creating practical instrumentation for use by the dairy producer, with potential for broader technology licensing opportunities.
