Time sensitivity is a critical pain point in the agricultural industry. With hungry animals, optimal harvest windows, and heavy workloads, farmers face the challenge of making quick and informed decisions. Our task was to design and engineer a portable spectrometer using Si-Wares’ lab-on-a-chip technology. This innovation aimed to provide farmers with instant, in-field materials analysis for maximising livestock feed quality. By understanding the urgency of farm work, we embarked on designing and manufacturing the NeoSpectra Scanner—a sturdy, ergonomic handheld device that offers accurate on-demand analysis of various samples.
