What is Si-NIR StreamLine Sensor?

Si-NIR StreamLine is an inline NIR sensor for process engineers, system integrators, and innovation teams who want to enable continuous, real-time, and autonomous material analysis solutions in unconventional operating environments. With a broad spectral range of 1,350–2,550 nm, fast 1-second scans, built-in self-calibration, and a large sampling spot, it delivers accurate results with minimal intervention. Si-NIR StreamLine is built for the realities of field operation, combining a rugged design, small form factor, flexible mounting options, and proven reliability in harsh indoor or outdoor conditions. Its adaptability makes it easy to tailor for diverse process setups and non-uniform materials: from powders and pellets to liquids and complex mixtures. Backed by Si-Ware’s MEMS FT-NIR technology and expert co-development support, Si-NIR StreamLine ensures dependable performance while helping you build sensing solutions that match your unique operational needs.
