Why Inline?

Privacy-first. NDA available. Your data stays yours.

Why in-line beats off-line, at-line, and on-line

In-line spectroscopy enables instant process insights that traditional off-line methods simply can’t match.

On-line

Sample is automatically diverted from the process to an analyzer and returned afterward. Slight delay.

Off-line

Sample is taken to a separate lab for analysis. Longest delay, highest risk of changes or contamination.

In-line

Measurement happens directly in the process stream, continuously and in real time. No sampling or delay.

At-line

Sample is taken manually and analyzed near the process (e.g. in a nearby lab).

In-line  spectroscopy transforms
process control from reactive
to predictive.

By measuring directly within the stream,
you eliminate sampling errors, contamination risks, and time loss.

Every second of your production becomes measurable  –  enabling real optimization, not assumptions.​

Custom-built fiber systems and sensor combinations engineered for your process.

Optional cloud-based AI processing unifies multi-spectral data and delivers continuous, real-time insights.

Durable fiber probes provide in-situ access to liquids, gases, and solids, ensuring reliable performance under high-temperature, high-pressure, or corrosive conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

AFS develops and tests fiber-optic spectroscopy systems that help companies find the most effective in-line method to monitor and optimize their production processes.

Inline spectroscopy delivers real-time data directly from within the process, eliminating sampling errors and delays – resulting in faster adjustments and better process efficiency.

It’s an integrated setup that combines several spectroscopy methods — ATR-absorption, Raman, Fluorescence, and UV-Vis-NIR reflection/transmission – in one platform. This allows direct comparison and selection of the most effective technique for a given process.

Our systems operate across the 0.3 – 16 µm spectral range, covering UV-Vis, Near-IR, and Mid-IR — all accessible through robust fiber-optic probes.

Any chemical, biochemical, or industrial reaction can be analyzed – including harsh, high-temperature, high-pressure, or corrosive environments. The fiber probes are designed to withstand vibration, pH extremes, and aggressive media.
