Improve Process Stability, Quality and Yield with Real-Time Chemical Monitoring

Industrial processes need faster, more reliable process insight

Many industrial processes rely on offline laboratory testing, manual sampling and indirect measurements to understand what is happening inside the process. This delays decisions, limits process optimization and increases the risk of off-spec production, scrap and yield losses.

Timegate enables real-time chemical monitoring directly in the process, providing actionable insight into material composition, reaction progress and product quality. Teams gain earlier visibility into process deviations, helping improve consistency, reduce waste and optimize production performance.

Turning Industrial Challenges Into Process Advantages

High-Temperature Process Compatibility

Many industrial processes operate at elevated temperatures where conventional Raman measurements are limited by thermal emission and background radiation.

Timegated Raman enables reliable measurements in high-temperature environments by separating the Raman signal from background emission, making it suitable for processes operating at temperatures from several hundred degrees up to extreme conditions.

This opens new possibilities for in-situ process monitoring in applications such as:

  • High-temperature chemical reactions
  • Battery and energy materials processing
  • Catalysis and thermal treatment processes
  • Advanced materials manufacturing
