ProChem: Closing the Loop Between Measurement and Control

How ProChem software turns raw NIR spectra into real-time process control signals, complete batch records, and actionable quality data.

From Spectrum to Decision in Under 30 Seconds

The ProLine2550 hardware collects the NIR spectrum. ProChem is the software layer that transforms raw spectral data into composition values, compares them to specification limits, triggers alerts, archives results with full metadata, and delivers real-time signals to the plant PLC — all within the same 30-second measurement cycle, continuously, around the clock.

“ProChem transforms every NIR scan into actionable quality data — from raw spectrum to PLC control signal in under 30 seconds, 24/7.”

ProChem Function Overview

Function Description
Measurement ManagementConfigures ProLine2550, manages product profiles and calibration models, triggers automatic scanning
Real-Time MonitoringLive composition values with trend charts, configurable spec limit alerts, instant out-of-spec flagging
PLC AutomationHTTP interface over Ethernet — delivers results after every scan, accepts remote product/method switching
Data ManagementTimestamps and archives every measurement — CSV export for ERP/LIMS integration
ProChem ViewerRead-only monitoring on any networked workstation — included with both models

ProChem Viewer: Transparency Without Risk

ProChem Viewer extends visibility to supervisors and QC managers on any networked workstation. Read-only access prevents accidental configuration changes while providing full quality status transparency to every team member. Viewer is included with both ProLine2550 Advanced and Essential models at no additional charge.

“ProChem Viewer gives every stakeholder — from the plant floor to the corner office — real-time quality visibility without risk of accidental configuration changes.”
