The SmartSelect platform

The missing layer between sensor components and reliable measurements.

SmartSelect combines controlled sampling, Micro-GC-enabled molecular selectivity, sensor integration, measurement intelligence and system integration. Alivion configures the complete sensing chain around the target molecule, sample, operating environment and required decision.

  1. Technology components

    Sensors, separation elements, pumps, electronics and other building blocks.

  2. Alivion SmartSelect®

    Alivion combines and configures the complete sensing chain for the specific measurement challenge.

    • Controlled sampling
    • Molecular selectivity
    • Sensor integration
    • Measurement intelligence
    • System integration
  3. Partner product

    The sensing system is integrated into the partner’s product, platform or workflow. The partner leads commercialization and scaling.

From feasibility to deployment.

  1. Feasibility

    Evaluate the opportunity, validate the technical path and define success.

  2. Co-development

    Develop a tailored sensing solution around the partner’s requirements.

  3. Integration

    Integrate the sensing system into the partner’s product and workflow.

  4. Commercialization

    Launch the product and scale deployment through the partner’s market channels.

Engagements typically begin with paid feasibility and integration work, followed by platform licensing and deployment-linked royalties.

Company
