Goodbye Downtime: How Real-Time Spectroscopy Boosts Safety & Efficiency
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we’re exploring the future of real-time process monitoring with a spotlight on Metrohm’s 2060 RISE, a high-tech Raman spectrometer designed to deliver lab-quality analysis directly within production environments. As industries grapple with growing demands for efficiency, safety and compliance, the ability to monitor materials in real time, without sending samples to a lab, is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
Joining host Dave Howell, is Paul Hamilton, Business Manager for Metrohm Process Analytics in the UK, to break down why Raman spectroscopy is proving to be a game-changer for complex processes, from pharma to petrochemicals. We’ll explore how 2060 RISE helps identify materials, detect impurities and streamline operations, all while reducing downtime and boosting productivity.
Together, we’ll also uncover the origins of this breakthrough instrument, what makes it uniquely suited for integration in hazardous and high-throughput environments and why many in the industry are saying: “Why didn’t this exist 10 years ago?”
Whether you're a process engineer, a compliance lead, or simply someone passionate about smart technology and safer operations, this conversation will show how Raman spectroscopy and 2060 RISE in particular, is reshaping the future of process analysis.
Topics include:
- How Raman spectroscopy differs from more traditional analytical tools and its unique advantages
- How 2060 RISE operates
- Examples where inline verification using 2060 RISE prevents major safety, quality, or compliance failures
- Cultural or operational barriers organisations face relying on fully automated, operator free sensing technology
- How tools like 2060 RISE help companies meet sustainability goals and environmental regulations
- How modern sensor technology supports a more proactive and resilient process safety culture
- How real-time Raman monitoring shifts industrial workflows from reactive troubleshooting to predictive and preventative control
- How process analytical technology is evolving
- The biggest misconception engineers or managers have about process safety in the age of automation and intelligent sensing
