Portable NIR analyser
Hone Lab Red
Moisture, protein and oil at the point of receival, in the paddock, on the header or at the silo. A result in about 40 seconds. IP67-rated, 0.7 kg.
Instruments
Measurement instruments we design, build and support
Every Hone instrument is designed, calibrated and supported by the same team in Newcastle, and built by our manufacturing partners. Buy one off the shelf, or have one adapted to a measurement problem we have not met yet.
Raman research instrument
Hone Lab Black
A 1064 nm Raman spectrometer for liquids: water, oils, wine and beer. Transportable, cuvette-based, and driven from a desktop application.
Delivered as a service by Hone Carbon
Soil carbon measurement
Compliant soil organic carbon measurement at project scale. Field sampling with full chain of custody, NIR analysis at our accredited Broadmeadow laboratory, and CER-compliant reporting.
Behind every instrument
The hardware is only part of it. Hone Create builds the models that classify commodity properties from the spectra, and Hone Foundation carries the results back to you. Together, that is what turns light into a number you can act on.
The Hone Platform
Instruments, Hone Create and Hone Foundation, and how the three layers fit together.
Explore the platform →Applications
What Hone measures in production today, and what it could measure for you.
See applications →The team behind them
The same engineers take other companies' products from prototype to production.
Engineering services →Adapting one to your application
Every custom build starts from an instrument that has already survived seasons in the field, not from a blank sheet. Optics, electronics, firmware and machine learning are in one building, so the instrument is changed to suit the job rather than the other way round.
01
Understand
Your measurement problem, your samples and the conditions the instrument will live in.
02
Adapt
Proven hardware modified to the application, whether that is the optics, the sampling or the housing.
03
Calibrate
Models built against laboratory references and validated before anything ships.
04
Deploy and support
We train your team, watch performance in the field and keep improving the models.
