SmartComp

SmartComp, the add-on module from Total Materia, allows intelligent metal identification using chemical compositions obtained from a spectrometer or other analytical sources.

Using a patented algorithm, SmartComp can eliminate a significant amount of time dedicated to research and increases the efficiency and functionality of laboratory and inspection business activities by enabling fast, multi-criteria material identification. Owing to its integration with Total Materia, material property details and cross-referencing can be viewed in seconds and compared with other alternatives if needed.

The Challenges

• Carrying out complex material identification studies based solely on chemical composition, as a highly experienced expert would.

• Reducing thousands of hours spent in research to identify materials, which is sometimes in vain.

• Driving down high costs associated with acquiring specifications and standards.

• Minimizing rework and scrap in the manufacturing environment through effective root cause identification of plant process errors.

The Solution: Total Materia - SmartComp

The new generation of spectrometers can generate a material chemical analysis in seconds, but how do you identify other critical information about the material, such as its grade, origin, properties, and equivalents? Starting from a simple chemical analysis obtained from a spectrometer, and using a patented algorithm, SmartComp is able to identify matching grades from around the world, dramatically increasing the usability of the analysis and enhancing the overall functionality of the laboratory.
