FOSS is the leading global provider of analytics for the food and agricultural industries. The company helps producers maximise the value of their production while making the best possible use of valuable natural resources. Value for the customer and value for the environment go hand in hand. For instance, FOSS analytics measure the level of protein in dairy products, scan meat to determine fat contents and check for unwanted objects such as bone splinters, measure sugar levels in grapes, the moisture in grain, and help decide whether the cow gets the right feed, is healthy, and produces good and nutritious milk. Always at the forefront of analytical technology development, FOSS provides a range of analytical solutions from laboratory to at-line and in-line solutions. Across a number of industries, FOSS helps optimise the use of food and agricultural resources around the world. This is achieved by enabling customers to run intelligent data-driven productions, based on fast, easy-to-use and dedicated analytics, in an approach referred to as SmartAnalytics. FOSS covers these food and agricultural industries: Dairy, Feed and Forage, Grain, Flour Milling & Oilseed Processing, Laboratories, Meat, Raw Milk Testing and Wine. The company uses many different technologies, such as flow cytometry, FTIR, NIR, Dumas combustion, X-ray, Kjeldahl distillation and Falling Number. Its solutions are implemented and developed with the newest software technologies. FOSS solutions provide a wealth of data and therefore contain sophisticated data analysis algorithms. This means the company maintains large teams of skilled data scientists, chemometricians and software developers implementing these methods.
