Transforming High Spectral Data Capture and Usage
At Agate Sensors, we have always believed that the future of technology is shaped by bold ideas and passionate innovators. Our journey began in 2022 with a vision to transform how, where, why, and when we utilize high spectral and spatial digital imaging technologies. We are aiming to make this laboratory-grade technology accessible and available to everyone, to provide insights and information beyond what is visible to the human eye.
Agate Sensors develops technology to capture and use full-spectrum images, providing insights and information beyond what is visible to the human eye. Founded in 2024 with a mission to transform digital imaging, Agate Sensors, which is based in Finland, aims to make spectral data available and accessible to everyone.
Mikael Westerlund, CEO, Entrepreneur and Business Development Executive for Agate Sensors, stated:
"The inspiration for Agate Sensors stems from a desire to make spectral imaging technology accessible to all by miniaturizing what was once a suitcase-sized lab equipment into tiny pixel-sized technology. It's amazing to think that this technology has been a decade in the making. The outcome of our efforts is not just in capturing better quality data, but in the better decisions and advancements the technology enables."
The technology is already having a far-reaching impact, with Agate Sensors’ work in advancing spectral data applications paving the way for new possibilities for leading-edge Arm-based technologies across various sectors, including consumer technology, industrial IoT, and automotive.
"Our technology offers benefits when deployed in a number of key markets, from smart wearables that offer granular health monitoring, drones that help improve agricultural efficiency, and even in autonomous vehicles where safety is paramount," Mikael added. "Through making the technology simple, we are providing far more capabilities for everyone!"
