QA Integration and Data Workflows with PAL One
Integrate portable NIR spectroscopy data into existing QA, laboratory, recycling, and production workflows using the trinamiX Correlation App, Open API, and Customer Portal.
For material verification, incoming goods inspection, and material matching workflows, see Material Verification with Portable NIR.
Correlation Workflows with the trinamiX Correlation App
The Correlation App supports workflow-based comparison of samples against a defined reference spectrum using NIR spectral fingerprinting. The application is designed to help users document consistency, monitor variation, and generate comparable measurement records that can be integrated into broader QA processes.
What Is Spectral Correlation?
Spectral correlation is a statistical comparison between two NIR spectra. The method evaluates how closely a measured sample resembles a selected reference sample by calculating correlation metrics such as the Pearson correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination (R²).
Correlation results indicate spectral similarity but do not independently identify materials or verify specifications. For dedicated material verification workflows, refer to Material Verification with Portable NIR.
The Correlation App enables users to:
- Compare production samples against reference materials
- Monitor batch-to-batch variation
- Document spectral consistency across processes and locations
- Create repeatable comparison workflows for QA documentation
The application calculates both the Pearson correlation coefficient (R ) and coefficient of determination (R²) to quantify spectral similarity between measurements.
The trinamiX Open API enables integration of NIR measurement results, spectral data, and chemometric outputs into existing business and quality systems.
How Can NIR Data Be Integrated into QA Workflows?
NIR spectroscopy data can be transferred through APIs into ERP, LIMS, MES, laboratory databases, reporting systems, or custom software applications. This allows organizations to centralize measurement records, automate documentation, and connect spectral results with existing operational workflows.
The API supports workflow integration across laboratory, production, recycling, and quality management environments.
