AMA Innovation Award 2019 for compact Plan B analyzer
The AMA Association for Sensor and Measurement Technology (AMA) awarded the AMA Innovation Prize 2019 to the founding team of Senorics GmbH on June 25 at the SENSOR+TEST in Nuremberg. The newly developed, compact analysis device 'Plan B' convinced the jury twice.

Plan B' wins the AMA Innovation Award 2019 and is already winner of the AMA Special Award 'Young Company'. The development team consisting of Robert Brückner, Matthias Jahnel, Robert Langer and Ronny Timmreck from Senorics GmbH received a free booth at the SENSOR+TEST and the AMA Innovation Award 2019 endowed with 10.000 Euro.
The double award-winning analysis technique makes it possible to prove whether and which ingredients are present in what quantity after a light beam of a certain spectral range has been transmitted and measured through solid or liquid matter. This approach convinced the jury. "The scientifically convincing 'Plan B' solution enables mobile quality assurance through the detection of ingredients and compositions of industrial raw materials or foodstuffs, especially beer. The jury agrees that this solution approach with clear market relevance clearly stands out from the 38 submissions this year," says jury chairman Professor Andreas Schütze of Saarland University, explaining this year's decision.
Senorics 'Plan B' is a compact analyser for small breweries (craft breweries), which offers a fast and non-contact method to determine the sugar and alcohol content in beer along the entire brewing process with the aim of optimisation and quality improvement. The technological basis for 'Plan B' is provided by Senoric's novel spectrally selective and miniaturizable detectors with which the measuring method NIR spectroscopy can be transferred from the laboratory to mass applications. The technology is thus a platform for the detection of ingredients and compositions of industrial raw materials, agricultural products or foodstuffs for mobile quality assurance. The winning team presented its two award-winning development at the SENSOR+TEST 2019 in Nuremberg.
The AMA Association has been awarding the AMA Innovation Prize for 19 years and publishes the brochure 'AMA Innovation Prize 2019 - The Applicants', which provides an overview of all evaluated submissions in 2019. This year, from 38 national and international submissions, three further developments were nominated as outstanding:
HoloPort - Interferometer for the machine tool
Tobias Seyler, Johannes Engler from the Fraunhofer IPM Institute in Freiburg
Calculation core for machine learning embedded in a 6-axis
inertial measuring unit Marco Leo, Alessandra Rizzo, Andrea Donadel, Marco Castellano, Rossella Bassoli, Alessia Cagidiaco,Alessandro Locardi, Paolo Rosingana, Carlo Crippa from STMicroelectronics in Cornaredo/Italy
XperYenZ™ - fiber optic sensor for absolute distance measurement
Celal Mohan Ögün, Robert Send, Christopher Hahne, Bernd Scherwath, Michael Eberspach, Jonas Rahlf, Michael Uptmoor from trinamiX GmbH in Ludwigshafen, Germany
The AMA Innovation Award 2020 will be announced in October 2019. Individuals or development teams from companies and institutes in Germany and abroad can apply. Brochure AMA Innovation Award 2019 with all projects
