Real-Time Measurement Technology for Industrial Process Optimization
Inray develops real-time measurement systems for the energy industry, biorefineries, pulp mills, and the recycling sector. Our solutions help customers improve process efficiency, optimize fuel quality, reduce downtime, and make better operational decisions based on real-time measurement data.
Founded in 2009, Inray is headquartered in Mikkeli, Finland. We design and develop both our measurement systems and software in-house, ensuring complete control over product quality, innovation, and continuous development.
Expertise
Our solutions combine X-ray measurement technology, machine vision, industrial software, and process data analytics. By integrating these technologies, we enable real-time measurement of material flows in applications where traditional sampling and laboratory analysis have long been the only available methods.
Our systems are used for:
- Biofuel quality management
- Biomass moisture measurement
- Foreign object detection
- Fuel storage management
- Measurement of recycled and secondary raw materials
Industrial Solutions
Every Inray solution has been developed in close cooperation with industrial customers and tested in demanding operating environments.
Our goal is simple: provide measurement data that can be used immediately to improve plant operation, process control, and decision-making.
Today, our systems are installed in demanding industrial facilities across Finland and internationally, serving leading companies in the energy and forest industries.
