Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia – June 11, 2025 – IAS, a global leader in NIR spectroscopy, made a grand appearance at the prestigious Malaysia Palm Oil Expo (MAPEX 2025), held from June 11-12 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Exhibiting at Booth A130, IAS unveiled its innovative product suite tailored for the palm oil industry – the IAS-6100 Portable NIR Analyzer and the IAS-PAT L1M Online NIR Analyzer. These solutions demonstrated a new paradigm of efficient, precise, and intelligent detection, capturing significant attention at the event.

IAS-6100 Portable NIR Analyzer: On-the-Spot Testing, Informed DecisionsThe compact and portable IAS-6100 drew crowds at the IAS booth. Integrating advanced Digital Exposure Spectroscopy technology, it delivers exceptional sensitivity and accuracy within a streamlined design. Capable of rapid, non-destructive analysis in under two minutes, it provides critical insights into parameters vital for production quality and cost control. These include Free Fatty Acid (FFA), Moisture, DOBI, and Oil Content in samples such as Crude Palm Oil (CPO), Palm Kernels and production waste. Its versatility extends to various sample forms – fine particles, powders, flakes, and pastes – meeting rapid testing needs across the entire value chain, from raw material intake and production processes to final product inspection. By moving the testing window directly to the front lines, this portable solution eliminates the delays inherent in traditional lab testing, enabling immediate on-site decision-making, boosting efficiency, and optimizing resource allocation.

IAS-PAT L1M Online NIR Analyzer: Drive Efficiency, Control Production Intelligently
Addressing the industry's shift towards continuous and automated processing, IAS introduced its revolutionary IAS-PAT L1M Online Analyzer. More than just a detector, it acts as an intelligent engine for production: featuring enhanced thermal management, a modular design, rigorous pressure testing, and high-grade explosion-proof certification (Type IIB/IIC explosion-proof housing). Engineered for safe and stable operation in harsh industrial environments, it integrates directly into production lines for continuous, real-time monitoring. This eliminates the need for frequent, costly, and potentially hazardous manual sampling, enhancing worker safety. It empowers production managers with instant insights for precise process adjustments, consistent product quality, waste reduction, and ultimately, significant improvements in production efficiency and Return on Investment (ROI).

IAS Commitment to Industry Advancement
"Our presence at MAPEX 2025 underscores IAS's dedication to empowering the palm oil sector through technological innovation," stated an IAS representative at the event. "Sustainable growth hinges on efficiency and cutting-edge solutions. Deeply rooted in spectroscopy, our IAS-6100 and IAS-PAT L1M are purpose-built to address industry challenges. They represent a crucial shift from experience-based to data-driven methodologies, enabling smarter process control, stringent quality assurance, and optimized operational costs. We look forward to deepening collaborations with palm oil partners across Malaysia and globally to jointly advance the industry's digital and intelligent future."
