Data Collection & Proof-of-Concept Studies Providing Actionable Insights

Our data collection and proof-of-concept study services are designed to transform your innovative ideas into validated, data-driven solutions. 

We collaborate closely with your team to define clear technical objectives, success criteria, and testing conditions before capturing high-quality datasets using advanced imaging technologies. Whether in a controlled environment or real-world production setting, our approach ensures the data accurately reflects your application challenges.

Through detailed analysis and performance evaluation, we assess feasibility, system capabilities, and potential limitations early in the development process. The result is clear, actionable insight that supports confident decision-making, accelerates development timelines, and reduces technical and financial risk, providing a solid foundation for scaling from concept to full deployment.

High-Quality Data Collection Services

Our high-quality data collection services are designed to deliver reliable, application-specific datasets that form the foundation of successful imaging and inspection solutions. 

We work closely with your team to understand your goals, samples and operating conditions, then design a structured data collection plan that ensures consistency, repeatability, and relevance. Using advanced imaging technologies and proven methodologies, we capture data that accurately represents real-world variability and performance requirements.

To provide maximum flexibility, customers can choose the data collection approach that best fits their needs. You may send your samples directly to Channel Systems, where imaging is performed at our facility using carefully controlled setups and calibrated systems. Alternatively, our experts can travel onsite to collect data within your production or operational environment, ensuring conditions such as lighting, set-up, and environmental factors are fully represented. In both cases, the result is high-quality, well-documented data that supports confident analysis, proof-of-concept studies, and downstream system development.

Proof-of-Concept & Feasibility Studies

Building on our data collection services, our proof-of-concept and feasibility studies take customers to the next step by analyzing collected data and evaluating solution performance against your specific goals. 

Before committing to a full-scale imaging deployment, these studies allow you to assess system capabilities, validate imaging approaches, and demonstrate measurable results under conditions that reflect your real-world application.

We work with you to determine the optimal system configuration, illumination setup, and processing workflow tailored to your needs—whether for material identification, quality inspection, process monitoring, or research. By combining expert analysis with practical testing, our Proof-of-Concept Studies identify potential limitations, confirm feasibility, and provide actionable recommendations, helping you make informed decisions, reduce risk, and accelerate development timelines from concept to full implementation.
