Problem
Serino addresses the lack of real-time chemical quality intelligence across food and agricultural value chains, from harvest and storage to processing. Because quality decisions are often made with delayed or incomplete information, companies incur major losses through waste, inconsistent grading, and inefficient process control.Lösung
Serino's solution is an AI-powered, quantum dot-based SWIR sensor platform that enables powerful chemical analysis in a compact, cost-effective material analyser. Using proprietary printable quantum-dot inks, Serino fabricates SWIR photodetector arrays that are compatible with standard CMOS readout electronics, enabling fast measurements in small form factors at a fraction of the cost of conventional IR instruments. The printing-based approach is designed for high-volume manufacturing and in-line/at-line deployment, providing real-time quality monitoring where decisions are made.Produkt
Serino’s products include printed quantum-dot infrared sensors and the Q-Scan material analyzer. The printed sensors are SWIR photodetector arrays manufactured using proprietary quantum-dot inks and printing-compatible processes, delivering compact, scalable, and cost-efficient infrared detection.Alleinstellung
Serino’s key USPs are its printable quantum-dot SWIR sensor technology and the ability to translate infrared sensing into compact, cost-efficient, and scalable products. Using proprietary quantum-dot inks and printing-compatible processes, Serino manufactures CMOS-compatible SWIR photodetector arrays designed for high-volume production and straightforward integration into existing electronics. A further differentiator is the platform’s wavelength tunability: by engineering the quantum dots and ink formulation, Serino can customize the spectral response to specific application needs, enabling tailored sensing solutions while keeping the hardware footprint small and manufacturable.Geschäftsmodell
Serino follows a B2B model built around its printed quantum-dot SWIR sensor platform. The company commercializes the technology in two ways: (1) by selling printed SWIR sensor components/modules to OEMs and system integrators, and (2) by offering the Q-Scan material analyzer as a turnkey device for end users who want immediate measurement capability.Highlights
- Printed SWIR/IR sensors based on quantum-dot inks
- CMOS-compatible photodetector arrays for straightforward ROIC integration
- Wavelength-tunable response via quantum-dot engineering (application-specific spectral tailoring)
- Compact, lightweight form factor enabling handheld, inline, or embedded use
- Low-cost, scalable manufacturing through printing-compatible processes (path to high volume)
- Fast, non-destructive measurements for real-time material/quality assessment+++
Team
Serino is a team that combines scientific leadership with hands-on engineering, with expertise in quantum dot design and synthesis, semiconductor ink formulation, printing-compatible materials, and thin-film infrared sensor development. Backed by an extended network of advisors across academia, printing, and applied R&D, Serino accelerates the path from lab innovation to scalable products.Call to Action: Productize Q-Scan into a Field-Ready Handheld + SaaS Platform
Serino is looking for a strategic partner to accelerate two high-impact development tracks: (1) Q-Scan Handheld—evolving our lab prototype into a robust, field-ready handheld device, including industrial design, electronics/optics integration, and a SaaS app for measurement workflows, device management, and reporting. In parallel, we will expand the chemical database and train application-specific models so Q-Scan reliably quantifies targeted compounds in real-world conditions.
