SmartComp is an advanced material identification module that matches chemical composition data into verified material grades, standards, properties, and global equivalents. By comparing spectrometer results against over 300,000 materials, SmartComp enables fast, traceable, and expert-level material identification across global standards.

The Material Identification Challenge


Spectrometers deliver chemical analysis in seconds, yet grade identification remains slow and uncertain during inspection, supply quality verification, and reverse engineering of legacy and competitor materials. Engineers and quality teams must manually interpret composition tables, compare multiple standards, and rely on expert judgment to determine material identity which often leads to inconclusive matches, missed equivalents, or costly errors.
