On this episode, your host Joe Dalton welcomes Joseph McMahon to talk about RialtoLabs, a company focused on utilizing underutilized technology.
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been around for a while, but the recent convergence of technologies such as cloud, and AI machine learning algorithms aligning with the increased quality and availability of handheld portable NIRS devices have opened up new possibilities for its field applications.
McMahon also discusses how NIRS can be integrated into a laboratory's workflow, which can reduce the use of toxic chemicals and consumables by 75%. Additionally, NIRS makes it easier to analyze soil health, which is critical in delivering ecosystem services. They discuss how the use of this technology can decrease a laboratory's overhead costs while also increasing its productivity and profitability.
The conversation then turns to RialtoLabs, McMahon talks about how the company was formed and how they are working to create an AI model that can provide accurate nutrient information analysis in real-time. They also discuss the potential for near-infrared spectroscopy in developing nations and other regions.
