Discover how sensXPERT's FlexCure technology is revolutionizing
manufacturing with real-time material insights and sustainability
at its core
I am the LinkedIn Group Community Manager of Composites
Lounge and interviewed the CEO of sensXPERT -
Optimizing Plastics Manufacturing Dr. Alexander
Chaloupka and his sales engineer Arne
Büttner while demonstrating a sensor test powered by AI
with chocolate.
The sensXPERT FlexCure system is an advanced enhancement of
dielectric analysis technology designed for flexible and diverse
manufacturing environments. Unlike traditional systems that
require closed mold processes, FlexCure can be implemented in
open mold productions, vacuum infusion, autoclave curing,
continuous manufacturing, filament winding, and oven curing. This
flexibility allows it to measure through air and the thickness of
components, monitoring cure behavior and flow behavior in
real-time. This technology is particularly beneficial in
industries such as hydrogen vessel manufacturing, filament
winding, and tape manufacturing, where it helps in assessing the
curing, pre-curing, and aging of materials[1].
Dielectric analysis is a technique used to measure the electrical
properties of materials. It involves applying an oscillating AC
electrical field to a material and measuring its capacitance and
conductance. These measurements help determine how the material's
molecular structure changes over time, temperature, and
frequency. Essentially, dielectric analysis provides insights
into the material's behavior during processes like curing,
allowing manufacturers to optimize production, reduce waste, and
ensure quality [2] [3].
Arne Büttner demonstrates the sensXPERT FlexCure system using a
piece of chocolate to showcase its capabilities during the JEC
World 2025 show. The system can analyze materials through various
barriers, such as boxes and foils, by sending radiation
frequencies through the material. This technology is applicable
in composites manufacturing, where it can measure through vacuum
bags and other barriers. During the demonstration, the system
successfully identified marzipan inside the chocolate,
illustrating its precision in detecting material structures and
molecular compositions.
On a final note: Congratulations to sensXPERT for winning the
"Product of the Year 2025" award from KUNSTSTOFF
MAGAZIN! This recognition, voted by the magazine's
readers, highlights the significant impact of your innovative
solutions in reducing cycle times, scrap rates, energy
consumption, and CO2 footprints.
Well done to Alexander Chaloupka and the entire sensXPERT team
for this outstanding achievement!
