Mastering the Versatility of Industrial Hemp: A Data-Driven Approach

Updated: Dec 22, 2025

1. The Challenge: A Plant with Limitless Variables

In the world of agricultural commodities, few crops present as much complexity or opportunity as Industrial Hemp. Unlike standard grains, hemp is a multi-use crop where every part of the plant holds distinct value.

For an analytics company, this presents a unique challenge: How do you create a unified standard of quality for a plant that serves industries ranging from food to construction?


2. Strategic Collaboration and Standardization

Our entry into this sector was driven by a need for rigorous measurement. We were introduced to the specific demands of this crop by IND Hemp, a leader in the supply chain.

However, meaningful innovation requires industry-wide consensus. To ensure our methods aligned with global standards, we expanded our network to include:

  • Academic Partners: Leading universities researching hemp agronomy.

  • Regulatory Bodies: The ASTM Industrial Hemp Task Group.

  • Private Sector Innovators: Forward-thinking companies demanding higher quality control.


3. Agile Innovation: A Platform That Evolves with You

What sets Vibe Imaging Analytics apart is not just the hardware, but our responsiveness. The Vibe QM3i was designed as a versatile platform, not a static tool.

Our software architecture allows for rapid adaptation. When forward-thinking customers push for new metrics whether it is analyzing the geometry of milled hurd or the purity of hemp protein we respond. We are constantly developing new algorithms and updating our capabilities. This agility ensures that as your product lines expand, our instrument improves right alongside them.


4. Current Applications: A Holistic Solution

Today, our technology is no longer limited to basic grain analysis. Thanks to this continuous development, the Vibe QM3i is now deployed across the industrial hemp industry to analyze seven distinct product categories:

  1. Hemp Seeds: Determining size, count, and purity.

  2. Hemp Hearts: Analyzing de-hulled quality.

  3. Hemp Milled Hurd: Assessing particle size for construction and bedding.

  4. Hemp Fiber: Quality checks for textiles and composites.

  5. Hemp Oil: Visual inspection of inputs.

  6. Hemp Meal: Consistency for animal feed and soil amendments.

  7. Hemp Protein: Ensuring purity in food ingredients.


Conclusion: Fueling Industry Growth

Industrial hemp is more than just a crop; it is a complex supply chain that requires precise data to scale.

We are proud to play a role in this ecosystem, helping producers measure, improve, and grow with confidence. By providing accurate analysis from the seed to the finished protein powder, we ensure the transparency the market demands.
