Talk:Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis

I will be adding some history of the company shortly, I hope that other editors will help to make sure that it does not sound like promotion, that is a fairly common problem with covering the histories of companies. SoftwareThing (talk) 17:45, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

I added some text, slight redundancy over what was there but added some details, hopefully neutral enough that it avoid a tone of promotion. SoftwareThing (talk) 23:59, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

It might be useful to provide a list of offices around the world. That seems like more work than I'm willing to do, though. SoftwareThing (talk) 23:58, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

There are still "citation needed" here and there, and some of the obsolete things needed to be removed without replacing them with suitable links. Finding time and motivation to update the page is lacking. :) SoftwareThing (talk) 17:06, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Summarize Timeline Fact Check

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Disclosure: I am affiliated with Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis and am proposing updates to this article to reflect the company’s current structure and product offerings following the 2022 merger of SpectraSensors and Kaiser Optical Systems. I will not edit the article directly and welcome feedback from independent editors.

Proposed Updates:

1. Lead Section Current: Focuses only on SpectraSensors and gas analysis.

Suggested:

“Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Endress+Hauser Group, formed in 2022 through the merger of SpectraSensors, Inc. and Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc. The company specializes in Raman spectroscopy, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), and quenched fluorescence (QF) technologies for laboratory and process environments. Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it serves industries including pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil & gas, power & energy, and food & beverage.”

2.  Infobox Update Request Suggested:

I’d also like to propose updating the company infobox to reflect the current structure of Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis. Suggested fields:

• Company type: Private
• Industry: Instrumentation, Process Automation
• Founded: 2022
• Areas served: Worldwide
• Headquarters: Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
• Products: Analyzer systems
• Number of employees: 200
• Website: https://www.endress.com/en

These updates reflect the merger of SpectraSensors and Kaiser Optical Systems into Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis in 2022 and align with the company’s current public-facing information.

3.  Products Section Suggested addition:

“The company’s Raman spectroscopy systems, based on Kaiser Raman technology, enable real-time chemical composition analysis in solids, liquids, and gases. Its TDLAS and QF analyzers, based on SpectraSensors technology, are used in natural gas pipelines, natural gas processing and LNG plants, refineries, and petrochemical processes to detect trace contaminants such as moisture (H₂O), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO₂), and oxygen (O₂).”

4. History Section Suggested addition:

“SpectraSensors and Kaiser Optical Systems were acquired by Endress+Hauser in 2012 and 2013, respectively. On January 1, 2022, the two entities merged to form Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis, consolidating expertise in optical analysis-based measurement technologies. The merger was announced in Control Design and CPECN.”

5. Offices Suggested addition:

“Endress+Hauser Optical Analysis operates facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan (Raman systems), Rancho Cucamonga, California (TDLAS/QF), Pearland, Texas, and Freiburg, Germany.”
