Holloid provides continuous, image-based monitoring that tells manufacturers what small particles and cells are doing inside production and bioreactors. The company combines digital holographic microscopy hardware with AI and machine learning software delivered as Industrial IoT devices plus a SaaS analytics platform to capture and classify particle morphology, motion, and interactions in real time. Their solution uses proprietary algorithms, high-performance web components, and Python-based pipelines to analyze holographic images and generate actionable process metrics. Holloid targets producers in food, pharmaceutical, and energy industries and supports automated process control and quality monitoring without specialized microscopy staff. The technology is based on a decade of research and protected by patents and other intellectual property.
