The Hone Platform
One platform, from sample to decision
A range of instruments, the electronics and firmware inside them, Hone Create where the models that classify commodity properties are built and validated, and Hone Foundation carrying results back to you. Built and supported by one engineering team, so the instrument, the model and the software always agree.
What we do
Ways to work with Hone
Hire the team, buy the instruments, or stand your connected product on the platform that already runs ours. Each is a separate way in, and they share one team.
Engineering services
Hire the team. Mechanical, electronics, firmware, industrial design, AI/ML and design for manufacture, from first sketch to first production run.
Engineering services →Instruments
Buy the instruments. Our own NIR and Raman analysers, designed, calibrated and supported in Newcastle, for grain, soil carbon and liquids.
The instrument range →Hone Foundation
Stand your connected product on the cloud platform that already runs ours, under your own name.
About Hone Foundation →How it fits together
Three layers, one team
01 · Instruments
Measurement in the field
A range of instruments built for where the decision is made: the Lab Red for grain in the paddock, the Lab Black for liquids on the bench. Designed in-house and built with our manufacturing partners, so they can be adapted when your application asks for something different.

02 · Hone Create
Where light becomes a property
Hone Create is the cloud environment for building and deploying analytical models. It is where our scientists train and validate the AI that classifies commodity properties like moisture, protein, oil and carbon. Every model is built on our own laboratory reference data and validated against it before it reaches an instrument, then keeps improving as more scans arrive.

03 · Foundation
Every device, one dashboard
Deploy models to your fleet, watch results arrive in real time, and export data into the systems you already use. Manage one device or a whole deployment from the same place, on Hone Foundation, the cloud infrastructure that keeps every customer’s data in its own isolated environment. It is also available for your own connected product.
