# JYC Inc. (제이와이씨 주식회사)

> JYC is a hyperspectral AI company based in Busan, Korea. It builds Clarivue, a pre-service screening station that scans ingredients across 224 short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands (935–1720 nm), right before food preparation, uses spectral AI to flag unusual spectral responses, and stores traceable spectral evidence for every screening decision.

## Product: Clarivue

- A screening station placed at the prep line, the last point before cooking — after farm and factory testing, when food has kept changing.
- Captures each ingredient across 224 SWIR bands (935–1720 nm) with a Specim FX17e line-scan camera.
- Analyzes eight selected analysis channels with spectral AI to flag unusual spectral responses.
- Workflow: visual check → spectral scan → signal detection → localization and analysis → review decision.
- Supports Pass, Verify and Hold decisions. The operator makes the call; Clarivue supports it with stored spectral evidence.
- Every screening decision is stored with its spectral record and can be traced later.

## Applications

- Initial focus: supermarket prepared foods (deli, salad bars, ready-to-eat counters)
- Potential: catering services, school meals, hospital kitchens, airline catering, corporate cafeterias

## Research and data

- Hyperspectral food library with more than 50,500 spectral channel images across multiple foods (kale is the example shown on the website, captured under 13 storage and drying conditions).
- Research partners: National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (NIMS) Busan Center for Medical Mathematics (Korea); LSTME Busan, an affiliate institute of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany · Korea); TESA – Thai Embedded Systems Association (Thailand); ZanesGrowth (Thailand); Dongseo University (Busan, Korea); Gachon University (Seongnam, Korea); Burapha University (Chonburi, Thailand).
- Intellectual property: 26 IP assets — 6 company filings (3 trademark applications, 2 patent applications, 1 software registration) plus usage rights to 20 patents held by the founder.
- Certifications in progress: ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety); ISO/IEC 25024:2015 (data quality measurement of the spectral library).

## Team
