Hi Chris,
I run a small supplement company and am definitely interested in using this device in manufacturing, shipping/receiving, etc. Though I cannot pretend to know much about the SCIO and how it works, I assume that it’d be relatively easy to create a profile of certain herbs based on scans you’ve done on several samples. Then you’d be able to cross reference new scans to a generally reliable profile you’ve created on those herbs in the past.
I’m not sure how easy it would be to create a program to recognize an herb from thousands of herbs, but I imagine it would be easier to use the SCIO to confirm identity rather than determine identity.
