Brighton Science (Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.) showcases how manufacturers can take control of adhesion-critical processes with precision, speed and intelligence. A global surface quality inspection company, Brighton says it delivers powerful solutions that eliminate guesswork and variability from composites cleaning, bonding, sealing, painting and coating operations.
Surface Analyst, a tool built on Brighton’s patented ballistic deposition technology, is available for in-person viewing. This portable, nondestructive system performs water contact angle (WCA) measurements in under 3 sec, giving manufacturers instant, objective insight into the molecular surface state of real parts, not just coupons. Unlike legacy methods such as water break tests, dyne pens or lab goniometers, the Surface Analyst provides repeatable, data-rich results directly on the production floor or in the field.
Brighton Science also spotlights BConnect, a cloud-based platform that turns surface measurement into a connected intelligence network. BConnect enables plant managers, quality teams and supply chain stakeholders to monitor surface readiness in real time, share specifications across locations and respond to issues instantly. From automated lines to supplier audits, BConnect empowers manufacturers to identify trends, prevent defects and drive process improvements through surface intelligence.
For operators looking to scale quality efforts, Brighton offers automation-ready integration — bringing WCA inspection into inline processes without disrupting production. And for teams ready to build internal expertise, Brighton Academy provides comprehensive training and support to ensure users at all technical levels can confidently operate and interpret data from its systems.
