Abstract: Described herein is a communication system including a cloud server, a first server, and at least one second server. The first server includes a first communication interface configured to provide reference spectral information referring to at least one reference sample and reference analytical data to the cloud server. Each second server includes a second communication interface configured to provide spectral information related to at least one substance to the cloud server. The cloud server is configured to: generate a calibration model, where the calibration model comprises at least one parameter; apply the calibration model to the spectral information, whereby at least one value for the at least one parameter is extracted; and provide the at least one value for the at least one parameter to the first server. The first server is further configured to determine treatment data using the at least one value for the at least one parameter.
