Company Profile

Thruwave LLC develops 3D imaging technology with the defined objective being to make the invisible visible with human-safe millimeter waves. First developed at University of Washington, the firm's technology has applications in: Inventory Verification and Stock-Out Prevention, Incoming Shipment Verification, Wasteful Packaging Detection, Return Fraud Protection. ThruWave’s low-cost mmWave sensors for commercial and industrial applications use patent-pending radar signal processing innovations and GPU accelerated image reconstruction techniques. With sensors that are human-safe - can be installed alongside human workers without any shielding required - the firm's modular architecture enables mmWave sensors to be easily retrofitted to existing conveyor and robotic material handling systems. ThruWave’s sensors mount alongside conveyor belts and make 3D images of the items inside via antennas and what the company calls “compressive sensing.” Computer vision software can measure cube utilization, count items, and detect missing or damaged items. The system can automatically image and analyze up to 20,000 boxes pe
