Description: “SilentBorder” develops and validates an iteration of GScan’s revolutionary 3D-scanning system, focusing on objects with a maximum volume of 20ft sea containers. The large-scale system’s applications are predominantly in customs, security and frictionless trade. The goal is to develop a system that would be faster, safer, cost effective, easier to use and significantly more capable (precision, accuracy, additional features such as chemical analysis) than the currently used x-ray based solutions.
