PRESS RELEASE
EMERYVILLE, Calif. ─ Hinalea Imaging Corp. and Eclipse Screening Technologies announced today an exclusive collaboration to advance Eclipse’s bespoke system that automates the detection and presumptive identification of drug-laced mail, entering correctional facilities across the United States.
Eclipse is a national leader in mail screening technology, with its patented VeroVision® Mail Screener installed in more than 100 jails and prisons nationwide. The company recently launched Mail Screener+, a faster and more powerful version of their product, the only image-based technology capable of detecting and presumptively identifying drugs smuggled through postal mail. Eclipse’s VeroVision products play a critical role in disrupting drug currency and combatting drug trafficking and abuse.
Hinalea is a market leader in intelligent inspection solutions deployed through its AI-enabled, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) platform. Hinalea utilizes this platform to generate rich data sets of spectral and spatial information that can be translated in real-time to actionable intelligence, utilizing deep machine learning models. Eclipse has chosen to partner with Hinalea to develop VeroVision Mail Screener+.
“Hinalea’s technology is significantly differentiated vs traditional line-scanning HSI systems, allowing for high fidelity spectral and spatial resolution in a portable and economic form factor,” said Rebecca Schuler, Eclipse’s COO. “Eclipse characterizes this output against known inspection criteria in order to enhance and automate inspection.”
“Eclipse is a recognized leader in the mail screening space. We are thrilled to be working with the Eclipse team to develop their next-generation inspection platform,” said Barry McDonogh, Hinalea’s CEO. “We are confident that our solution will deliver improved performance and increased economy to end-customers across the United States.”
