Seattle-based ThruWave, a pioneer of 3D millimeter wave (mmWave) imaging for logistics and supply chain automation, has been named a finalist for the 2021 MHI Innovation Awards for its 3DmmWave Imaging system. Eight independent judges from the material handling and supply chain industry selected finalists in categories of best new innovation, best innovation of an existing product and best “It” innovation.

“Our unique 3D millimeter wave imaging system is the only high-throughput human-safe approach for seeing through opaque materials like corrugated boxes, plastic totes and even walls to identify objects, measure cube utilization, count items and detect missing or damaged items,” said Matt Reynolds, founder and chief scientist of ThruWave.

ThruWave’s patented 3D millimeter wave imaging technology provides manufacturing and supply chain operations with transformative technology to reduce operational cost and carbon footprint, improve quality control, safety and security as well as increase efficiency of capital investments in automation.
