Glimpse Aims to Revolutionize Quality Control with Faster CT Scanning for Hardware Manufacturers
Glimpse is developing technology that enables hardware manufacturers to inspect critical components using computed tomography (CT) scans at significantly faster speeds. The startup claims its software can boost throughput on existing CT scanners by up to 30 times, allowing battery makers and other industries to scan tens of thousands of parts per day instead of just a few. This advancement could help prevent costly recalls like the one that affected Chevrolet Bolts due to faulty batteries from LG. Glimpse is also launching a new product called Explore, which will allow companies in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices sectors to use its image processing software for quality control checks using CT scanners. The company currently serves over 100 clients including Anker, Lucid, and the U.S. Navy, generating revenue in the mid-seven-figure range. The startup’s solution uses deep learning algorithms and edge computing to compress scans and deliver clear images quickly through a web-based dashboard. For companies without CT scanners, Glimpse offers scanning services from its Boston facility with plans for an additional center in San Francisco.
