WeNetShip

A web service which provides cross border shipping and customs options through integrated business solutions by offering a direct path into the Canadian market from anywhere within the United States. Product crosses the border hassle free with no surprises and with no need for overseeing or managing the process. Shipments from the US to Canada become domestic in nature.

Terrax - Real Time Security Early Detection Systems

SOWIS System

Terrax has software systems and technology yielding an imaging system consisting of cameras, image processors and network which yield a hyperspectral real time image capture and decoding system for civilian applications.  Learn more >

Thermal Detection

Detection of fever has become an essential step in identifying persons who may have severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or other infectious viral threats (H1N1). Terrax infrared thermography (IRT) provides early real time detection for close proximity screening requirements. Learn more >

Agricultural Solutions

Remote sensing (RS) has shown to be an important tool for precision agriculture. For agricultural context, remote sensing (RS) refers to any kind of imagery taken from above a field. Terrax has found different methods that RS can be utilized to aid decision-making, such as, early recognition of crop performance or stresses. Learn more >

Background – Hyperspectral Imaging

Hyperspectral ImageHyperspectral imaging collects and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Can see visible light as well as from the ultraviolet to infrared.

Certain objects leave unique ‘fingerprints’ across the electromagnetic spectrum.

These ‘fingerprints’ are known as spectral signatures and enable identification of the materials that make up a scanned object.

Applications for “hyperspectral imaging” range from agricultural to security for surface detection.

Additional background on “hyerspectral imaging” can be found on Wikipedia.  Learn More >
