Southern Innovation develops, markets and licenses patented digital pulse processing algorithms for the rapid, accurate detection and measurement of radiation for non-invasive characterisation of materials. The company was born out of research to review suitable technologies for the accurate and rapid detection of legacy landmines.There have been significant advances in radiation detector materials and technology in recent years, however, many detectors are still limited by detector pulse processing electronics and software. Southern Innovation's SITORO® digital pulse processing technology enables real-time pulse processing at unprecedented levels of speed and accuracy, eliminating many challenges faced by conventional digital pulse processors.Southern Innovation's SITORO® pulse processing technology dramatically improves the speed, sensitivity and resolution of materials characterisation in a range of industries, including: materials analysis & microscopy; baggage and freight security screening and logistics; borehole logging for resource exploration; mine management & mineral processing; medical imaging; and pathology.
