EMERYVILLE, CALIFORNIA ─ May 20, 2025: 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 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 Mc Donogh, Hinalea’s CEO. “We are confident that our solution will deliver improved performance and increased economy to end-customers across the United States.”
