Over thirty years experience

While Novus is a relatively young company, the product that we provide is based upon a substantial body of experience. Our founder and marketing director pioneered the automated X-ray inspection market over fifteen years ago and produced product that has captured a substantial segment of the worldwide market. Armed with the hindsight of developing three generations of inspection machines, Novus X-Ray LLC was formed to provide custom engineer and standard product to displace these older technologies.

Our latest image processing platform starts with the principles of tried-and-true Security Inspection X-ray machines, and to this we add our own proprietary software system, our high dynamic range X-ray detector, and acquisition electronics design specifically for automated inspection. One of our biggest contribution to this system is the addition of our self healing software running on the QNX operating system. This highly reliable system allows us to run our Hyper-Switch™ program, which in turn allows us to rapidly pursue software solutions for difficult applications utilizing our toolkit of highly developed and reliable image analysis tools.  The system is designed with an eye to inherent networking capabilities to totally integrate with other equipment and provide remote control/monitoring as well as process feedback control. The result is a remarkable inspection system with attributes not paralleled in the industry.

The founder of our company, David DiPrato, has been instrumental in the design of high-speed image analysis software for more than 25 years. David was R&D Director in two prior X-ray Inspection companies, and has a solid grounding in both the theoretical and the practical considerations of the task.

Our Market Director, Ken Bloomfield, also from a strong technical back ground has headed the creation of several successful companies. This includes one of the most successful companies specifically targeting automated X-ray inspection. Ken's lead has help managed X-ray technology through the tough stages of market awareness to a well know, and commonly accepted, technology for automated closed package inspection.

We are essentially a specialty engineering company, and as such we welcome projects that others may have turned down due to their difficulty.  Our core strength is our proprietary software that was designed for rapid scalability and utilizes a building block approach.  This designed-in high degree of flexibility allows us to provide a quotation in a remarkably short period of time.  We don't speculate that we can do the task, rather --  we assemble the building blocks and demonstrate that we can.

Contact us    even if you are just in the planning stage, or are simply wondering if X-ray Inspection could be of application in your plant.  There is no charge for discussion, and you may be pleasantly surprised as to how well we understand your needs and how well we can propose a solution.
