More about Hannes Plinte

GScan ART technology is developed in cooperation with scientific research institutions KBFI, iCV Lab, Tartu University.

We started our research to find new technologies to solve a complex task: streamlining and automating cargo customs at border control facilities.

In an astonishingly short time of just two years we achieved what was believed to be impossible, whilst leapfrogging way ahead of competition. Light-years ahead.
Our ART technology is the most accurate, most versatile and fastest muon tomography system in the world.

The GScan ART technology stack integrates the most advanced muon detection hardware with the most comprehensive data analysis software layer.
GScan’s technology can detect elements from all corners of the periodic table.

Our system is highly scalable and flexible. Single panels can be used to scan small objects, or assembled into arrays the size of buildings and shapes as needed.
With a strong base of fundamental and information sciences, a highly modern manufacturing industry, coupled with high work ethics, thoroughness, and getting things done smartly, Estonia has a strong competitive edge as a location for developing such a complex technology.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
