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

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
