The CORIS360® is a groundbreaking radiation imaging device designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and operational decision-making in radioactive environments. Launched in 2020 after seven years of development, the device employs compressed sensing technology for fast, precise, and high-quality 360° imaging. It is transforming applications in nuclear security, border monitoring, and reactor decommissioning.
Hydrix assisted ANSTO to refine the CORIS360® from a technical concept to a robust, user-friendly commercial product, delivering key innovations:
- Ergonomic Design: Developed a cylindrical form that mirrors internal mask geometry, incorporating a unique handle design for both intuitive operation and easy detector module access.
- User Interface: We helped develop a graphical interface overlaying radiation data on optical visuals, making complex information accessible to non-experts.
- Software Integration: Supported the integration of compressed sensing technology to enhance processing speed and imaging accuracy.
- Thermal Engineering: Optimized thermal design for reliable operation across diverse environments.
- Manufacturing Guidance: Provided expertise to streamline production processes for cost-efficiency and quality.
It was a pleasure to collaborate with the Hydrix team on the development of the CORIS360. They assisted our engineers to refine what was a technical concept into a commercial product. Their involvement was critical in creating a product that is now designed with the user in mind, from deployment through to device operation. Hydrix has helped ANSTO realize its first commercial product, and one that we are proud to take to market.”
