The document describes Thruvision, a patented people-screening camera that uses terahertz technology to detect any concealed items under a person's clothing in 12 seconds without physical searches. It discusses how Thruvision provides fast, safe screening of employees to reduce theft in retail and distribution facilities by detecting items as small as 5cm^2 that metal detectors cannot find. The document presents a case study of a UK retailer that saw an 80% reduction in monthly losses and a ten-fold return on investment in the first year after deploying Thruvision to screen all employees.
