What is this new scanner we have? Meet Mars, our new inline X-ray scanner. It connects right onto an existing factory conveyor belt, doesn't need any fixturing, and moves at up to 2.5 ft per second. Every scan uploads to Voyager, which keeps a record of every unit that's gone https://t.co/KDTZsyvxOU
