What TEMcompany does

TEMcompany ApS is a privately held Danish geophysical technology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Åbyhøj, Denmark, with 11-50 employees. The company develops Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) scanners and companion software for non-invasive subsurface imaging, with primary applications in groundwater mapping, managed aquifer recharge, contamination assessment, permafrost research, dike safety evaluation, and mineral exploration. Its hardware portfolio spans four families: the stationary sTEM line (sTEM5/10/20, with profiler rig, reaching 500 m+ depth, 14.6 kg total weight), the towed continuous tTEM line (tTEM, SnowTEM, FloaTEM) for land and water-based large-area surveys, the portable backpack TEM2Go for challenging terrain, and the compact xTEM for deep-penetration mineral exploration. All scanners are operated via Android/iOS apps, and an integrated software suite (TEMimage for inversion and visualization on Windows/Mac, TEManalyze for survey planning, plus mobile apps) handles the full data workflow.

The company monetizes through hardware sales, software (described as subscription/recurring), and professional support services, with pricing provided on a quote basis via [email protected]. Go-to-market combines product-led simplicity (mobile-app control aimed at non-experts) with enterprise direct sales, event-driven lead generation (XIX World Water Congress, USK Consulting Africa webinars), and a global distributor and reseller channel. The customer base spans seven named segments - contractors and engineering firms, research institutes and universities, governmental organizations, the mining industry, NGOs, energy companies, and consultants - with documented deployments in Denmark, India, Tanzania, Togo, Somaliland, the United States, the Netherlands, Morocco, and Greenland, supporting the company's claim of active reach across 80+ countries. TEMcompany originated from Aarhus University research and continues to collaborate with academic institutions (DTU Sustain, Stanford, Aarhus) on field validation and methodology.

Core offering

TEMcompany develops and sells Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) geophysical scanners and companion software for non-invasive subsurface imaging across groundwater mapping, mineral exploration, environmental contamination assessment, and infrastructure evaluation use cases. The product portfolio includes the stationary sTEM family, the continuous towed tTEM family (with SnowTEM and FloaTEM variants), the portable backpack TEM2Go, the compact xTEM for mineral exploration, and TEMimage and TEManalyze desktop software for data processing and survey planning.

Product overview

TEMcompany offers an integrated portfolio of geophysical TEM (Transient Electromagnetic) scanners and companion software. The hardware product line spans four distinct scanner families: the sTEM stationary family (sTEM5, sTEM10, sTEM20 with profiler rig) for single-site measurements beyond 500 m depth; the tTEM towed family (tTEM, SnowTEM, FloaTEM) for continuous land and water-based large-area mapping; the portable backpack-based TEM2Go for challenging terrain; and the compact xTEM for discreet deep-penetration mineral exploration. All scanners are operated via Android/iOS mobile apps. The software suite complements hardware with TEMimage (desktop processing, inversion, and visualization for Windows and Mac) and TEManalyze (survey planning and performance assessment). Hardware and software are co-developed together to ensure seamless data flow from field acquisition through processing to interpretation.

Modular units (sTEM5, sTEM10, sTEM20) with a profiler rig option for mapping aquifer layers, artificial infiltration sites, and tailing dams; operated via Android or iOS app; 14.6 kg total weight with two 14.4 V lithium batteries. Targets geophysical contractors, research institutes, government agencies, and NGOs conducting groundwater and environmental surveys.
• tTEM family (tTEM, SnowTEM, FloaTEM) Towed high-resolution TEM geophysical scanner family for continuous large-area subsurface mapping on land and water. Variants include tTEM (towed by ATV, quad bike, or dinghy), SnowTEM (for remote frozen terrains), and FloaTEM (for floating/lake/river subsurface and sediment mapping). Targets contractors, government water authorities, and research institutions for groundwater, managed aquifer recharge, and sand and gravel deposit mapping.
• TEM2Go Portable backpack-based TEM geoscanner that delivers fast, accurate, continuous measurements over challenging terrains. Built on a professional backpack system for maximum flexibility and portability, with wireless coordination and real-time control. Targets field researchers, contractors, and organizations surveying construction sites, groundwater, and managed aquifer recharge where vehicle access is impractical.
• xTEM Compact TEM scanner enabling discreet and non-invasive deep-penetration geophysical surveys, operated via Android or iOS app. Transmitter capacity enables detailed measurements and 3D imaging. Targets mining companies and mineral exploration professionals.
• TEMimage Desktop processing and visualization software for Windows and Mac that simplifies the journey from raw field data to resistivity models. Integrates advanced inversion techniques through a clean, user-friendly interface and supports data filtering, inversion, modeling, interactive visualization, and exportable report outputs. Targets operators of TEMcompany instruments across all customer segments.
• TEManalyze Planning tool that helps users assess expected survey performance before going to the field, including achievable resolution and depth of investigation based on anticipated geological conditions and system configurations. Targets survey planners and geophysicists across contractors, research institutions, and government agencies.
