X-Ray & Screening Systems

For more than 100 years X-ray technology has been instrumental in exposing details hidden from the human eye. Radiation, detection and image processing technologies instantly deliver superb images of scanned objects whilst maintaining the highest possible level of operator safety.

These days security means more than just surveillance equipment to monitor your facility. You need to screen visitors to make sure they are not carrying contraband or weapons and for greater security, you may also need to screen your incoming packages and mail.

The ability to detect explosives, narcotics and weapons has become increasingly important to your security.

The threats posed by terrorists' use of explosives and by narcotics trafficking differ in significant ways. The bombing of an aircraft is still a rare event, but the consequences are catastrophic. By contrast, narcotics trafficking are a frequent occurrence and a single shipment has far different consequences than an aircraft bombing.

X-Ray machines are a perfect solution for the quick but thorough inspection of baggage and other materials for firearms and other weapons. An X-Ray system in conjunction with a good metal detection system is likely to let little pass unnoticed.

Many X-Ray machines are available with optional extras to enhance operator training or the feature-set of the machine. Amongst these new extras are:

TIP

The purpose of TIP (Threat Image Projection) is to monitor the x-ray operators performance level by discretely projecting images of threats into bags being scanned, detecting the operator's response to these threats, and recording the threat projections and operator responses in a database.

Operator Assist

Operator Assist (OA) helps the operator by highlighting suspect objects typically of specific density (mass) or Z-number (dual-energy systems) without stopping the belt. Typically Operator Assist is used for the automatic detection of explosives, contraband and narcotics.
