Checkpoint security solutions for today and tomorrow

www.smithsdetection.com

Security is a matter of trust Challenges for security checks – today and tomorrow Air traffic passenger numbers are constantly rising and security is becoming an even greater focus. Major international airports, in particular, face a serious challenge in terms of maintaining the highest security standards while at the same time organising passenger and baggage checks in an efficient and flexible way. In the medium-term, conventional inspection areas will find themselves at full capacity. In contrast, the checkpoint of the future will rely on innovative technologies which will adapt to the characteristics of their purpose – with the potential for further development. With this in mind, Smiths Detection provides powerful turnkey solutions including the required infrastructure, planning and training, supported by rapid, specialised service. By using smarter security technologies airports will be in the position to work more efficiently in the future, regardless of ever-rising passenger numbers. Flexible solutions will pave the way for future changes in operating procedures or the approach to security. Passengers, in turn, benefit from a new experience through reduced queueing and waiting times, smooth flows and new services such as automated baggage drops. Smiths Detection is prepared to integrate innovative sensor technologies seamlessly within the checkpoint of tomorrow, and supplies impressive, space-saving solutions for maximum security supporting high passenger throughput.

At the same time, airports tread a sensitive path between the pressures of changing regulations, progressively greater demands for efficiency and the expectation of passengers for increased travelling comfort. Smiths Detection puts all of these requirements at the centre sustainable solutions for customers, both now and in the future. For example, holistic checkpoint solutions which are customer focused to contribute towards optimum configuration of the checkpoint. This includes the best possible utilisation of space for rapid and smooth checking processes.

and Advanced Recheck. The system captures data from the X-ray and transmits it to a remote workstation for image analysis. If the operator there is satisfied that the bag contents pose no risk, the luggage is allowed to pass through the screening process without interruption. If a potential risk is identified, this can be marked and sent back to a monitor that can be directly viewed by the operator at the re-check workstation. In this way, Smiths Detection is working to ensure that the checkpoint of the future becomes a reality. Smiths Detection‘s advanced solutions: • Advanced X-ray Screening • Advanced Recheck

ECAC LEDS 2/C ECAC LEDS (Liquid Explosives Detection System) Standard 2 Type C

HI-SCAN 6040aTiX*

HI-SCAN 6040-2is HR*

This superior multi-view X-ray system for automatic detection of solid and liquid explosives in carry-on baggage uses two high-resolution views. aTiX systems in service world-wide have demonstrated a high detection rate and high reliability throughout the entire life cycle. The system is approved for LEDS under ECAC Standard 2 Type C and has been developed to meet future security standards.

This dual-view X-ray system was developed for the automatic detection of explosives in carry-on baggage. It supports the operators with a new, ergonomic interface to enable easy and smooth inspection. Characterised by compact dimensions, reduced weight and an attractive design, it is ideally suited for security checkpoints with limited space. The high resolution version is approved for LEDS under ECAC Standard 3 Type C.

HI-SCAN 7555aTiX* This is a real all-rounder. Just like HI-SCAN 6040aTiX it is EU approved for the screening of LAGs (Liquids, Aerosols and Gels). Thanks to larger tunnel dimensions and indivudual algorithms, it also qualifies for checked baggage screening in compliance with EU EDS Standard 2. The increased conveyor load capacity makes it suitable for screening oversized baggage and small and medium-sized air cargo. ECAC LEDS 2/C
