People screening systems
Smiths Detection is a world leader in detection and identification technologies, specialising in screening systems for the detection of illegal and dangerous items. Our solutions focus on a combination of multiple, complementary technologies to provide a layered approach to security.
Smiths Detection offers a range of people screening systems with applications across a multitude of environments. Entry level people screening is addressed through a wide range of metal detection products. [more]
With eqo Smiths Detection offers a people screening system that is based on non-ionizing mm-wave technology used to find concealed items of any material type hidden on a person.
Millimetre-waves lie in the spectral region between radio waves and infrared. This band possesses a unique property of passing transparently through lightweight materials such as clothing fabrics. The property is made use of in mm-wave imagers that find their principal application in concealed object detection systems – typically used to identify the presence of weapons and contraband that are hidden beneath a persons clothing, making the technology ideal for the airport body scanner. The eqo product – named because it senses mm-wave echoes – marks an evolution to ‘next-generation’ technology for mm-wave imagers. The electronic scanning not only dispenses with the need for moving parts but also dramatically reduces the footprint of the product. The system consists of a flat-panel array that produces high quality data that is processed through automatic detection algorithms in real-time. The output is presented to the operator immediately on completion of the scan. More details of the eqo scanner are available on the product page. [more]
Millimetre-wave imagers have evolved over the past 50 years from very rudimentary systems to today’s technologies that generate real-time scan data for use as advanced people screening portals. In this evolution from scientific instruments to airport body scanner, the overriding constraint has been the cost of the sensors that detect the mm-wave signals. To overcome this barrier, scanning systems have been employed to direct mm-wave energy from all parts of the scene onto a small number of sensors. Historically these scanning systems have been based on mechanical techniques employing moving parts to direct and focus the mm-wave energy. Smiths use a revolutionary approach that scans the scene electronically and has resulted in the first ‘no moving parts’ imager that is suitable for mass people screening. [more]
Smiths Detection expands its range of people screening solutions with B-SCAN. Based on extremely low dose transmission X-ray technology B-SCAN offers security professionals a method to detect objects concealed in body cavities or artificial limbs as well as hidden on a person.
