Smiths Detection sells its 1000th leading 3D X-ray scanner
19 Sep 2023

Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, today announces that it has achieved the 1,000th sale of its HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX computed tomography (CT) X-ray scanner.

The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX produces high-resolution volumetric 3D images for quicker and deeper baggage assessment and automatic explosive detection with low false-alarm rates. This provides an advanced security screening experience that allows passengers to leave electronic devices and liquids in their hand luggage, enabling passengers to move through airport security checkpoints faster, without compromising on safety. The state-of-the-art security scanner ultimately leads to greater safety outcomes, more efficient operations and improved passenger satisfaction. 

Already in use in airports around the world, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX has been shown to reduce time spent at security by up to 50%, with 90% of passengers at Milan Linate Airport passing through security in fewer than five minutes. 

Philo Daniel, Global Director Aviation and Urban Security said, “This is a significant achievement for us at Smiths Detection and is reflective of the remarkable system that the team have produced. Not only does the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX generate the highest quality images, but it also helps make faster decisions and has the quickest belt speed on the market – all of which contributes to getting passengers through security faster, while helping to make the world a safer place.”

In addition, the HI-SCAN 6040 boasts the lowest energy consumption of its type, which not only helps customers achieve their sustainability goals but helps to reduce noise and heat emitting from the system – resulting in a calmer security screening experience and a low cost of ownership.

The system has ECAC EDS CB C3 approval and featured on the Transport Security Administration's (‘TSA’) CPSS QPL & APL for base, medium and large configuration CT checkpoint screening systems. The CTiX scanner is also STAC, ENAC and IPMO approved, and has TSA APSS v6.2 Level 1 certification. 

Earlier this year, Smiths Detection announced the launch of the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S, which offers the same high-standards with a smaller footprint. This system has already achieved ECAC EDS CB C3 certification in Europe, with further local approvals to follow.

Smiths Detection advances Open Architecture Initiative with Neural Guard
12 Sep 2023

Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and screening software, announced that they will be collaborating with Neural Guard, a provider of artificial intelligence based automatic detection algorithms, to integrate their threat recognition software with Smiths Detection's HI-SCAN 6040 2-is X-ray scanner using the common API (Application Programming Interface) developed by EOS (the European Organisation for Security).

The HI-SCAN 6040 2-is is used in airports and building entrances around the globe to screen bags and other personal items for concealed threats and contraband. Integration with an advanced threat detection software such as Smiths Detection’s iCMORE weapons or Neural Guard’s EyeFox can speed up the screening process by automatically alerting operators to knives, guns, bullets and other threats.

The collaboration is part of Smiths Detection’s ongoing Ada Initiative that is accelerating the adoption of open architecture into the security environment.

Cymoril Metivier, Global Director Digital at Smiths Detection, said: “Automatic threat detection algorithms will transform security screening by making it more accurate and more efficient. Open architecture is an enabler of this by linking together existing infrastructure with software, sensors and algorithms from a choice of suppliers into one integrated system.”

Moshe Cohen, Chairman Neural Guard said: “We’re delighted to be working with Smiths Detection as they advance progress of open architecture into the security screening environment. By working together, we’re able to provide their customers with great choice as they seek to upgrade their systems.”

Smiths Detection announces the availability of the advanced HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX baggage screening system in India
01 Sep 2023

Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, has announced the availability of the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX for the Indian market. The advanced cabin baggage screening system is based on Computed Tomography (CT) technology for passenger checkpoint scanners. The announcement follows an advisory by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), that mandates the installation of 3D computed tomography X-ray machines at pre-departure security checkpoints at all Indian airports with an annual traffic of more than five million passengers.

The technology not only provides advanced security screening and automatic explosive detection but will also help improve passenger throughput and overall experience at airports by no longer requiring passengers to place electronic devices, chargers and liquids, among other items, into separate trays outside of their carry-on baggage.

Utilising the same technology used in hospitals, CT scanners examine baggage contents from every angle and generate 3D volumetric images which allow operators to more accurately analyse a bag’s contents whilst liquids and electronic devices can remain in bags.  Simply handling fewer trays can significantly increase checkpoint throughput, while the impressive 0.2m/s belt speed and low false alarm rate also speed up the process.

The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX also boasts the lowest energy consumption of any checkpoint CT X-ray on the market, meaning it is better able to help airports achieve their sustainability goals while meeting government requirements and enhancing safety. The low energy demand also results in low noise levels, no vibrations and less heat being emitted from the system, helping to foster a calmer security screening environment.

Vikrant Trilokekar, Managing Director of India, Smiths Detection said: “We are delighted to be introducing the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX 3D scanning technology to India. The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX has already been trialled at major Indian airports and we are excited at the feedback received from operators and security agencies. With a thousand units sold worldwide, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is a proven security screening system that can help transform the experience at the airport for passengers as well as for airport operators, while enhancing the level of security.”

Smiths Detection has been operating in India for over twenty years, with a majority of the airports using Smiths Detection equipment to screen passengers’ carry-on and checked baggage.
