iCMORE APIDS meets German national requirements and provides a certified path to alarm only viewing
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies and a business of Smiths Group, today announced that its proprietary iCMORE Automated Prohibited Items Detection System (APIDS) has been certified by the German Federal Police Technology Centre (FPTC) for use at airport security checkpoints in Germany.
iCMORE APIDS leverages AI in image analysis to identify a wide range of prohibited items on computed tomography (CT) screening systems with proven accuracy and reliability, at pace. Real time alerts give operators invaluable support, enable faster decisions and safely raise throughput for a more seamless passenger experience.
Certification from the German FPTC marks a clear step toward the ambition of alarm only viewing with iCMORE APIDS. The iCMORE algorithm was tested against EU APIDS Standard 1 alongside additional national requirements. Coverage applies to HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX in the certified configuration, and Smiths Detection will work with customers to align versions, schedule updates and deploy within the approved scope.
Cymoril Métivier, Global Digital Portfolio Director at Smiths Detection, said:
“This certification is another forward step for aviation security, operational efficiency and the passenger experience. With iCMORE APIDS delivering proven results on CT, passengers will know with certainty that they are protected with world leading precision while airport operators gain a transformational uplift in efficiency. Smiths Detection is leading this shift, enabling our customers’ security policy and paving the way for the future of airport security and alarm only viewing.”
