Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, today announced that the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) has certified iCMORE Automatic Prohibited Items Detection System (APIDS) algorithm with the use of OneTray and Cassioli trays in combination with the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX and HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S screening systems for all Italian airports. The certification follows an independent technical evaluation by ENAC and confirms that both tray types deliver automatic detection performance equivalent to Smiths Detection’s SD3 reference tray, which recently received ECAC APIDS 1 approval.
Powered by AI, Smiths Detection’s iCMORE APIDS enables true alarm-only image review, allowing operators to focus only on images that require attention. For airports and aviation security operators in Italy, the certification supports more efficient screening, higher passenger throughput and a smoother checkpoint experience, while maintaining the highest levels of security.
Thomas van de Plassche, Portfolio Manager, Automated Detection at Smiths Detection said:
“This certification reflects the practical value of independent validation. By confirming that alternative tray configurations can be used with our screening systems while maintaining automatic detection performance, ENAC gives airports greater confidence and operational flexibility. Our focus remains on helping airports improve security performance, increase efficiency and deliver a smoother passenger journey while meeting strict regulatory requirements.”
