Additionally, the baggage screening solution can help airports reduce costs for administration and maintenance services, as they would no longer need to use threat image projection in order to review operator performance.

The Smiths Detection system allows airports to maintain high levels of operator performance as the complexity of X-ray images remain consistently the same, thereby facilitating threat detection.

The HI-SCAN 6040aTiX solution offers accurate detection performance and carries out complex analyses in real-time, without affecting normal checkpoint procedures.
