Gilardoni is a company, established in 1947, whose mission is to design and manufacture advanced x-ray and ultrasound equipment for security, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and medical applications.

Gilardoni is based in Milan, Italy, and employs approximately 220 people who provide R&D, manufacturing, distribution and service on a global scale. Gilardoni products are installed and serviced worldwide.

Gilardoni is a R&D oriented company: our research laboratories are certified as "highly qualified" by an Italian ministerial decree; we perform joint R&D projects with major multi-nationals, small entrepreneurial firms, universities and clinical centres; and we are ISO 9001 and 46001 certified. We have numerous patents to our name and invest heavily in the development of our core technologies.

Our R&D and manufacturing departments are located in Mandello del Lario, Italy, supported by a global network of suppliers: offices, branches and agencies for service and distribution can be found all over the world. Our factories use lean production and JIT techniques to increase 'speed to market', improve quality and contain costs.

Our products comply with international regulations, such as IEC, UL, ISO and CE, and are approved by major authorities (including FDA, TUV and PTB). Our facilities cover over 26,000m².

LUGGAGE SCREENING SYSTEMS

Gilardoni offers a complete range of luggage screening systems, from small hand baggage control systems to mobile systems for large objects. Gilardoni's multi-energy x-ray technology meets all scanning and inspection requirements, and is used worldwide in airports, public buildings, mail rooms and customs.

BAGGAGE AND LUGGAGE SCREENING

The FEP ME 640 is Gilardoni's best-selling system, and has been certified by STAC (the French civil aviation authority). Its design, suited for cabin baggage and hand luggage inspection, makes it ideal for use in airport screening.

The FEP ME 640 uses the most up-to-date technology in detection, acquisition and software management. Its tunnel size is 600mm x 400mm.

BAGGAGE X-RAY EXPLOSIVES DETECTION SYSTEM

The FEP ME 640 DEXGIL is a breakthrough carry-on luggage x-ray security system. Automatic explosive detection, superior image quality, high configurability and network connectivity are the key features of this innovative system.

The neural software DEXGIL, fully developed in our R&D laboratories, provides the operator with an automatic, real-time explosive detection function essential to face today's terrorism threats. A variety of coloured outlines identify different explosives.

The FEP ME 640 DEXGIL complies with Explosive Detection System (EDS) requirements.

BULKY BAGGAGE SCANNING

For hold baggage exigencies, Gilardoni offers the FEP ME 975, 990 and 1000. The FEP ME 975 has a tunnel size of 900mm x 750mm; the FEP ME 990 of 900mm x 900mm; and the FEP ME 1000 of 1,000mm x 1,000mm.

CARGO SCANNING

The FEP ME CARGO is Gilardoni's answer to cargo-scanning needs. Designed to inspect pallets and large packages, it features the most up-to-date detection technology, acquisition electronics and PC data-management software. Its tunnel size of 1,500mm x 1,650mm makes this equipment ideal for use in airports, harbours and any activity which involves the use of cargo.

SELF-CONTAINED MOBILE X-RAY SYSTEMS

Gilardoni can satisfy customers who need mobile x-ray systems with the FEP ME 975 SCANTRUCK, a unit featuring all the specifications of regular scanners, but with increased sturdiness to perform mobile scanning.

Mobile systems help to reduce costs, by enabling X-ray screening at different locations using the same machine. Security is improved by the ability to rapidly deploy screening without prior notice.

OPTIONAL ALARM AND TRAINING SOFTWARE

Gilardoni systems can be upgraded with ADS and TIP to increase their performance. ADS detects illegal items through an automatic alarm device: a red rectangle highlights potentially explosive materials, while a yellow one indicates contraband items such as drugs and currency.

TIP software displays virtual dangerous objects randomly on the operator's monitor, amongst real images, in order to ensure his or her full attention and focus at all times.
