By GlobalDataThe easy-to-use and portable Itemiser 4DX eliminates the administrative, regulatory, storage and shipping requirements related with a radiation-emitting trace detection source.
The detector helps reduce operational costs for airports and air cargo facilities, law enforcement agencies and government and critical infrastructure installations.
Recently, the company was awarded with similar contracts by Manchester Airports and Denmark’s Copenhagen Airport to enhance the screening systems at the respective airports.
So far, Morpho has deployed approximately 23,000 ETD units, including more than 800 Itemiser 4DX, at various airport checkpoints, checked baggage and air cargo screening facilities, critical infrastructure and secure locations across Europe.
