By GlobalDataAnalogic CEO Tom Ripp said: “This deployment is a tribute to the strong collaboration between Rochester Airport, the local TSA staff, and Analogic’s service and install team.
“This project also shows how TSA’s investments in improved aviation security help the US manufacturing base. Not only is Analogic headquartered in the USA, one of our key suppliers is Precise Tool and Manufacturing, which is located in the Rochester metropolitan area.”
To support the TSA CPSS Programme, Analogic is deploying more than 300 of its ConneCT screening systems at airport security checkpoints across the country.
