The system’s dual-view capability will accelerate the amount of cargo screened by providing the operator with two high-resolution adjoining images, reducing the need to scan twice to obtain the same data.
Smiths Detection president, Mal Maginnis, said: "A smooth flow of air cargo is critical to the global economy."
Maginnis added: "Our new, advanced X-ray inspection system will allow shippers to screen bulk items without the requirement of unpacking shipments, scanning individual boxes and then re-assembling the pallet or large shipment.
"The HI-SCAN 145180-2is, which also features a highly compact footprint, will save our customers both precious time and money."
