By GlobalDataThe technology can be incorporated into existing hardware and equipment, such as its CT scans, as well as can be used in combination with other software.
Currently, trials of the technology are underway at the airport on a small scale. Schiphol intends to implement it on a large scale if it conforms to all the parameters and European laws.
The partnership between Pangiam and Schiphol is part of a broader initiative, which aims to expedite the innovation and development of in-house and partner technology solutions.
Pangiam Project DARTMOUTH head Alexis Long said: “Royal Schiphol Group has an international reputation for innovation and excellence in technology. This collaboration allows us to bring the benefits of artificial intelligence to the security checkpoint and improve the process.”
In June 2022, the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced a trial of Pangiam’s AI-based screening technology, as part of Project DARTMOUTH.
