The move is part of the ongoing Ada Initiative of Smiths Detection to expedite the adoption of open architecture (OA) across aviation, ports, borders and others.

The OA facilitates the integration of hardware, software and algorithms from different product suppliers, thereby improving security outcomes.

SeeTrue co-founder and CEO Assaf Frenkel said: “SeeTrue is excited to partner with Smiths Detection, which has one of the largest footprints for security screening technology worldwide. Open architecture is vital in the transition to CT. This partnership gives customers the freedom of choice in detection software, X-Ray and CT machines.”

Smiths Detection, a division of the Smiths Group, provides automatic threat detection algorithms that can be integrated into its X-ray screening equipment.
