Smiths Detection Augmented X-Ray: A quantum leap in screening cargo and vehicles

Ensuring the safety of people and property in today’s complex and fast-paced world requires detection systems that can keep up with increasing demands. Traditional X-ray technology, while reliable, has limitations in image quality, data capture, and material discrimination. These constraints often lead to time-intensive manual checks and potential oversights in cargo inspections, making it harder for operators to efficiently and accurately identify threats.

To address these challenges, Smiths Detection has developed Augmented X-Ray technology, offering a revolutionary solution for cargo inspection. This cutting-edge innovation captures up to 60 times more data per scan and delivers images with nearly eight times the resolution of standard systems. Advanced algorithms enhance depth perception and object positioning, enabling operators to locate items within a container with precision. Features such as colour-enhanced imaging, improved material discrimination, and suppression capabilities further refine detection processes. The technology also adapts X-ray frequency to vehicle speeds, removing the need for external sensors and reducing operational risks. The result is a new era of detection efficiency and accuracy. Operators now have a powerful tool that not only streamlines inspections but also enables faster and more targeted manual checks. Enhanced clarity and precision empower operators to identify threats confidently, while the adaptability of the system ensures seamless application across mobile, gantry, and portal inspections. This transformation redefines safety standards, ensuring better protection for people and property worldwide
