Smiths Detection has commenced the installation of
30 HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX carry-on baggage screening systems at
Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) in Rome.
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is a computed
tomography (CT) X-ray scanner that produces high-resolution volumetric
3D images for quicker and deeper baggage assessment and low
false-alarm rates.
The scanners allow for electronics and liquids
to remain in bags, speeding up passenger screening, reducing
touchpoints and enhancing the overall travel experience.
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX can also be equipped with Smiths
Detection’s object recognition software, iCMORE, which uses
advanced algorithms to reduce the burden on operators – and
potential errors – by automating the detection process for
prohibited items.
Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX carry-on baggage screening system
Stefano Scardigli, Senior Key Account, Smiths
Detection, said, “We are delighted to supply Leonardo da Vinci Rome
International Airport with 30 HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX scanners.
Utilising 3D imagery, our scanners offer the advanced screening of
carry-on baggage, enhancing security and improving operational
efficiency. Being able to leave electronics and liquids in
carry-on baggage will help expedite the screening process,
especially in light of the well documented staffing pressures at
airports around the world.”
The combination of the CT X-ray scanners,
alongside 45 already supplied Smiths Detection IONSCAN 600 trace
detectors, will further improve security and operational
efficiency. The IONSCAN 600 is a highly sensitive,
non-radioactive, lightweight, portable desktop system that detects
and identifies trace amounts of explosives and narcotics.
Marco Stramaccioni, Chief Executive Officer of
ADR Security for Leonardo da Vinci Rome International Airport,
said, “Aeroporti di Roma looks forward to be a frontrunner for
passenger experience and security at Leonardo da Vinci Rome
International Airport. As passenger numbers increase, we will be
well placed to efficiently screen passengers, reducing the burden
on our operators. By harnessing the power of CT technology, we
have future proofed our security checkpoints.”
Smiths Detection’s HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is certified
by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under the
Accessible Property Screening System (APSS) program to detection
standard 6.2, Level 1, permitting the scanner to operate at an
enhanced level with lower false alarm rates, as well as ECAC and
STAC EDS CB C3 approval.
