Systems will be deployed to scan cargo at the
Honmoku and Sendai sites
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and
security inspection technologies, announces that it has secured a
contract to provide the customs authorities of Yokohama with two
Cargo Inspection Systems (CIS).
Smiths Detection’s CIS system will be deployed at the Honmoku
and Sendai Inspection Centers. It will be used to screen cargo
trucks for narcotics and other prohibited items. Equipped with
cutting-edge software, the CIS system discriminates between
materials and reduces the movement of illegal substances and goods,
while helping to maintain the constant flow of trade.
The CIS systems are to be fitted with conveyor technology, which
will deliver enhanced performance and increased throughput. The
systems at both sites will be installed in May 2023.
Aurelien Guilbert, Managing Director of North & South
Asia, Smiths Detection said: “We are proud that the customs
authorities of Japan’s second biggest city have chosen Smiths
Detection’s technology to enhance the security of its port. Our
Cargo Inspection Systems are designed to optimise security checks
to maintain the steady flow of vehicles and goods, with the
conveyor system further enhancing efficiency. We look forward to
further potential co-operation with customs authorities across
Japan.”
