Energy efficient HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S
passenger checkpoint scanner delivers increased productivity, lower
operating costs and highest standards of security with a
significantly smaller footprint
Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and
security screening technologies, today announces that it has
launched the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S, a smaller footprint version
of its successful, security operator preferred, Computed Tomography
(CT) passenger checkpoint scanner.
This new model, which is 20cm narrower and 350kg lighter than
the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, can be easily integrated into existing and
new airport or critical infrastructure checkpoints. Both models of
the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX feature industry leading image quality and
low levels of energy consumption, a belt speed of 0.2m/s, which is
30% higher than other CT X-ray scanners, alongside low noise levels
and zero vibration, improving the checkpoint experience for both
passengers and security operators.
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S harnesses the power of CT X-ray
scanning eliminating the need to remove electronic devices, liquids
and gels from hand luggage by producing 3D volumetric images,
reducing the number of trays and speeding up the security screening
process. The new Model S also features the original model’s award
winning operator interface.
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S can be seamlessly integrated
alongside both Smiths Detection and third-party technology,
supporting the development of open architecture solutions. It can
be further enhanced with Smiths Detection’s iCMORE automated object
recognition software which allows for automated detection of an
ever-expanding list of prohibited items, improving security
outcomes and efficiency. While the latest data security features
and controls ensure customer data and assets are well protected
from cyber-attacks.
Philo Daniel, Global Director Aviation, Smiths Detection
said: “With over 700 units sold globally, the market leading
HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX delivers the very best passenger baggage security
solution, and we are delighted to further enhance our product
portfolio with this new launch. We have developed a more
streamlined checkpoint scanner, which can fit into checkpoints with
size and layout limitations, that improves energy efficiency, the
screening process, security outcomes and passenger experience.”
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S is ECAC EDS CB C3 approved in
Europe, with further local approvals to follow.
