Security is<br />
a matter of trust<br />
Challenges <strong>for</strong> <strong>security</strong> checks<br />
– <strong>today</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>tomorrow</strong><br />
Air traffic passenger numbers are constantly rising <strong>and</strong> <strong>security</strong> is becoming<br />
an even greater focus. Major international airports, in particular, face a<br />
serious challenge in terms of maintaining the highest <strong>security</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
while at the same time organising passenger <strong>and</strong> baggage checks in an<br />
efficient <strong>and</strong> flexible way.<br />
In the medium-term, conventional inspection areas will find themselves at<br />
full capacity. In contrast, the checkpoint of the future will rely on innovative<br />
technologies which will adapt to the characteristics of their purpose – with<br />
the potential <strong>for</strong> further development. With this in mind, Smiths Detection<br />
provides powerful turnkey <strong>solutions</strong> including the required infrastructure,<br />
planning <strong>and</strong> training, supported by rapid, specialised service. By using<br />
smarter <strong>security</strong> technologies airports will be in the position to work more<br />
efficiently in the future, regardless of ever-rising passenger numbers.<br />
Flexible <strong>solutions</strong> will pave the way <strong>for</strong> future changes in operating<br />
procedures or the approach to <strong>security</strong>. Passengers, in turn, benefit from a<br />
new experience through reduced queueing <strong>and</strong> waiting times, smooth flows<br />
<strong>and</strong> new services such as automated baggage drops. Smiths Detection is<br />
prepared to integrate innovative sensor technologies seamlessly within the<br />
checkpoint of <strong>tomorrow</strong>, <strong>and</strong> supplies impressive, space-saving <strong>solutions</strong><br />
<strong>for</strong> maximum <strong>security</strong> supporting high passenger throughput.

No other issue is more important to air travel than the<br />
safety of passengers. This is increasingly reflected in the<br />
changes in <strong>security</strong> regulations that must be carried out<br />
by airport operators.<br />
At the same time, airports tread a sensitive path between<br />
the pressures of changing regulations, progressively<br />
greater dem<strong>and</strong>s <strong>for</strong> efficiency <strong>and</strong> the expectation of<br />
passengers <strong>for</strong> increased travelling com<strong>for</strong>t. Smiths<br />
Detection puts all of these requirements at the centre<br />
of its technology <strong>and</strong> product development, resulting in<br />
sustainable <strong>solutions</strong> <strong>for</strong> customers, both now <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
future. For example, holistic checkpoint <strong>solutions</strong> which<br />
are customer focused to contribute towards optimum<br />
configuration of the checkpoint. This includes the<br />
best possible utilisation of space <strong>for</strong> rapid <strong>and</strong> smooth<br />
checking processes. Whether <strong>for</strong> baggage scanning<br />
with X-ray equipment, or sensors <strong>for</strong> liquid detection,<br />
or passenger screening with safe millimetre-wave<br />
technology, Smiths Detection offers the most advanced<br />
range of threat detection products. Smiths Detection<br />
simplifies decisions about important investment with its<br />
range of modular <strong>solutions</strong> that perfectly complement<br />
existing systems. One example is the TIM scanner<br />
<strong>for</strong> liquids that can be connected to existing X-ray<br />
equipment. Or the HI-SCAN 6040-2is X-ray<br />
scanner, which offers an outst<strong>and</strong>ing price/<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance ratio, contributing to checkpoint<br />
efficiency with its compact dimensions<br />
<strong>and</strong> excellent throughput. Operators carry the<br />
responsibility <strong>for</strong> <strong>security</strong>. To serve their needs, our<br />
priorities there<strong>for</strong>e include the continuous improvement<br />
of the work area <strong>and</strong> enhanced image quality, <strong>for</strong> easier<br />
detection of <strong>security</strong> hazards.<br />
As pioneers in future checkpoint technologies, Smiths<br />
Detection systems allow the aviation industry to<br />
implement the latest technology to support greater<br />
productivity <strong>and</strong> efficiency. An important component of<br />
this is the networking of different systems, including<br />
X-ray systems <strong>and</strong> sensors, to capture data <strong>and</strong> statistics<br />
that are vital in ensuring rapid <strong>and</strong> smooth checking<br />
processes. The optimum solution is Remote Screening<br />
<strong>and</strong> Advanced Recheck. The system captures data from<br />
the X-ray <strong>and</strong> transmits it to a remote workstation <strong>for</strong><br />
image analysis. If the operator there is satisfied that<br />
the bag contents pose no risk, the luggage is allowed to<br />
pass through the screening process without interruption.<br />
If a potential risk is identified, this can be marked <strong>and</strong><br />
sent back to a monitor that can be directly viewed by the<br />
operator at the re-check workstation. In this way, Smiths<br />
Detection is working to ensure that the checkpoint of the<br />
future becomes a reality. Smiths Detection‘s advanced<br />
