  • Garrett Metal Detectors launches SecureFlow Kiosk, enhancing Paragon metal detector interface capabilities.
  • SecureFlow Kiosk improves secondary screening by displaying alarm information in real-time.
  • Manufactured in Texas, SecureFlow Kiosk aims to streamline security processes and reduce personnel needs.

Texas-based Garrett Metal Detectors announced that it had begun taking orders for its newly released SecureFlow™ Kiosk. Product details for SecureFlow are now live and available on garrett.com.

The SecureFlow Kiosk is an enhanced user interface for Garrett Paragon walk-through metal detectors. This tablet-based accessory provides constant access to recent alarm information as well as current walkthrough settings and a live view of the Paragon's zone indication and ready lights. It connects to the detector via a wired ethernet connection.

Performance in security metal detection

The company says that the kiosk will enhance both throughput and security by improving secondary screening efficiency and reducing fatigue and the impact of any attention lapses that occur with checkpoint staff.

"Paragon is the pinnacle of performance in security metal detection, and the SecureFlow Kiosk is the next step in creating a superior checkpoint experience with uncompromising results," said Steve Novakovich, CEO of Garrett.

Benefit of SecureFlow

The company says that the kiosk will enhance both throughput and security by improving secondary screening efficiency

Novakovich added: "In recent years, there has been a lack of progress in our industry in improving the tools and the processes of secondary screening, which is the check that comes after the primary screening platform signals an alarm. At Garrett, we have always believed that checkpoint security is only as good as the secondary screening process. SecureFlow helps address the need for better secondary screening by keeping critical information in front of the secondary screener in a simple, yet highly actionable form."

"With the SecureFlow Kiosk, the screener doesn't have to observe the zone lights at the time of alarm or remember the location of the alarm in order to quickly and efficiently identify and remove contraband and threat objects. The benefit of SecureFlow for our customers is a faster identification of targets, a better checkpoint experience for those being screened, and possibly a reduction in the number of secondary screening personnel that are needed for smooth operations."

Garrett encourages security customers

The SecureFlow Kiosk is manufactured at Garrett's Garland, Texas, facility with appropriate design patents and trademark protections.

Garrett encourages security customers to insist on buying genuine products from reputable companies to ensure quality, product performance, and effective security operations.
