Smiths Detection, a pioneer in threat detection and security screening technologies, and a business of Smiths Group plc, announces it is to supply SDX 6040 X-ray inspection systems to a number of major cruise lines.
With thousands of people and large quantities of cargo coming onboard, screening systems are vital in helping detect weapons, explosives, drugs, and other prohibited items hidden in luggage or supplies.
SDX 6040’s portable and flexible design
SDX 6040’s portable and flexible design makes it the perfect solution for cruise line operators
The SDX 6040 offers the best image quality on the market, with unmatched clarity in detection that enables operators to quickly screen bags, ensuring that boarding the ship is safe and seamless for passengers.
The SDX 6040’s portable and flexible design makes it the perfect solution for cruise line operators seeking a mobile X-ray inspection system that delivers high protection and operational efficiency. Its compact footprint means it can be easily manoeuvred onboard and conveniently stored within the vessel.
Complicated installations and concerns
It can also fit through a standard door, eliminating the need for complicated installations and concerns about fitting into tight spaces.
The system’s smart image display features, including organic stripping and enhancement modes, provide superior discrimination between organic and inorganic materials, critical for the precise detection of explosives, drugs, and other contraband -- while its high throughput capability ensures that large volumes of luggage can be screened quickly and efficiently, minimising delays and maintaining smooth operations.
