SMITHS DETECTION SELLS 2,000TH HI-SCAN 6040 CTIX SCANNER

KUALA LUMPUR, 12 March (Bernama) -- Smiths Detection has announced the sale of its 2,000th HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, a 3D X-ray scanner designed to enhance aviation security screening through high-resolution computed tomography images and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven automatic detection.

The system is deployed at more than 100 airports across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas, helping improve screening efficiency and passenger flow.

In locations where regulations permit, passengers are no longer required to remove laptops or liquids from their bags, helping reduce congestion at airport security checkpoints.

“Our technology is helping airports improve passenger flow, strengthen security outcomes and stay ahead of evolving threats through intelligent, AI-enabled screening solutions.

“This exciting milestone underscores Smiths Detection’s engineering heritage, sustained investment in innovation and our commitment to creating a better passenger experience,” said Smiths Detection Vice President Commercial, Matt Clark in a statement.

The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX has become widely adopted in aviation security, with its upgradeable platform designed to adapt to evolving threat environments while maintaining operational efficiency.

Smiths Detection will showcase the system at the upcoming Passenger Terminal Expo, where visitors can see live demonstrations of the technology and its application in airport checkpoint screening.

Smiths Detection is a global provider of threat detection and screening technologies for aviation, ports and borders, urban security and defence, helping enhance safety and facilitate efficient passenger movement worldwide.
