HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX

Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray scanner for checkpoint cabin baggage screening. Gantry rotates at constant speed while baggage passes on a conveyor belt; hundreds of X-ray projections are reconstructed into high-resolution volumetric 3D images in real time.

Conventional 2D X-ray checkpoint systems require passengers to remove laptops, liquids, and gels from hand baggage, creating queues and increasing tray handling. The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX provides volumetric CT imaging and automatic explosive detection that meets ECAC EDS CB C3 and TSA CPSS standards, removing the need to take those items out of bags and reducing manual alarm resolution.

• Computed Tomography 3D volumetric imaging from hundreds of X-ray projections per bag
• Automatic explosives detection via proprietary MAT (material discrimination) technology
• Highest belt speed in class at 0.2 m/s
• Tunnel size 620 (W) x 420 (H) mm - accommodates standard carry-on bags

• IPMO certified
• iCMORE APIDS certified ECAC/EU APIDS Standard 1 in combination with HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX

iCMORE APIDS

AI-based Automated Prohibited Items Detection System (APIDS) for aviation checkpoint screening.

Airport checkpoints using CT scanners require operators to manually review every 3D bag image, creating a productivity ceiling as traffic grows. iCMORE APIDS automates the detection of defined prohibited objects so operators only intervene when the algorithm flags an alarm, reducing routine image review and increasing throughput.

• AI algorithm-based automatic detection of prohibited items in CT X-ray images
• Detects: firearms, sharp objects (knives, scissors), axes, grenades, blasting caps, ammunition, blunt objects
• Enables alarm-only screening workflow - operators bypass routine image review
• Certified to ECAC/EU APIDS Standard 1 (first and only system with this certification as of April 2026)

• ECAC/EU APIDS Standard 1 certified (April 2026) - in combination with HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX
• Netherlands NCTV approved (October 2024)

Compact single X-ray source CT explosives detection system (EDS) for checked baggage and cargo screening in space- or weight-restricted environments. Suitable for smaller airports and standalone operations.

Smaller airports with limited floor space or infrastructure budgets require a compact ECAC Standard 3-approved EDS that can screen checked baggage including oversized items without requiring the footprint of high-throughput inline systems.

• Compact footprint suitable for smaller airports and restricted environments

iLane.evo

Automated modular tray return system for airport checkpoint screening lanes. Provides a motorised, continuous supply of trays to the divestment area, automatic bag diversion for secondary inspection, and reclaim space management at the exit of the checkpoint.

Manual tray handling at airport security checkpoints creates operational bottlenecks, increases labour requirements, and reduces passenger throughput. iLane.evo removes the need for manual tray sorting, loading, and return, delivering a steady flow of trays and enabling checkpoint operators to focus on image assessment.

• Motorised automatic tray return system
• Various parallel divestment options
• Automatic bag diverter for secondary inspection routing
• Modular design supporting multiple configurations

Checkpoint.Evoplus
