Smiths Detection has announced a collaboration with GRASP Innovations to allow the integration of GRASP’s sensor technology into Smiths Detection’s security checkpoints. The collaboration is part of Smiths Detection’s Ada Initiative that seeks to enable hardware, software and algorithms from different product suppliers to be plugged together using open architecture.
GRASP Innovations uses strategically placed sensors to provide data on passenger flows that allow for better resource allocation. The technology will be integrated into Smiths Detection’s end-to-end security checkpoint solutions. The two companies will jointly pursue opportunities within the industry and interact with existing customers.
Smiths Detection has also recently launched the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S, a smaller footprint version of its Computed Tomography (CT) passenger checkpoint scanner.
This new model, which is 20cm narrower and 350kg lighter than the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, can be integrated into existing and new airport or critical infrastructure checkpoints.
