Smiths Detection has launched its cutting edge X-ray Diffraction scanner, the SDX 10060 XDi, taking security screening into a new era.
According to Smiths Detection, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful inspection technology offering highly accurate material discrimination and substance identification based on an object’s molecular structure. XRD is particularly suited to detecting constantly evolving compounds in powder, liquid or solid forms, such as ‘homemade’ explosives or narcotics, even for materials with similar densities.
With multi-level baggage and material handling operations under pressure to screen huge volumes quickly and efficiently, the SDX 10060 XDi can transform this process by automating the resolution of potential explosive alarms, in turn improving both security and efficiency.
XRD technology can also be deployed to support customs agencies in screening for contraband items, including narcotics, helping to mitigate ever-growing threats to society.
“We are immensely proud to announce the launch of the SDX 10060 XDi which marks a new era in security screening,” said Jerome de Chassey, President of Smiths Detection. “Every minute of every day our threat detection and security screening technology helps to protect people and infrastructure and this new development highlights our commitment to making the world a safer place. X-ray Diffraction will future-proof operations for a large variety of sectors and we are proud to play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of future threat detection.”
