Flatscan-POD allows Flatscan-TPXi to be used as a baggage screening cabinet as well as retaining its use as a fully portable x-ray system.
It is suitable for checking bags as they are carried in to public arenas or events, and also for emergency use x-raying suspect bags, cases and parcels that have been left unattended.
Both units can quickly be moved from venue to venue. To use as a baggage scanning system, the Flatscan-TPXi is slotted into the Portable Screening Cabinet and operated as a public-safe x-ray cabinet for bags and packages. Battery operation allows it to be operated in areas without mains electricity.
To investigate suspect unattended items the slim, the lightweight Flatscan-TPXi is removed from the POD and deployed without the need to touch or move the suspect bag.
As well as being versatile, the system provides state of the art, clear, high resolution, x-ray images, and it can highlight the difference between organic material (such as Semtex) and metal objects, (such as guns).
Advanced software provides sophisticated image processing techniques that help the operator securely identify the contents of the package.FlatScan-POD has already been deployed both in London and across many parts of the UK rail network.
