Rapiscan Pathfinda
Using a state of the art camera vision system it accurately measures the baggage and aligns it quickly, ensuring a constant high throughput is obtained.
SEAMLESS FUNCTIONALITY
The system effectively replaces a standard 1200mm queue conveyor. Over 500 bags per hour can be orientated in a regular operation while usual bag tracking protocols are observed in the interface allowing the system to function seamlessly with the x-ray in feed.
GREATER SECURITY
Whilst assisting with manual handling problems, security is also enhanced as there is no manual intervention required.
REDUCED HEIGHT
For areas of restricted height, the Pathfinda can be equipped with double the standard number of cameras to enable a lower vision system whilst maintaining the accurate alignment and output as the standard system.
GUARANTEED ALIGNMENT
In certain pre-alignment applications there is a need to guarantee centralisation. In these instances we offer powered or unpowered deflectors to guarantee perfect alignment of all baggage items including handles and straps.
DATA ANALYSIS
Data collected from Pathfinda’s vision system can also be used and the images stored for further analysis.
