Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 6040 DV – Dual-View X-Ray Security Screening System
Product Overview
The Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 6040 DV is an advanced dual-view X-ray screening system designed for the automatic detection of explosives and liquids at aviation and urban security checkpoints. It generates two X-ray views of each inspected item, helping security operators examine concealed contents without routinely repositioning or rescanning baggage.
With high-quality imaging, intelligent image-display functions and compatibility with automated tray-handling systems, the HI-SCAN 6040 DV supports efficient screening at airports, government buildings, embassies, banks and other security-sensitive facilities.
Key Features and Benefits
- Dual-view X-ray imaging: Provides two views of scanned items to help operators assess overlapping objects and concealed contents.
- Automatic explosives detection: Supports automated detection of explosives through the manufacturer’s EDS algorithms.
- Liquid explosives detection: Includes LEDS functionality for screening applications covered by the applicable system approval.
- High-quality image display: Smart display functions help operators interpret X-ray images and assess potential threats.
- Optional weapons recognition: The iCMORE Weapons application supports automatic detection of selected weapons, including pistols, revolvers, gun parts and knives.
- Optional currency detection: Compatible configurations can support automatic recognition of large stacks or bundles of currency.
- Compact installation footprint: Designed to integrate into modern security checkpoints without requiring an unnecessarily large equipment area.
- Tray-handling integration: Compatible with Smiths Detection and third-party tray-handling and management systems.
- Centralised screening support: Integration with Checkpoint.Evo plus can support centralised screening, operational data insights and equipment health monitoring.
- Cybersecurity protection: Includes measures such as operating-system hardening, host-based firewall protection, integrity monitoring and configurable user-management policies.
- Operational efficiency: Dual-view imaging can reduce the need to reposition or rescan objects, helping improve screening workflows.
