The detection system offers one of the highest detection
rates in its class
HONG KONG, March 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Smiths Detection,
a global leader in threat detection and screening technologies for
aviation, ports and borders, urban security and military markets,
today announced that it has won a contract to supply DHL Express
(Hong Kong) Limited with four
units of HI-SCAN 10080 EDX-2is to achieve greater throughput
capacity and increased security levels. The high-speed system
automatically screens cargo and baggage for explosives, offering
one of the highest detection rates in its class. This contract
follows the earlier successful implementation of the system in DHL
Singapore and Japan.
The international e-commerce sector continues to enjoy
exponential growth. In Asia alone,
the online retail market is set to reach USD1.2 trillion by 2021, with Hong Kong identified as an ideal base for
e-commerce providers to expand in the wider Asia region[1]. Detection and security systems
that can help increase the shipment inspection speed and
throughput capacity play a crucial role for international delivery
service providers.
This system uses the latest innovations in automatic image
evaluation and X-ray generator and sensor technology. Due to its
screening capability, combined with a low false alarm rate, the
system is able to screen up to 1,800 bags per hour, setting a new
standard for automated screening technology. Automation of the
primary inspection process offers the added benefits of reducing
manpower and recurring costs. The systems will also be integrated
with Automated Material Handling Systems (MHS) for air cargo
screening.
"We are delighted that DHL Express has once again selected
Smiths Detection to provide them with the detection system they
need in Hong Kong to fulfil their
operational requirements," said Jerome de
Chassey, Vice President, Asia-Pacific Region, Smiths
Detection. "With the HI-SCAN 10080 EDX-2is, DHL Express will be
able to speed up the inspection process and more than double its
throughput rates. Together with our unparalleled automated
explosive detection system, we are confident that we can help DHL
Express deliver the security and peace of mind that their customers
deserve."
Smiths Detection has more than 75,000 X-ray systems in more than
180 countries and over 24,500 explosive trace (ETDs) detectors
installed worldwide.
