What is the difference between an X-ray scanner and a metal detector?+
X-ray inspection provides an image of a bag or cargo for review. A walk-through metal detector is a separate pedestrian screening device that responds to metal. Their capabilities and procedures depend on the equipment.
Can shipping barrels and pallets be screened?+
Larger cargo inspection equipment may be suitable, depending on the barrel or pallet dimensions, weight, packaging and the selected scanner. A site assessment establishes the appropriate arrangement.
How do baggage and cargo scanners differ?+
They are selected for different object sizes, weights and workflows. Confirm the opening, load capacity and operating requirements of the specific equipment before selection.
Who reviews the X-ray image?+
An appropriately trained operator reviews the image according to the site's procedures. A highlighted area is a prompt for review, not proof of a particular substance or object.
Do people walk through the X-ray machine?+
No. In the illustrated checkpoint, bags and cargo pass through their respective X-ray tunnels while people use a separate walk-through metal detector.
What information helps with a screening assessment?+
Share the types and dimensions of objects, expected flows, site layout, available power, operator needs and existing security systems.
