Smiths Detection has introduced a revolutionary X-ray Diffraction scanner, the SDX 10060 XDi, that is changing the game in security screening. XRD technology provides precise material discrimination and substance identification based on an object’s molecular structure, making it highly effective in detecting a wide range of compounds in powder, liquid, or solid forms.
This scanner is particularly useful in identifying evolving threats such as homemade explosives or narcotics, even when substances have similar densities. With airports and other high-volume screening operations facing the challenge of screening large amounts of baggage quickly and accurately, this scanner can automate the resolution of potential explosive alarms, enhancing both security and efficiency.
Furthermore, XRD technology can assist customs agencies in detecting contraband items like narcotics, helping to combat the growing threats posed by illegal substances in society. The launch of the SDX 10060 XDi represents a significant advancement in security screening, with Smiths Detection’s President, Jerome de Chassey, emphasizing the company’s commitment to enhancing security measures and protecting people and infrastructure.
Smiths Detection’s development of the SDX 10060 XDi sets a new standard for security screening across various sectors. This technology ensures that operations are future-proofed against emerging threats. The introduction of X-ray Diffraction technology demonstrates Smiths Detection’s dedication to shaping the future of threat detection and making the world a safer place.
