Smiths expands production
Smiths Detection opened a high-tech production plant at Wiesbaden inGermany in July this year, to meet soaring global demand for itsadvanced X-ray scanning machines – these are principally for airportsecurity but also used to support border checkpoint security.
New developments from Smiths recently have included high-energy gantry systems with material discrimination and integrated radiation detection, and pass-through systems providing high throughput capabilities.
Material discrimination combined with high energy provides the new ability to distinguish organic from inorganic material, says a spokesman. Gamma and neutron detection combined with X-ray inspection is offering an automatic process in a one-pass, fully integrated system.
