The greater Tokyo airport has been a client of Smiths Detection’s hold baggage scanner systems for ten years. The new CTX units will replace 27 legacy Smiths Detection baggage scanners and will screen baggage faster and take up less space in airline cargo handling areas.
Narita is the launch customer for the CORAL Advanced Predictive Analysis Suite, which can predict and schedule maintenance on hold baggage or checkpoint screening networks. Smiths Detection said the upgraded system meant threats, substances and cyber security enhancements can added over time to the units’ capability. CTX can be programmed to handle up to 1800 bags an hour with either legacy systems or its new offering.
