Security Use Cases

Contraband Detection and Security Sweeps

Detecting hidden threats is a critical challenge for intelligence, security, and border protection teams, especially as traditional methods often fall short, creating significant security risks.

Micro-X's Argus technology offers a powerful solution, providing deployable tools that elevate search capabilities through wide-view backscatter imaging. This advanced technology allows teams to see through barriers and identify concealed items without invasive procedures.

Argus enhances security efforts through applications such as:

  • Visual and listening device detection
  • Locating hidden contraband in walls, doors, packages, and vehicles
  • Supporting forensic investigations
  • Conducting security sweeps for potential threats

Enhanced Airport Security

As global travel grows, the need for faster, safer airport security has never been more critical. Passengers travelling on planes must pass through a sequential screening process with many different screening steps and critical decision points.

Micro-X's innovative technology reimagines airport security with a comprehensive solution that enhances both efficiency and safety at different points in the customer’s journey:

  • Checkpoint Security: Streamlined processes reduce passenger wait times and improve throughout.
  • Threat Detection: Enhanced capabilities effectively identify and mitigate risks.
  • Discrete Searches: Non-intrusive scans detect hidden threats without drawing attention.
  • Baggage Scanning for Staff and Passengers: High-resolution imaging ensures thorough inspection of all luggage types.

Entry Screening

As global security demands continue to rise, efficient and thorough entry screening has become essential for large events, VIP security, and building security. Traditional methods, like handheld metal detectors and manual bag checks, are time-consuming, prone to human error, and often miss contemporary threats such as organic materials and hidden compartments.

  • Event Security: Ensures safe and secure entry for large gatherings.
  • Offices: Enhances security in corporate environments.
  • Law Courts: Provides reliable screening for judicial facilities.
  • VIP Events: Secures high-profile gatherings with precision.
  • Package and Bag Screening: Efficiently scans items for hidden threats.
  • Building Security Checkpoints: Strengthens security at access points.
  • Border Control: Improves the effectiveness of security measures.
  • Train and Bus Stations: Safeguards public transportation hubs.
  • Cruise Ship Terminals: Ensures secure embarkation and debarkation.

Future Use Cases

CT for Non-destructive Testing

Customizable and versatile imaging solutions are essential for non-destructive testing (NDT) in various industries. Traditional CT systems often come with design limitations. To address this, a lightweight and simple CT design can be developed to meet customer needs. With the flexible design, any shape array can be created, offering unparalleled adaptability for NDT applications.

This advanced imaging solution can be applied in various non-destructive testing scenarios:

  • Manufacturing: Tailored CT setups enable precise examination of products, detecting flaws or defects early in the process.
  • Food Processing: Specialized CT configurations can be employed to inspect food products for contamination or defect.
  • Oil & Gas/Maritime: CT imaging is used for condition monitoring and in-service inspections of pipelines, storage tanks, and marine vessels. It detects internal cracks, weld inclusions, and structural variations, ensuring asset integrity and compliance with safety standards.
