Smiths Detection has deployed a fully
operational multi-site central image processing and management
solution for DHL Express Australia.
The solution connects existing Smiths Detection
HI-SCAN 10080 EDX-2is high-speed automatic explosive detection
scanners at sites in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane into one
intelligent network that allows all X-ray images to be analysed at
a single central location and provides consolidated data analytics
and insights.
The intelligent centralised screening solution
will enable DHL Express Australia to optimise staffing rostering,
as well as significantly increase the utilisation of its security
operators while reducing overall operational expenditure.
The technology will be used for the safe and
efficient screening of international air freight, in line with
both TSA and Australian regulations.
“Remote screening and the use of a central
management system provides the user with operational data from
across the screening process, generating invaluable insights while
making it easier to screen for threats and monitor overall
performance. The platform can also be easily expanded to include
more security screening equipment,” said Ajay Sankaran, Managing
Director of Australia & Sales Director South Asia, Smiths
Detection. “The initiative has significantly contributed to the
improvement of DHL air cargo examination in all key areas of
measurement: screener utilisation, which has resulted in a greater
than 40% reduction in X-ray operator hours; decision times and
compliance driven by collocation in a purpose-designed screening
room; and reduction in insider threat risk due to the separation
of the screener from the physical freight. These improvements have
been facilitated by the vastly enhanced visibility associated with
the centralisation of management.”
