Cargo Screening Detectors

Systems use non-intrusive inspection to examine shipments without opening them.

Typical steps include barcode capture, weighing and dimensioning, X-ray or CT imaging, automated threat detection, and alarm resolution at a review station.

Results are logged to a case file and can sync to a WMS or TMS.

Risk rules and watchlists route suspect items for secondary checks such as explosive trace detection or manual inspection.

Effective screening prevents weapons, explosives, drugs, and hazardous materials from moving through commerce and reduces theft and fraud.

It helps operators meet regulatory obligations, protect staff and facilities, and keep lanes flowing by applying risk-based rules instead of blanket inspections.

Strong screening programs also lower insurance exposure and improve customer trust by proving chain-of-custody and compliance.

Common technologies include high-energy X-ray for trucks and containers, multi-view X-ray and CT for pallets and parcels, backscatter X-ray, radiation portal monitors and gamma or neutron spectroscopy for radiological threats, explosive trace detection, canine screening, and AI-assisted image analysis.

Many sites layer these with access control, CCTV, and license plate recognition for a unified security posture.

Yes.

Non-intrusive inspection uses transmission or backscatter X-ray and related sensors to see inside containers, trailers, and ULDs without breaking seals.

Operators review images, auto-detected anomalies, and manifest data to decide if a seal should be broken for secondary inspection.

This preserves chain-of-custody while keeping throughput high.

Throughput depends on modality, policy, and load geometry.

Parcel and pallet systems can process hundreds of items per hour with automated conveyors and image analytics.

Drive-through or gantry systems can scan trucks and containers in minutes when lanes and traffic control are optimized.

Clearly defined alarm-resolution workflows are key to sustaining peak rates.

Cargo screening targets firearms and weapon parts, explosives and detonators, narcotics, radiological and nuclear materials, currency and contraband, and fraud indicators such as load density mismatches.

Layered systems also flag tampering and manifest discrepancies by correlating images, weights, and declared contents.

They are deployed in seaports, air cargo terminals, land borders, express parcel hubs, FTZs, rail intermodal yards, and high-value distribution centers.

Many operators screen both inbound and outbound shipments to meet TSA, CBP, IATA, ICAO, WCO SAFE, and C-TPAT program requirements.

Yes.

The systems we offer provide APIs and connectors for WMS, TMS, ERP, and customs filing platforms.

Integration enables automatic work orders, image archiving tied to shipment IDs, exception handling, and compliance reporting.

Sites often link screening events to access control and camera systems for full audit trails.
