The CEIA SAMDEX is an advanced shoe screening system designed to detect metallic weapons, explosives, and contraband concealed in footwear.
It uses CEIA’s proprietary technology to perform fast, accurate analysis without requiring individuals to remove their shoes.
SAMDEX enhances security and efficiency at airports, government facilities, courthouses, and high-security buildings, providing a reliable, non-invasive solution for detecting threats in footwear and lower body areas.
The SAMDEX uses multi-zone electromagnetic detection technology to identify metallic and explosive components hidden in shoes.
It scans both the soles and sides of footwear for ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as metal components commonly found in weaponry and improvised explosive devices.
The system analyzes the magnetic and conductive properties of materials, triggering an alarm when a potential threat is detected—all while individuals keep their shoes on, reducing screening times.
The SAMDEX is typically installed at security checkpoints, especially in airports, courthouses, embassies, military bases, and correctional facilities.
It is also used in critical infrastructure sites where complete body and footwear screening is required.
The unit is designed for standalone operation or integration with walk-through metal detectors, making it suitable for both permanent and temporary security installations.
Shoe screening is critical because footwear often conceals prohibited items, including metallic weapons, blades, or explosive materials.
Traditional walk-through detectors may not always capture low-positioned threats effectively.
The SAMDEX eliminates this vulnerability by specifically focusing on the foot and ankle area, ensuring comprehensive screening without slowing down checkpoint operations.
Yes.
The SAMDEX can detect ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and alloys.
This dual detection capability allows it to identify a wide range of concealed weapons and metallic threats regardless of their composition, ensuring high detection accuracy in every screening scenario.
No.
The SAMDEX allows individuals to keep their shoes on during screening.
It is specifically designed to detect metallic threats without any need for shoe removal, significantly speeding up security checks and improving throughput in high-traffic environments like airports and stadiums.
The SAMDEX performs a complete shoe and lower leg scan in just a few seconds.
It provides real-time detection results through visual and audio indicators, allowing security staff to make quick, confident decisions.
This fast processing speed reduces bottlenecks and helps maintain efficient flow at busy checkpoints.
Yes.
The SAMDEX is fully compatible with CEIA walk-through metal detectors, X-ray systems, and access control devices.
It can be integrated into multi-layered security setups to create a unified checkpoint solution.
This interoperability ensures consistent screening coverage across all detection zones while streamlining the operator interface and data reporting.
The SAMDEX is designed for simple installation and intuitive operation.
It requires minimal setup and can be configured for use in both fixed and mobile screening environments.
Operators are guided by clear LED indicators and optional display units that show alarm zones in real time.
The system is self-calibrating and requires little maintenance, making it ideal for continuous, unattended operation.

No more removing footwear at security checkpoints! The SAMDEX system allows passengers to keep their shoes on throughout the screening process. Simply place your foot on the marked footprint area and let the technology do the work.
In just 4 seconds per shoe, SAMDEX thoroughly scans for both metallic and non-metallic threats. The advanced bulk detection technology measures actual material properties to identify potential dangers while you remain comfortable and standing.
Security staff receive immediate "OK/ALARM" results on the bright display screen. This straightforward process eliminates X-ray checks, reduces lines, and speeds up the entire checkpoint experience – keeping airport traffic moving up to five times faster than conventional systems.
