Every time we go to the airport we always encountered their x-ray machines, but imagine if we can apply these x-ray machines to detect explosives and contrabands in vehicles. The American Science and Engineering announced their second generation Z Portal, a high-throughput, drive-through cargo and vehicle screening system with multi-view Z Backscatter imaging to detect stowaways, explosives, and other contraband. It generates images from three sides of the object under examination—for left, right, and top-down screening of the cargo.
“With its leaner streamlined design, Z Portal provides the safest and most effective drive-through screening system for congested security checkpoints,” said Robert Postle, AS&E’s Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Sales. “Z Portal’s use of AS&E’s proprietary Z Backscatter technology allows for safe scanning of the entire vehicle so that the driver can remain in the cab. This significantly speeds up the screening process and facilitates the flow of traffic at checkpoints and border crossings. Z Portal offers our customers a flexible design, available in two sizes, that is easily integrated with existing high-energy inspection systems for maximum detection capability.”
AS&E’s Z Portal is a multi-view, drive-through inspection system capable of scanning cars, vans, trucks, and their cargo for concealed threats and contraband. The Z Portal produces photo-like images, which offer material discrimination and highlight organic contraband, such as, explosives, drugs, stowaways, and alcohol. With its compact profile, the Z Portal system is ideal for high-traffic locations with space constraints and a high-throughput requirement. The Z Portal system is safe for drivers, operators, cargo, and the environment. The system can be configured with up to three Z Backscatter imaging modules and provides a left, right, and top-down view of the vehicles under examination. The relocatable screening system is available in two sizes — one for large trucks, buses, and cargo vehicles, and a smaller size for passenger vehicles.
