SECURITY APPLICATIONS ADVANCEMENT AT AAT -

INTRODUCING A NEW X-RAY MACHINE WITH "DUAL VIEW" AND "AUTOMATIC DETECTION"

AAT is pleased to introduce further stringent upgrade of the security application for X-ray screening from September 2015. With increasing global concern and heightened aviation security in the industry, AAT has installed a new Smiths Detection X-ray machine to enhance the quality and reliability of security screening. The new X-ray machine also meets the security requirement set by the Hong Kong Aviation Security Programme and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

 

Automatic Detection of Weapons, Explosives and Narcotics

The advanced content tracking function of the new X-ray machine, named X-ACT, offers an automated procedure for recognizing any suspicious objects including weapons, explosives and narcotics in cargo shipments. The suspicious objects will be color-framed according to their material origin. This tool assists our professional X-ray machine operator by localizing suspicious zones in an object. Our operator can also be alerted for further inspection as the alarm will be triggered off and the conveyor belt will be automatically stopped.

 

Reliable and Effective Inspection by Dual View

The new X-ray machine is equipped with two generators arranged in a 90° opposition, thus beaming in two directions (Dual View). This particular screening mode facilitates reliable inspections of tightly packed objects in one process while shortening inspection times and increasing effectiveness of our screening procedures.

This new X-ray machine is conveniently located at 1st floor of AAT Terminal 2. The overall process of export cargo checking is streamlined to achieve higher operational efficiency and time-saving benefits. The security level for cargo acceptance has also been further enhanced as the automatic detection function fastens and improves the quality of recognition.

Mr. Khaw Hock Eng, General Manager of AAT said, "AAT remains in the forefront to innovate and introduce new services and facilitations to the air cargo industry. This new X-ray machine together with our highly reliable cargo operation services is important in response to the increasing global security concern and air logistics needs."
