New Scanning Technology Introduced by Smiths Detection

Smiths Detection has introduced the SDX 10060 XDi, a state-of-the-art X-ray Diffraction scanner that is revolutionizing security screening. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) technology is known for its ability to accurately discriminate between materials and identify substances based on their molecular structure. This makes it particularly effective in detecting new compounds in powder, liquid, or solid forms, such as homemade explosives or narcotics, even when they have similar densities.

The SDX 10060 XDi is designed to streamline the screening process for large volumes of baggage and materials, automating the resolution of potential explosive alarms to enhance both security and efficiency. This technology can also be utilized by customs agencies to detect contraband items like narcotics, addressing the growing threats to society.

Jerome de Chassey, President of Smiths Detection, expressed pride in the launch of the SDX 10060 XDi, highlighting the role of threat detection and security screening technology in protecting people and infrastructure. X-ray Diffraction is seen as a future-proof solution for various industries, with Smiths Detection playing a crucial role in shaping the landscape of threat detection.

The SDX 10060 XDi represents a significant advancement in security screening, offering advanced capabilities to safeguard against evolving threats and contribute to a safer world.
