Upgrades Available for VIS 108 and eXaminer 3DX

Upgrade Your VIS 108 to EU Standard 2 Requirements

VIS 108

Performed in the field, the VIS-HR Upgrade includes:

1. Updated card cage assemblies with high performance compute groups
2. High-powered DC X-ray source
3. Finer pitch detector array for better resolution

The VIS-HR upgrade package extends the utility of existing VIS 108 systems by raising the compliance level of the VIS 108 from EU Standard 1 to Standard 2. Building on industry-leading technology, the VIS-HR delivers improved image quality, unsurpassed automated explosives detection and throughput rates up to 1,800 bags per hour. The multilevel VIS-HR makes fast, accurate, automated decisions and provides the data image analysts need to render Level 2 decisions while continuing to screen baggage without an interruption in flow. The VIS-HR upgrade is the best value choice for space-conscious VIS 108 owners that need fast, powerful, EU Standard 2-compliant explosives detection.

eXaminer® Algorithm Software Upgrade Reduces False Alarm Rate As Much As 20%

examiner

Thirty-two eXaminer 3DX units with new 65.3 software have been purchased by the TSA, along with 65.3 software upgrade packages for approximately 100 units currently deployed in the field.

The TSA-certified 65.3 software upgrade for eXaminer 3DX systems enhances explosives detection, operational efficiency and baggage throughput by significantly reducing false alarms and the time and labor required to resolve them.

In real-world conditions, the improved algorithm software has been shown to reduce false alarm rates by 20% on average to unprecedented low levels, assuring a continuous flow of baggage, even at the busiest terminals. Fewer false alarms reduce operational labor costs associated with searching and reviewing alarmed bags.

This simple software upgrade—performed in the field—requires no additional equipment modifications or operator training and is available for in-line eXaminer 3DX systems equipped with version 5.2SP1 software and at least 4GB of memory.
