Advanced X-Ray scanners installed at
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata
In an effort to ensure effective
identification of various prohibited luggage hidden in the
luggage of passengers in the midst of growing threats,
advanced X-ray scanners have been installed at Netaji
Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata.
The newly deployed X-ray scanners were inaugurated by Kolkata
Airport Director Shri Kaushik Bhattacharjee along
with other officials of Kolkata Airport.
Vehant Technologies, a pioneer in artificial
intelligence and machine learning-based surveillance, has
installed two Kritiscan 100100 Dual View scanner for
check-in luggage/ random luggage and two Kritiscan
6040DV X-Ray scanners have been installed for safety
check-in at the airport. Having double view scanners
enhances the ability to identify potential security threats
with double machine accuracy and speed. Kritiscan Dual View
is an advanced dual energy X-ray baggage scanner designed
and developed by Vehant Technologies.
Mr. Kapil Bardeja, CEO and Co Founder, Vehant
Technologies said, “We noted that the Bureau of Civil
Aviation Security last year had notified that all the X-ray
scanners installed in airports should be dual-view machines.
We, at Vehant Technologies have been working on dual-view
X-ray machines for nearly three years and considering our
expertise in this domain, we are in a favourable position to
provide the scanners at much lower prices as compared to
that of the European and American manufacturers.“
The traditional baggage scanners work on X-ray attenuation
technology. The detection of objects which pose a threat
relies on how various objects attenuate the X-ray beams
passing through them. Of late, this capability has been
enhanced by the use of dual-energy and dual view X-ray
scanners. A dual-view scanner will be able to give a
multi-dimensional view of the contents helping security
personnel detect prohibited objects.
The indigenous manufacture of high quality X-ray scanners
has come as a blessing to Indian airports as earlier wait
was too long, after placing the orders. The indigenous
manufacturers will help overcome delays in the import of
X-ray scanners and do away with the issues concerning
maintenance of the equipment. I have also attached
the detailed press note for your kind reference. Request if
the same can be carried in your esteemed publication. DO let
me know in case you need anything else from my side.
Look forward to your continuous support as always.
