Douane Japan en Smiths Detection om bewaking te versterken met ultramodern inspectiesysteem
De Japanse havens in Kobe en Tokio beveiligen met hoogwaardige smokkelwaar detectie
TOKIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Smiths Detection, een wereldleider op het gebied van bedreigingsdetectie en beveiliging inspectie technologieën, heeft een contract gesloten met de Japanse douane voor de levering van twee Hi Energy 9 MeV, interlaced, dual view HCVS high-performance vracht inspectiesystemen voor het screenen van vrachtwagens en vrachtcontainers naar Tokyo Customs in Jyonanjima en Kobe Customs in Mizushima. Installaties starten in april 2022.
Dit verbeterde stationaire screening systeem voor röntgenstraling van HCVS maakt gebruik van een nieuw verbeterd transportband mechanisme dat de veiligheidscontroles optimaliseert door hele vrachtwagens (inclusief cabine), containers en voertuigen te scannen op bedreigingen en smokkelwaar. Met het vermogen om onderscheid te maken tussen organische en anorganische materialen, vermindert de HCVS de noodzaak voor handmatige inspectie en produceert het snelle en betrouwbare resultaten. Het wordt al ingezet in verschillende havens in Japan en in internationale havens zoals de Belgische haven van Antwerpen en de haven van Haifa in Israël.
Japan Customs and Smiths Detection to boost surveillance with state-of-the-art inspection system
Securing Japan’s ports in Kobe and Tokyo with high-performance contraband detection
TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security inspection technologies, has secured a contract with Japan Customs to provide two Hi Energy 9 MeV, interlaced, dual view HCVS high-performance cargo inspection systems for screening trucks and cargo containers to Tokyo Customs at Jyonanjima and Kobe Customs at Mizushima. Installations will start in April 2022.
This improved HCVS X-ray stationary screening system utilizes a new upgraded conveyor mechanism which optimises security checks by scanning whole trucks (cabin included), containers, and vehicles for threats and contraband. With the ability to discriminate between organic and inorganic materials, the HCVS reduces the need for manual inspection while producing rapid and reliable results. It is already deployed at various ports across Japan and at international ports such as Belgium’s Port of Antwerp and Israel’s Haifa Port.
Japan is the world’s fourth largest importer and exporter of goods, making trade essential for its economy. In August 2021, imports and exports rose by over 20 percent year on year as Japan’s economy continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic1.
“As the volume of goods and trade increases globally, being technologically innovative is vital for establishing trust between stakeholders and maintaining the flow of goods through our local and global markets,” said Kevin Davies, Smiths Detection, Global Director Ports and Borders. “Smiths Detection is proud to support Tokyo and Kobe Customs in creating the safest port environments possible. With state-of-the-art technology and our global team, we look forward to strengthening the region’s ease of trade and securing movements of cargo around the world.”
