Which detectors for checking for prohibited weapons?

A single device rarely covers all requirements. In practice you combine walk-through detector, X-ray baggage scanner and hand detector into a setup that fits the checking goal. Which combination makes sense depends on the place of use.

The right setup by place of use

Public authorities and courts. Local courts, regional courts, museums, banks or universities check at the entrance for firearm, stabbing and cutting weapons. The combination of walk-through detector, X-ray scanner and hand detector makes sense.

Custody and high security. In correctional facilities, clinics, at the police, customs or the military, the highest security level applies, with high sensitivity and good interference suppression. Visitors and inmates alike are checked. Walk-through and hand detectors make sense.

Events. In stadiums, exhibition halls or at concerts, person screening has to stay fast and still accurate. Walk-through detector and hand-held wand form the basic framework.

Passenger transport. At airports, railway stations and ports, luggage is checked in addition to person screening. For this, walk-through detector, X-ray scanner with roller table and hand detector come together.

Personal protection. At private occasions or in personal protection, the concept tailored to the situation counts. Here the hand detector is often enough.

Theft protection. At staff exits in industry, warehousing and retail, walk-through detectors protect against stock loss, with a baggage scanner where needed. The staffing effort stays minimal, and the monitoring runs on the network.
