Smiths Detection’s latest
automated detection algorithm has been designed to spot
currency.
iCMORE Currency can detect upward of 100 banknotes in US Dollar, Euro and
Saudi Riyal, rolled or stacked in hand luggage and daypacks.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs
and Crime, the estimated amount of money laundered globally in one
year is 2 – 5% of global GDP, or $800 billion – $2 trillion in
current US dollars.
Bulk currency is hard to distinguish from
other organic objects on the X-ray image, for example a bar of
soap, therefore it is incredibly difficult for security operators
to detect with current technology.
Smiths Detection’s latest automated detection algorithm has been designed to spot currency
iCMORE Currency is available immediately and
seamlessly integrated into the HI-SCAN 6040aTiX, HI-SCAN 6046si,
HI-SCAN 6040-2is, HI-SCAN 6040DV, HI-SCAN 7555si, and HI-SCAN
7555aTiX and will support customs and security operators at border
crossings, airports, cross border railway stations, cruise lines
and ports.
Cymoril Métivier, Digital Market Director, Smiths
Detection, said, “We are very pleased to announce iCMORE Currency,
the latest round of enhancements for our HI-SCAN series. Money
laundering is a global issue, it damages economies by removing
money that would otherwise go towards tax and investment, fuels
criminal activity and promotes the underground market for illicit
goods and services. iCMORE Currency will be a vital tool in the
ongoing fight against money laundering and equip customs operators
with easily adaptable technology, within existing Smiths Detection
scanning machines, across a wide variety of different scenarios,
without compromising speed, efficiency or accuracy.”
Elsewhere in the iCMORE family, Smiths Detection
has made iCMORE Weapons available for its entire conventional
x-ray (CXS) and explosives detection systems (EDS) fleet.
The
application of iCMORE Lithium Battery has also been extended to
all HI-SCAN 100100 scanners – to include the single view system
HI-SCAN 100100V/T as well as the HI-SCAN 100100V/T-2is.
With these
new applications, the company now has more than 50 iCMORE
unit-algorithm combinations available.
