Changi Airport Upgrading T2 Security with 20 HI-SCAN 10080 XCT EDS

Singapore's Changi Airport has started the installation process of 20 units of ultra-high speed Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 10080 XCT automatic explosives detection systems (EDS).

The 20 HI-SCAN 10080 XCT units will be installed over four years as part of the redevelopment of Terminal 2 Baggage Handling System.

Aside from the installation project, there is also a maintenance option for Smiths Detection to provide on-site service maintenance includes comprehensive hardware and software support.

John Tan, Smiths Detection’s Managing Director, Asia, said, “Before the aviation sector was disrupted by COVID19, Changi Airport was one of the busiest airports in the world requiring high volumes of baggage screening, and our next-generation technology helps support this implementation. We are confident that this partnership with Changi Airport Group will lead the way in driving higher standards for future adoption.”

The HI-SCAN 10080 XCT is both TSA certified and ECAC Standard 3.1 approved. It features a combined dual-energy X-  ay line scanner and leverages CT technology to produce high resolution 3D images for an optimised detection performance.

 With a belt speed of 0.5m/s, the HI-SCAN 10080 XCT provides a throughput of up to 1800 bags/hour, making the screening process faster and more efficient.
