Smiths Detection has announced the sale of its 2,000th HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX, an industry-leading 3D X-ray scanner featuring high-resolution computed tomography images and AI-driven automatic detection capabilities.
The scanner is deployed at more than 100 airports across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas. Operational experience has shown consistent benefits, including fewer false alarms for faster, more reliable screening. In eligible locations, passengers no longer need to remove laptops or liquids from their bags, helping to reduce congestion at security checkpoints.
Matt Clark, Vice President Commercial at Smiths Detection, stated that the sale of the 2,000th HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is a powerful endorsement of the trust airports around the world place in Smiths Detection. He noted that the company’s technology is helping airports improve passenger flow, strengthen security outcomes, and stay ahead of evolving threats through intelligent, AI-enabled screening solutions.
With thousands of systems installed worldwide, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX has become a global benchmark for aviation security screening. Backed by an industry-leading training and aftercare programme, it is designed to meet the demands of today’s airports and adapt to those of tomorrow.
