Smiths Detection is a global leader in threat detection and security screening technology that helps to make the world a safer place. Since 2007, we have supplied Heathrow Airport with aviation security technology, including conventional X-ray systems (CXS), Explosive Detection systems (EDS) and more recently Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray systems to screen checked and carry-on baggage for explosives and other prohibited items that meet the highest security standards, improve operational efficiency and create a better passenger experience. In 2020, Heathrow – a leader in the adoption of advanced technology – once again selected Smiths Detection to supply our industry leading checkpoint CT X-ray that will not only ensure that Heathrow meets the latest UK security requirements, but will transform the passenger screening experience by allowing passengers to leave liquids and laptops in their carry-on luggage as they go through security. Day-to-day Smiths Detection supports Heathrow with 24/7 service and support to minimize any operational downtime – helping to ensure that Heathrow achieve their security and operational goals.
