Millimeterwave screening for loss prevention

Authors: Andreas Hägele, Dr. Christoph Baur, Peter Walhöfer

Loss 방지를 위한 인원 검색, 직원 검색, 데이터 센터 보안, 고가 제품 제조, 이벤트 보안 등을 실시하려면 금속 탐지 시스템 이용과 함께 물리적 검사, 몸수색과 같이 사람이 직접 수행하는 조치도 함께 수행해야 합니다. 이와 같이 기존 방식으로 인원을 점검하는 검색 기술이 성능 과제와 충원 요구사항을 해결하지 못함에 따라, 기존의 보안 검색 비즈니스의 조달 및 운영에 대한 투자는 지속적으로 감소하고 있습니다.

The cost of loss is rising

According to the US Chamber of Commerce, 75% of employees steal from their workplace.

A 2020 report by the Association of Fraud Examiners states that the average loss from asset misappropriation is USD 85,000. IBM® Cognos® Analytics reports that theft incidents per company increased from 1% in 2016 to 3.2% in 2019.

The “10-10-80 Rule” says that 10% of employees never steal, 10% will steal whenever possible, and 80% may steal if it is easy and the personal risk is low. Worryingly, 82% of security teams are understaffed, increasing the likelihood of errors. Therefore, combining trained security staff with state-of-the-art AI-based screening is the most effective approach to deterring theft in that vulnerable 80%.

Loss isn’t limited to material goods: data is one of the most valuable assets. Data loss, IP theft, or sabotage can be financially devastating and damage a company’s reputation. As a result, data centers are rapidly increasing their physical security investments, with the market growing over 7% annually.

Loss typically begins with theft or sabotage. Dangerous items such as explosives, weapons, chemicals, drugs and other harmful substances can be stolen for criminal purposes. Likewise, organizations must prevent dangerous materials or threats from entering their facilities.

The solution: AI-powered millimeterwave screening

The most effective approach to loss prevention is combining qualified security staff with AI-based millimeterwave screening to identify concealed items — fast, safe, convenient and sustainable.

Rohde & Schwarz provides advanced security solutions for a wide range of businesses with its R&S®QPS product family, including the R&S®QPS201 and R&S®QPS Walk2000. Both systems use touchless, safe and comfortable millimeterwave screening for reliable, automated threat detection.
