Learn about the Rohde & Schwarz and Garrett partnership to provide an integrated solution for high security applications.
The combination of metal detectors with mmWave security scanners provides the highest detection capability and comfort for certain loss prevention use cases and in correctional facilities. It is ideal where the detection of the smallest or internally concealed metallic objects is needed but also delivers the highest level of detection capabilities for e.g. non-metallic items or metallic powders with efficient and intuitive procedures with the QPS201. A largely unknown fact is that despite being of metallic origin, many substances are only reliably discovered by metal detectors in their solid, bulk form. The Rohde & Schwarz's QPS201 security scanner augments the detection with metallic powders, granules, and compounds in a liquid or chemical. The metal detector on the other hand is capable of spotting metallic objects in skin folds, body cavities, and inside the mouth of persons, all of which are especially important for correctional facility security.
The integrated solution not only enhances the detection of threats but also respects the personal boundaries of those screened, demonstrating the future of comprehensive and respectful security measures. The combined solution is user-friendly and can be fully managed via the QPS201 display with an integrated alarm results display. The screening procedure is fully contactless and neither mmWave nor metal detection pose health risks to security operators or scanned persons, because unlike X-rays, the levels of emissions by these devices are much lower than the levels of electromagnetic radiation that are naturally present in the environment.
