Smiths Detection has embarked on a new partnership with SeeTrue, a provider of AI-based threat detection software

Smiths Detection has successfully integrated and tested SeeTrue's technology into its advanced CT security checkpoint systems with the combined solution now ready for implementation pending certification.

SeeTrue’s Prohibited Items Detection Software (APIDS ready) engine has been fully integrated, tested, and is now ready for implementation with Smiths Detection’s HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX to provide advanced carry-on baggage screening using computed tomography (CT). Combining Smiths automatic explosives detection algorithms with SeeTrue’s prohibited items detection algorithms will provide unparalleled levels of security and operational efficiency for customers, according to the new partners. The combination of the SeeTrue algorithmic solution with Smith’s HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX will undergo ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference) testing in the upcoming months.

The collaboration was undertaken as part of Smiths Detection’s Ada Initiative. This is an official process which effectively ‘onboards’ new suppliers, to ensure that hardware, software, and algorithms from various products and suppliers work together seamlessly according to responsible Open Architecture principles.

Cymoril Metivier,  global director digital market, Smiths Detection, said: “Smiths Detection’s partnership with SeeTrue is a key step in advancing the Open Architecture (OA) initiative. We completed interoperability testing with SeeTrue’s AI threat detection software and our systems, ensuring it aligns with the principles of the Ada Initiative. This is a Smiths Detection-lead initiative which seeks to speed up OA adoption without compromising performance.”
