Rohde & Schwarz’s QPS201 security scanner is integrated with Garrett’s walk-through metal detector. For high-risk situations like prisons or loss prevention in the precious metals sector, the combined solution is perfect.
The QPS201 uses state-of-the-art millimeterwave (mmWave) technology to detect any kind of object, regardless of its material.
By detecting incredibly small or internally concealed metallic threats, the Garrett Paragon walk-through metal detector notably enhances mmWave detection in high-security screening circumstances, adding an extra layer of protection against concealed body-borne objects.
For some loss prevention use cases including in prisons, the combination of metal detectors with mmWave security scanners offers the best detection capability and comfort.
In addition to providing the highest level of detection capabilities for, say, non-metallic items or metallic powders with effective and user-friendly procedures, the QPS201 is perfect for situations when the identification of the smallest or internally concealed metallic particles is required.
The fact that many compounds are only successfully detected by metal detectors in their solid, bulk state, even though they are of metallic origin, is a little-known fact.
The QPS201 security scanner from Rohde & Schwarz enhances detection by adding metallic compounds, grains, and powders to a liquid or chemical. On the other hand, the metal detector can identify metallic objects in a person’s mouth, body cavities, and skin folds—all of which are crucial for jail security.
The future of thorough and considerate security measures is demonstrated by the integrated solution, which not only improves danger detection but also respects the privacy of those screened. Through result tracking and interaction with CCTV, accurate zone line marking makes focused inspection much simpler and offers trustworthy forensic proof in the event of an incident.
The QPS201 display, which also has an integrated alarm results display, makes the combined solution easy to use and completely control.
The screening process is completely contactless, and neither metal detection nor mmWave pose health risks to security personnel or those being scanned because, in contrast to X-rays, the emissions from these devices are significantly less than the levels of electromagnetic radiation found in the surrounding environment.
Leadership Comments
“Combining the distinct capabilities of metal detectors and mmWave security scanners is what the market demanded from us for highest-level security screening procedures in the precious metals industry and for prisons”, says Andreas Haegele, VP Microwave Imaging at Rohde & Schwarz. “By this integration, both Garrett and we are adding an additional layer of security to our individual offering for the benefit of our joint customers.”
“Garrett is pleased to collaborate with Rohde & Schwarz to bring to market a thoughtful integration of two powerful technologies. This new capability will help our customers create safer environments for people to work, learn, and travel in, and will enable innovative new counter-contraband and loss prevention strategies” says Steve Novakovich, CEO of Garrett Electronics.
