For non-metallic containers, the Insight200M system uses proprietary SORS (spatially offset Raman spectroscopy) technology. Metal containers are screened using a secondary sensor. The system has an exceptionally high detection performance, coupled with an ultra-low false alarm rate (FAR).
Insight systems have been widely deployed at airports throughout the EU, with additional installations in Africa, Asia and Australasia. Systems operate either as a stand-alone unit or commonly in combination with Type C (C2 or C3) explosive detection systems for cabin baggage. Typical false alarm rates in such combinations are consistently the best available, compared to systems from other manufacturers.

System Operation

The Insight200M easily screens partially filled containers, as well as STEBS and unusual bottle shapes and sizes. The system has no problem screening containers of 10mL or greater as well as large containers up to 3L. The Insight200M can also screen for flammable liquids.

The Insight range has a very high operational reliability, consistently demonstrating >99.7% operational availability in the field. As an optional add-on, Insight systems can be continuously monitored and managed by a centralized software system, the Overview Management Server, enabling scheduled reporting for regulatory compliance monitoring.
