Planning and Design
___

Future-ready screening starts with robust design and smart planning.

Designing a new screening setup is about more than choosing the right equipment. It requires a deep understanding of how people move, how systems interact, and how all components come together in a live operational setting.

From vision to integrated screening operations

No two checkpoints are the same. Each has its own profile shaped by passengers, procedures, performance goals, staffing and space. Designing the right solution starts with defining a unique baseline - gut feeling is not enough.

We create checkpoints that fit seamlessly into their operational context through a holistic assessment of assets, processes and people. At Point FWD, we guide our clients step by step. From establishing a baseline to modelling scenarios and validating solutions, always backed by data and functional design.

The result is a checkpoint you can trust: efficient, compliant and sustainable, built on measurable performance rather than assumptions.

Airport security checkpoint operations

Industry focus: Airports & Aviation
___

Across the world, airports are transitioning to a new regulatory security baseline, introducing CT, ATRS, security scanners and updated CONOPS. This shift impacts every layer of the operation: layout, staffing, flow, compliance, procurement and passenger experience. We guide airports through that transition with a clear, structured approach. From initial business case and capacity studies, to functional checkpoint design, vendor-neutral procurement support and implementation guidance. We help align strategic decisions with operational impact, and make sure your screening setup is ready for what’s next.

Adjacent industries

From high-security entry points at government facilities to workforce screening at logistics hubs, we design screening environments that are compliant, space-efficient and user-focused. Our concepts cover both permanent infrastructure and temporary screening setups, always tailored to local policy and operational demands.

Typical project types 

airport and security consultant
Security warehouse and logistics

Warehouse & Logistics - Planning & Design

Security checkpoint design study

Operational and technical design of new or upgraded checkpoints, including layout development, functional lane definition, technology planning and passenger flow simulation. Often focused on CT, ATRS and security scanner integration in line with ECAC/EU regulations and airport-specific CONOPS.

Aviation - Planning & Design

Security concept development


For (non)aviation environments, we define tailored screening concepts, taking into account access protocols, risk profiles, staffing models and regulatory compliance. This includes concept-of-operations development and equipment guidance.

Innovative security concepts

Exploratory research and functional design of future-focused screening approaches, such as self-service security concepts or integrated biometric flow concepts. We assess feasibility and performance through simulations, stakeholder workshops and system-level design reviews. 

Security detention and defence organisations

All industries - Planning & Design

Procurement support & tender preparation

We translate operational needs into tender-ready documentation, from functional requirements and evaluation matrices to vendor proposal reviews and implementation roadmaps. 

We develop checkpoints that are fit for operation. 

We do so by applying modelling and simulation methodologies, before moving towards real-airport / on-premise implementation and validation.
