Bridging the gap between innovation and operation in security screening solutions.
Technology and process development in (aviation) security is about making innovation work in practice. At Point FWD, we help airports, operators and equipment suppliers turn new solutions into success by combining independent expertise with data-driven analysis.
Our proposition: technology that truly works
New security technologies hold great promise, but success depends on how they perform in real-life checkpoint environments. Passenger behavior, operator interaction and complex process dependencies often make it difficult to reach the required performance levels. Bridging the gap between technical capability and operational reality is the true challenge.
At Point FWD, we help our clients and partners turn technology into operational success. With a holistic focus on assets, processes and people, we guide the development, testing and deployment of screening equipment and process innovations. Our independent, data-driven expertise ensures that new solutions are not just technically sound, but also operationally effective, compliant and future-proof.
Industry Highlight: Aviation
___
At Point FWD we support equipment suppliers in developing hardware and software solutions that are ready for operational implementation. We design and execute operational testing and approval programs, including ECAC readiness and large-scale data captures for detection technology. Developing Concepts of Operation (CONOPS) and procedures ensure optimal human-machine interaction and compliance with legislation. We also guide airports and OEMs through trial programs, validation cycles and performance assessments to achieve measurable improvements.

Other 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.
Technology and Process
Typical project types
Aviation - Technology and Process
Data collection for algorithm development
We support OEMs with in-house and on-site data collections that strengthen detection algorithms. Using threat items, simulants, passenger bag sets and diverse passenger profiles, we create realistic datasets for system training and validation. With dedicated facilities and full control over design, planning, execution and reporting, we deliver high-quality input that ensures better-performing solutions in live checkpoint environments.
Aviation & Beyond - Technology and Process
ECAC test guidance
We guide OEMs through ECAC testing, from preparation to execution. Our team supports in developing test plans, organizes threat item enrollment and conducts readiness assessments to ensure compliance. By combining technical expertise with hands-on support, we help suppliers navigate the certification process smoothly and achieve reliable approval outcome
All industries - Technology and Process
Product development for screening solutions
We support OEMs in shaping screening solutions that work in practice. From GUI design and end-user requirements to operator-focused interfaces and passenger-friendly concepts, we translate operational needs into functional designs that improve usability, compliance and checkpoint capacity.
