Challenge
Exruptive is an innovative security equipment developer based in Denmark, working towards an EDSCB-C3 approved and market-ready version of their Trolley Security Scanner. In their concept the traditional sequential processes of preparation and reclaim are made easier by using a special trolley that goes directly into their advanced X-ray system. Belongings are to be scanned by a fixed-gantry multi-energy X-ray system and this enables passengers to leave all items in their bags, such as Electronics and Liquids. After passengers are screened successfully, they can continue their journey in the airport with that same trolley.
Point FWD act as a long-term partner and assists Exruptive in the development of their Trolley Security Scanner, and make it fit within the operational boundaries of the AVSEC industry.
Approach and Output
Along the way, Point FWD has supported Exruptive with several key topics on their development path. One of the focus points from start of our partnership has been guidance on the regulatory and legislative requirements for developing x-ray technology for the AVSEC market.
Point FWD will define, organise and execute the test programme as a rehearsal preparation towards ECAC CEP.
Furthermore, initial scope testing on the first prototype version of the scanner line has been performed by Point FWD in order to asses the equipment on performance and operational readiness, as well as to capture operational images of actual passenger baggage.
Point FWD further assists Exruptive in the final development stage of their technology by setting the requirements for the end-user functionality of the Trolley Security Scanner. This has included the definition of implementation scenarios for the various processes of divest and trolley dispensing, but also detailed studies on the image representation and operator interface when screening images.
Point FWD acts as the AVSEC specialist on board of Exruptive, continuously supporting Exruptive with ideas for the integration of the scanner line into airport environments and contributing in the CONOPs definition for operational usage
In the near future, a new prototype will be ready. Point FWD will define, organise and execute the test programme as a rehearsal preparation towards ECAC CEP. The outcome of the pre-ECAC test will give insights in detection performance, functional performance and operational readiness.
