Bumper-to-bumper X-ray imaging and full-time material discrimination in a modular, compact, easy-to-deploy configuration

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan integrated inspection system is a powerful, practical solution for inspecting vehicles and cargo in high-volume operations. The system can scan 150 or more vehicles per hour, bumper to bumper and roof to axles, including occupants.

The system’s high-energy X-ray provides detailed images, even through heavy shielding, and can distinguish organic threats from inorganic material. Its radiation sensing system can detect, locate and categorize nuclear threats. Its optical character recognition system (OCR) can identify containers as they are scanned. And its searchable database component integrates and delivers images and data on demand.

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system requires no civil works—it can be installed directly on an existing concrete or asphalt pad—and its low radiation dose allows operation in extremely small spaces with absolutely no need for shield walls or containment buildings.

A POWERFUL, PRACTICAL SCANNING SOLUTION

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system combines powerful scanning technologies in a fast, compact unit.

• High-energy X-ray imaging. The system can reveal threats and contraband through a foot of steel. And its low radiation dose increases safety and dramatically reduces space requirements.
• Full-time dual-energy material discrimination. The system distinguishes light, organic material from dense, inorganic material in cargo areas.
• Radiation sensing option. The system can detect and locate even heavily shielded special nuclear material (SNM) with a false alarm rate of less than 1 in 10,000 — meeting or exceeding the American National Standards Institute’s challenging N42.35-2006 standard. An advanced option also categorizes the nature of the threat, greatly reducing secondary inspection requirements.
• Container identification option. The system’s OCR component automatically identifies containers as they are scanned.

The system quickly integrates the scanning images and data for each vehicle. Security personnel can review the images and data at any time.

FAST AND COMPACT

The VACIS IP6500 FullScan system can scan more than 150 vehicles per hour as they drive through without stopping. With a typical operating footprint of just 8.5 by 3 meters—barely larger than the system itself—the system is perfect for use in tight spaces.
