Redefining security screening with the power of AI
Redefining security screening with the power of AI
Security screening is a critical aspect of many industries from critical infrastructure to correctional facilities and loss prevention. However, traditional people screening methods, such as manual pat-downs or metal detectors, are increasingly unable to keep pace with today’s complex security applications and evolving threats. They are time consuming, invasive and limited in their detection capabilities, often missing a wide range of item types.
The solution? AI-powered millimeterwave (mmWave) security scanners, a cutting-edge, future-proof technology that allows all types of concealed items to be identified while being fast, accurate, convenient and safe.
The future of contactless security
Artificial intelligence based mmWave screening is a completely contactless security approach, detecting any kind of hidden objects such as weapons and dangerous materials like explosives, drugs, currency, jewelry and electronics, USB sticks and SD cards or even liquids, making them highly versatile for various security needs.
Enhancing staff efficiency and reducing fatigue
Security staff often work long hours of repetitive tasks which can lead to fatigue and reduced effectiveness. AI-powered scanners eliminate this issue by automating detection, thus allowing security teams to focus on decision-making rather than exhaustive manual inspections.
Safety and privacy assured
One common concern with advanced security technology is safety. However, mmWave scanners operate at power levels significantly lower than everyday devices such as Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth® devices and cell phones. MmWave signals penetrate clothing but are reflected of the skin and cannot penetrate the body, ensuring both user safety and privacy. AI software in the scanner analyzes the signal reflections and automatically detects and locates hidden objects displaying them on a gender-neutral avatar to the operator.
Powerful AI capabilities with neural networks
Rohde & Schwarz AI scanner software uses neural networks, a mathematical model that mimics the human brain. These networks are trained in a laboratory to recognize concealed items through a rigorous process involving millions of data points. By analyzing the unique reflections of mmWave signals in real time, the AI identifies anomalies with exceptional precision. Once the neural network is trained sufficiently, the detection algorithm is frozen. It is then combined with the scanner's other software, ready for use in the field.
Tailored detection for specific security needs
One of the standout features of AI-based mmWave screening is its adaptability. The software can be trained with detection capabilities for specific operational scenarios whether it’s preventing contraband in correctional facilities or safeguarding sensitive data in data centers. Rohde & Schwarz leverages a vast, ever-growing, database of objects made from all kinds of materials in all shapes and sizes. The company's database is constantly growing, with the data stored locally in a secure vault.
A new standard in security screening
AI-powered mmWave security scanners from Rohde & Schwarz are revolutionizing security by combining speed, accuracy, and adaptability. For security managers across industries — from loss prevention to border control — this technology provides a scalable and adaptable approach to keeping people and assets safe.
