Vivid VDS1O8

PerkinElmer Detection Systems offers the Vivid VDS108 unit, a free-standing automated explosives detection system. The Vivid VDS108 provides high throughput, excellent image quality and outstanding reliability with a tunnel opening large enough for out-of-gauge and stand alone applications.

The Vivid VDS108 automatically detects explosive material using a proprietary dual energy x-ray technique, together with PerkinElmer's proven advanced algorithm capabilities. These proven technologies, combined with a new high speed computer platform, ensure the Vivid VDS108 provides the highest level of automatic detection performance currently available.

The Vivid VDS108 uses PerkinElmer's patented operator interface and can be operated as a freestanding unit or easily integrated into an airport conveyor system.

The Vivid VDS108 system is particularly well suited for airports, transportation operations and customs facilities where high speed processing of large baggage, packages and other items is required.

As part of the PerkinElmer Detection Systems' family of products, the Vivid VDS1O8 shares in more than 25 years of experience in the manufacture of X-ray security products. With hold baggage screening systems installed in over 64 airports worldwide, and over 12 years experience in system integration, PerkinElmer Detection Systems provides the most comprehensive x-ray solutions available on the market today.

Vivid VIS1O8

PerkinElmer Detection Systems offers the Vivid VIS108 unit, a high-speed automated inline explosives detection system specifically designed to meet the needs of multilevel hold baggage screening. The Vivid VIS108provides high throughput, proven ease of integration, and outstanding reliability with a tunnel opening large enough for even oversized baggage.

The Vivid VIS108 automatically detects explosive material using a proprietary dual energy x-ray technique, together with PerkinElmer’s proven advanced algorithm capabilities. These proven technologies combined with a new high speed computer platform provide the customer of the highest level of automatic detection performance currently available.

The Vivid VIS108 is fully compatible with PerkinElmer’s existing Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) Matrix Architecture and patented Level 2 Operator Workstation and is designed to operate as an integrated unit within an airport’s conveyor system.

The Vivid VIS108 system is particularly well suited for airports, transportation operations and customs facilities where high speed processing of large baggage, packages and other items is required.

As part of the PerkinElmer Detection Systems’ family of products, the Vivid VIS108 shares in more than 25 years of experience in the manufacture of X-ray security products.

Vivid VIS1O8 Matrix

To further improve overall screening system efficiency, the Vivid VIS108 automated Level 1 system can be configured within the VIS Matrix Architecture. The Vivid VIS108 automatically inspects 100% of the bags (up to 1800 bags per hour) on any conveyor. Bags cleared by the Vivid VIS108 continue toward the sortation system and are loaded onto the aircraft. Bags rejected at Level 1 continue toward the sortation system while the Vivid VIS108 sends an image of the bag to a Level 2 Operator Workstation for visual inspection.

The Level 1 Vivid VIS108 continues to automatically inspect bags while images of non-cleared bags are inspected by the Level 2 operator. The Vivid VIS108 system offers significant improvement in detection performance while the VIS Matrix Architecture minimizes the number of operators required to inspect baggage. Together, the VIS Matrix Architecture provides the most cost-effective solution for 100% hold baggage inspection.

Ethernet Switch

Level 1 alarm bag images are sent to the Level 2 Operator Workstations through an Ethernet Switch. The Switch works as a router, creating a connection between the Level 1 Vivid VIS108 system and the chosen Level 2 Operator Workstation. In addition to supporting multiple Level 2 Operator Workstations, the Switch also supports the Vivid MIS Bridge, an information link to the airport management information system. A fully redundant Switch configuration is offered to eliminate any potential single point of failure.

Level 2 Operator Workstation

PerkinElmer Detection Systems’ Matrix Architecture allows alarm bag images from multiple Level 1 X-ray machines to be inspected by a pool of operators stationed at Level 2 Operator Workstations. Level 2 operators can be located up to 1000 meters from the Level 1 machines in a comfortable, controlled working environment. Level 2 Operator Workstations provide all of the imaging tools required to clear or reject alarm bag images. Decisions for Level 1 alarm bags are made by Level 2 operators while the bags continue moving on the conveyors toward their final destinations.

Level 3 Operator Workstation

The fact that the Level 2 operator is unable to clear a suspect bag does not mean that the image they are viewing has insufficient information to make a decision. Since the Level 2 Operator must make quick decisions (typically less than fifteen seconds), they may not have had sufficient time to be able to clear a complicated bag. However, since the number of bags that are sent to Level 3 Operator Workstation is so low, the Level 3 operator can take the time required to make a decision.

For these reasons, PerkinElmer has developed a Level 3 Operator Workstation. All suspect images rejected by the Level 2 operator and those images for which no decision was made before the Level 3 decision point, are sent to the Level 3 Operator Workstation. The Level 3 Operator Workstation has the same extensive array of image enhancement features as the PerkinElmer Level 2 Operator Workstation and the operator has the advantage of additional time to analyze the image for threat determination.
