uniXSCAN | FERROMAGNETIC DETECTION

uniXSCAN | Ferromagnetic Detection systems are designed to detect ferromagnetic objects carried on individuals or concealed within clothing and personal items. Unlike conventional metal detectors, these systems focus specifically on ferromagnetic materials, allowing reliable identification of items that pose safety and security risks while remaining insensitive to many non-threatening metallic objects.

Ferromagnetic detection is particularly suited for environments where conventional metal detection may generate high nuisance alarms or where sensitive equipment and strict safety rules apply. The technology supports controlled access screening with minimal disruption and clear operational outcomes.

Operational Capability Overview

Purpose, Application, and Risk Environment

Purpose: uniXSCAN | Ferromagnetic Detection systems are deployed to identify ferromagnetic objects carried by individuals in environments where the presence of such items represents a safety or security risk. The focus is on detecting objects made from ferromagnetic materials while reducing unnecessary alarms from benign metallic items.

Application Environments: These systems are used in hospitals, medical facilities, laboratories, industrial sites, government buildings, and other controlled environments where ferromagnetic objects must be strictly controlled for safety or operational reasons.

Operational Risk Context: Ferromagnetic objects can cause severe safety hazards in sensitive environments, such as interference with critical equipment or uncontrolled attraction to strong magnetic fields. Ferromagnetic detection provides a focused screening layer that supports compliance with safety protocols while maintaining smooth personnel flow.

Functional Capability Overview

1. Targeted Ferromagnetic Object Detection

Detects ferromagnetic materials associated with weapons and dangerous objects while ignoring many non-ferromagnetic metals.

2. Reduced Nuisance Alarms 

Selective detection reduces alarms caused by non threatening metallic items, improving screening efficiency and operator confidence.

3. Non Intrusive Personnel Screening 

Allows screening without physical contact, supporting consistent and respectful access control procedures.

4. High Throughput Screening 

Designed to support efficient movement of people through controlled access points.

5. Complementary Screening Technology 

Can be used alongside metal detection or millimeter wave screening as part of a layered security approach.
