BAGGAGE & FREIGHT SCREENING
Baggage and Freight Screening includes a range of X-ray screening systems designed to examine parcels, baggage, freight, and palletized goods for concealed threats and prohibited items without disrupting operations.
These screening systems cover small items to large cargo and are selected based on size, density, throughput, and operational environment.
They support aviation security, customs, and supply chain protection across transport hubs, logistics operations, and critical facilities.
Our Range of Products and Solutions
unival group offers baggage and freight screening systems for different volumes, item sizes, and environments, including X-ray screening for parcels, baggage, and cargo.
These systems support selection based on throughput, space, and risk, and can be integrated for reliable and compliant screening across aviation and logistics operations.
Operational Applications
Baggage and Freight Screening systems are deployed wherever parcels, baggage, or freight must be inspected before transport, delivery, or entry into controlled environments.
Airports and Aviation Security
Screening of passenger baggage, transfer baggage, and air cargo to prevent prohibited items from entering aircraft or restricted areas.
Customs and Border Control
Inspection of parcels and freight consignments at ports of entry to detect smuggling, undeclared goods, and security threats.
Postal and Courier Facilities
Screening of mail, parcels, and express shipments within postal centers and courier hubs.
Logistics and Distribution Centers
Inspection of inbound and outbound goods to protect supply chains and prevent cargo tampering or diversion.
Ports and Freight Terminals
Screening of palletized cargo and freight units moving through seaports, inland terminals, and intermodal hubs.
Critical Infrastructure and Secure Facilities
Inspection of deliveries and supplies entering sensitive sites such as government buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities.
E-Commerce and Commercial Operations
Screening of high volume parcel flows to support secure and compliant distribution processes.
The Threats Organizations Face
Organizations responsible for baggage and freight handling face a wide range of concealed threats that cannot be reliably detected through visual inspection or documentation checks alone.
Concealed Weapons Explosives
- Firearms, weapon components, and explosive devices hidden inside baggage or freight,
- Improvised explosive devices concealed within parcels or cargo loads
Narcotics and Illicit Substances
- Smuggling of drugs and controlled substances within shipments,
- Concealment within consumer goods, packaging, or freight structures
Prohibited and Restricted Items
- Transport of items restricted by aviation, customs, or facility regulations,
- Undeclared hazardous materials and dangerous goods.
Smuggling and Trade Fraud
- Undeclared commercial goods and customs evasion,
- Misdeclaration of contents, value, or origin of freight.
Cargo Tampering and Abuse
- Insertion of unauthorized items during transit,
- Manipulation of legitimate shipments for criminal purposes.
Insider and Trusted Access Risks
- Abuse of access privileges within logistics and handling environments,
- Circumvention of screening processes through insider knowledge
How Baggage and Freight Screening Helps
Baggage and Freight Screening supports security and inspection operations by enabling reliable detection of concealed threats while maintaining efficient handling of goods and baggage.
SOLUTION
Non-Intrusive Inspection Capability
Inspection is conducted without physical contact or disruption, allowing threats to be identified while keeping goods and processes intact:
- Detection of hidden weapons, explosives, and prohibited items.
- Identification of density anomalies and concealed compartments.
- Inspection without opening, unloading, or disrupting shipments.
Support for Risk Based and Layered Screening
Inspection capabilities can be applied selectively as part of a broader, intelligence led security approach:
- Selective screening based on risk profiles and operational criteria.
- Escalation from primary screening to secondary inspection where required.
- Integration into layered aviation, border, and supply chain security models.
Operational Efficiency and Throughput
Screening supports continuous operations by maintaining flow while reducing delays caused by manual inspection:
- Support for high volume baggage and parcel flows.
- Reduced delays compared to manual inspection methods.
- Maintenance of logistics and passenger processing timelines.
Improved Safety for Personnel
Inspection methods are designed to minimize direct exposure of personnel to potential threats and hazardous materials:
- Reduced need for manual searches of suspicious items.
- Lower exposure to potentially hazardous materials.
- Remote image analysis away from handling areas.
Consistency and Standardization
Standardized inspection processes help ensure reliable and repeatable outcomes across different operators and locations:
- Repeatable screening outcomes across shifts and locations.
- Reduced reliance on subjective judgment alone.
- Support for standardized operating procedures.
Inspection Documentation and Accountability
Inspection activities are recorded to support traceability, review, and compliance requirements:
- Recorded inspection images and data for audit and review.
- Support for investigations and compliance reporting.
- Improved transparency across inspection processes.
