Electromagnetic IED Detection System
EMIS®-MAIL
IED Detector for Letter & Parcel Inspection
The EMIS®-MAIL is a compact inspection system designed for the automatic screening of letters and parcels to detect improvised explosive device (IED) components. Using electromagnetic detection technology, it identifies metallic threat elements such as detonators, batteries, and trigger circuits while intelligently ignoring harmless items like staples or paper clips. The system is built for continuous operation in mailrooms and security checkpoints, combining high inspection speed with reliable alarm verification for each item processed.
