Mal Maginnis, President of Smiths Detection, said: “Our HCVS (Heimann Cargo Vision System) with material discrimination features X-ray images that distinguish between organic and inorganic substances. The associated color coding greatly helps in the detection of threat objects such as weapons, explosives and drugs. Our advanced technology and customer service will play a vital role in helping Nigeria deter smuggling and terrorism.”
The HCVS is the most powerful tool in Smiths Detection's cargo inspection product portfolio. It is permanently installed on a dedicated site, providing a swift and non-intrusive inspection procedure for every part of fully loaded trucks and containers. It also allows easy verification of customs documents and manifest verification.
