Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the iLane, an advanced lane with tray handling system developed by Smiths Detection, designed to enhance the efficiency of security checkpoints by maintaining a steady flow of trays. This system aims to improve throughput, reduce costs, and enhance passenger experience.

Key Features of iLane
  • Parallel Divestment: Allows multiple passengers to prepare simultaneously, reducing bottlenecks and improving flow.
  • Automatic Diversion: Suspicious items are automatically rerouted to a secondary search area, maintaining the main conveyor's flow.
  • Automated Tray Return: Trays are automatically recirculated, reducing manual handling and allowing staff to focus on customer support.

Design and Functionality
The iLane system is highly automated, freeing operators to assist passengers and maintain process flow. It features:
  • Active Conveyor: Trays are moved towards scanners as soon as they are ready, eliminating waiting times.
  • Light Sensors: Manage tray flow by pausing sections of the conveyor to allow manual addition of trays.
  • Reclaim Space: Provides ample space for passengers to collect belongings post-screening, with options for multiple reclaim stations.

Modular Flexibility
The iLane is modular, allowing for customized configurations to meet varying requirements and handle increasing passenger traffic. It integrates seamlessly with other checkpoint components and can incorporate new inspection systems.

Smiths Detection Overview
Smiths Detection is a leader in threat detection and screening technologies, providing solutions for military, air transportation, homeland security, and emergency response markets. With over 40 years of experience, they focus on innovative solutions to safeguard society and ensure the free flow of trade.

Keeping the process moving Screening equipment needs a steady flow of trays to reach optimum performance An effective lane with tray handling system is a primary checkpoint component. By delivering a steady flow of trays, it plays a critical role in streamlining the screening process and delivering the subsequent benefits of increased throughput, lower per capita costs and an improved passenger experience. Innovations in lane design and function can help take the overall checkpoint solution to the next level by removing bottlenecks and literally keeping the process moving. The iLane from Smiths...

Removing the bottlenecks Design and technical developments maintain the flow iLane has been designed to eliminate bottlenecks, keep queues under control and The high level of automation leaves operators free to focus on the travelling public, the system moving. Three key advances together deliver the improved productivity, getting them ready for screening and keeping the process moving. Fast and effective higher throughput and reduced operational costs which represent the measures and screening increases the number of people screened and reduces the screening cost benefits of optimum operational...

Pragmatic and automatic Highly functional design takes full advantage of automation Practical from start…. Traditionally, the security checkpoint has proved frustrating for the travelling public The iLane design has also considered the people ‘downstream’ who may not be with hold-ups right at the start as, one after another, people remove items to place able to access the conveyor if trays are approaching from further ‘upstream’. Light in trays. iLane incorporates parallel divestment, which allows multiple passengers sensors are used to pause a portion of the active conveyor so ‘downstream’ trays...

Automatic diversion Focusing on customer support By avoiding belt stops and manual intervention, iLane can significantly increase iLane automatically recirculates trays from a retrieval unit at the end of the the throughput of the main conveyor system. Any trays carrying items identified checkpoint, delivering them to passengers back at the start. Not only is this a much as suspicious are automatically diverted off the main (cleared) conveyor towards more efficient method of transporting trays, it also enables some job functions to a secondary search area with no interruption to the central flow....
