HELIXVIEW™ 3D baggage scanner strengthens airport security with automatic threat detection, offering a cutting-edge, lightweight, and compact solution that ensures operational efficiency and security at airport checkpoints.

FORCES

As airports navigate new challenges and opportunities, Thales provides the solutions to help them thrive;

Efficiency

Designed to seamlessly fit into modern airports, this lightweight, compact solution meets installation constraints and is fully compatible with existing infrastructure. It’s built to accommodate with conveyors, automatic prohibited items detection software (APIDS) and other third-party systems.
Seamless Passenger Experience

HELIXVIEW™ brings the airport of the future to life with an elegant, non-invasive design. Powered by advanced technology, it allows passengers to keep liquids and electronics in their baggage, ensuring a simpler, more comfortable security screening experience.
Digital Innovation

HELIXVIEW™ supports airport digital transformation by centralising data processing with multiplexing, optimising image analysis resources, and ensuring data security with Thales' cybersecurity expertise.

Lightweight, compact, and low-maintenance security solution

The HELIXVIEW™ cabin baggage scanner marks a significant advancement in airport security, seamlessly blending efficiency with passenger comfort all while providing an optimized total cost of usage for airports. With a space underneath for the return of empty trays, its cutting-edge stationary design incorporates X-ray sources that utilise proprietary nanotechnology, delivering the lightest and most compact solution available on the market, compatible with the majority of tray return systems.

HELIXVIEW™ is among the many solutions offered by Thales for airports, providing a seamless, secure, and efficient experience from check-in to boarding. Its integration with our existing portfolio enables real-time data monitoring and coordination helping airports to respond effectively to variable demand. Our holistic approach enables airports to adapt to the evolving commercial aviation landscape, ensuring smarter, safer, and smoother passenger journeys.

FEATURES

Weighing around 1 tonne, HELIXVIEW™ features a footprint 30% smaller than traditional CT scanners, which typically weigh 2 to 2.5 tonnes. Its sleek, compact design ensures a non-invasive, space-efficient solution that seamlessly integrates into airport environments, optimising space to accommodate additional scanners or passenger services.

HELIXVIEW™ is the only scanner designed with space beneath it for returning empty trays. Integrated with a tray return system, it eliminates the need for elevated scanners or sloped conveyors. This innovative design reduces tray jams, minimises wear and tear on conveyors, and increases throughput.

Passengers will no longer encounter the delicate procedure at security checkpoints where liquids and electronic items must be removed from hand luggage for separate scanning. With our advanced technology, these items are scanned directly within the baggage, streamlining the process and greatly enhancing passenger convenience.

HELIXVIEW™ combines X-ray nanotechnology with advanced 3D image reconstruction for precise detection of explosives. It integrates seamlessly with APIDS to identify prohibited items, including knives and disassembled weapons. Enhanced with AI assistance, it aids operators in accurately assessing potential threats, reducing false alarms, and preventing bottlenecks.
