Shaping the Next Generation of Hold Baggage and Air Cargo Screening
Join us for this virtual panel discussion where airports and technology leaders Smiths Detection discuss balancing operational efficiency, compliance and sustainability in high volume environments.
As airports worldwide prepare for sustained growth in passenger and cargo volumes, the challenge of maintaining strict security standards while optimising operations has never been greater. At the same time, regulators are raising the bar with evolving ECAC and TSA requirements, sustainability targets are becoming more pressing, and passengers expect seamless experiences.

You will learn:
- Strategies to minimise bag travel time from check-in to plane loading throughput while reducing operational costs
- Gain insights into the next wave of regulatory changes and what they mean for future investment decision
- Practical approaches to building sustainability into security systems and lowering total cost of ownership
