Cymoril Métivier, Global Digital Portfolio Director at Smiths Detection, said: "Security screening environments require ever-evolving solutions that provide both flexibility and reliability. With our iCMORE AI driven algorithm suite of solutions, we advance threat detection through cutting edge object recognition, improving screening accuracy and driving innovation. As part of our commitment to expanding AI capabilities, our collaboration with NeuralGuard takes this further by enabling third party AI based threat detection within Smiths Detection’s infrastructure, giving customers greater choice in how they manage their security screening capabilities."
Dotan Chayen, CEO of NeuralGuard said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Smiths Detection to bring cutting-edge AI-driven threat detection to security screening. This partnership marks a significant milestone, ensuring that security operators have access to the most advanced AI capabilities. By integrating NeuralGuard’s AI technology with Smiths Detection’s world-class screening systems, we are enhancing threat detection, improving operational efficiency, and ultimately making security screening more effective and reliable. We look forward to the impact this collaboration will have on the future of security technology."
By combining Smiths Detection’s industry-leading screening technology with NeuralGuard’s AI-powered identification software, the partnership gives customers greater flexibility to choose, adapt and optimise their security checkpoints.
Through our open architecture approach, we create tailored third-party integrations, and with iCMORE, our in-house engineered suite of AI-driven threat detection solutions, we redefine security operations. Seamlessly integrated with our X-ray screening systems, iCMORE enhances detection accuracy for prohibited items, currency, weapons, lithium batteries, and other dangerous goods. By reducing operator workload, streamlining workflows, and cutting false alarms, it empowers security teams to make faster, more confident decisions. Designed to scale and evolve, iCMORE ensures that security operations stay ahead of emerging threats.
