In this advanced five stage screening system every check in baggage first goes through level 1 and 2 of HBS which has ?Automated tomography? baggage scanning machines. In case the bag is suspected at either of these two levels, it is automatically diverted to levels 3 and 4 for more detailed and accurate scanning of the bag. The system at level 3 and 4 comprises of high-end Computer Tomography (CT) machines called eXaminer, and it is this CT system that is being supplied and integrated by HCL Security.

This 3D CT analysis provides the highest level of automated baggage screening capability and significantly increases the effectiveness of baggage screening for the airport operator.
