GDS Advanced Technologies offers powerful X-ray systems for security checks, material testing, and industrial applications. The portfolio ranges from compact baggage and mail scanners to CT and cargo systems, as well as mobile and handheld X-ray devices.
We accompany you from personal consultation and planning to installation and training, as well as maintenance and long-term spare parts supply.
X-ray scanners for reliable control of bags, baggage, letters, and parcels. The systems are suitable for person entry controls, mailrooms, goods receipts, and numerous other security areas.
Typical application locations:
Modern CT X-ray scanners create high-resolution, three-dimensional representations of the controlled items. In conjunction with automatic threat detection, they assist security personnel in reliably identifying explosives and prohibited items.
GDS offers systems for hand luggage and checked baggage control in the areas of EDS, EDSCB, and HBEDS. Depending on the model, the devices have international certifications such as ECAC and TSA.
For the control of larger shipments, GDS provides X-ray systems with different tunnel sizes and conveyor heights. The portfolio ranges from systems for packages and piece goods to systems for pallets, vehicles, containers, and complete
truck trailers.
The devices are available as single or dual-view systems depending on the requirements and can be integrated into existing conveyor technology.
Mobile X-ray systems enable the inspection of suspicious items directly at the scene. They are suitable for police, customs, border protection, correctional services, and industrial inspection tasks.
Handheld backscatter devices make hidden objects and materials visible. With an additional detector arm, backscatter and transmission images can be generated with a single scan, depending on the system.
Modern X-ray control systems combine high image quality with intelligent analysis functions. AI-supported applications assist operators in recognizing relevant items faster and making control processes more efficient.
Depending on the system, the following functions are available:
The specific equipment is selected according to the respective application and the required security level.
The X-ray systems from GDS are used by both government agencies and companies:
In industry and waste management, X-ray technology can be used, for example, for quality control, detection of foreign materials, or automatic finding of batteries.
In the past ten years, GDS has equipped more than 60 courts in Germany with
X-ray technology for person entry controls – from local courts to federal courts.
Special expertise exists in projects with limited space and challenging installation conditions,
for example, in older or listed buildings. Through personal consultation and careful examination
on-site, GDS develops an appropriate solution for each location.
If necessary, the X-ray scanners can be combined with metal detector frames and
technically linked.
GDS accompanies the procurement and operation of your X-ray technology from initial
planning to subsequent modernization or disposal.
We analyze the application area, the spatial conditions, the
control volume, and the security-related requirements. If necessary, we check the conditions directly on-site.
GDS takes care of the delivery, setup, installation, and commissioning of the systems.
Integration into existing conveyor technology or overarching security concepts is also possible.
After installation, we conduct the legally required instruction according to § 98 of the Radiation Protection Ordinance. Operators and administrators receive practical training for the safe handling of the system.
Additionally, GDS, together with CASRA, offers computer-based training programs for X-ray image evaluation.
Regular maintenance and a reliable repair service support safe system operation.
Thanks to a comprehensive spare parts warehouse, required spare parts are generally available on short notice.
When replacing an existing system, GDS can take care of dismantling and
transportation upon request. The old devices are properly disposed of by certified disposal and recycling companies.
For various applications, GDS offers X-ray scanners with German design approval.
For devices with design approval, a notification to the responsible supervisory authority is usually sufficient. This reduces administrative burden and speeds up commissioning.
When replacing the X-ray tube or X-ray generator, a new expert assessment is generally not required. This can reduce repair times and additional costs.
The design test confirms that the system meets the legal requirements for radiation shielding and dose rate.
Operators receive a technically tested and legally secure solution for long-term use in security-sensitive areas.
The portfolio includes baggage and mail scanners, CT systems for explosives detection,
cargo and large X-ray systems, as well as mobile and handheld X-ray devices.
Yes. GDS provides compact systems for letters and small packages as well as larger
X-ray systems for piece goods and complete pallets.
