Z Portal
  • Inspects vehicles for threats with Z® Backscatter imaging from three sides simultaneously - allowing for extremely high throughput
  • Proprietary Z Backscatter technology to highlight organic threats and contraband that other systems miss - explosives, plastic weapons, and drugs
  • Safe for operators, and subject vehicles and cargo, minimizing exclusion zones.

Z PORTAL MULTI-VIEW CARGO AND VEHICLE SCREENING SYSTEM (RELOCATABLE)

Singapore's JTC Corporation knows the AS&E Advantage. The Portal is deployed at Jurong Island, a major chemical and industrial complex, to inspect incoming vehicles and containers for threats to island security.

AS&E’s Z® Portal™ is a multi-view, drive-through inspection system capable of scanning cars, vans, trucks, and their cargo for concealed threats and contraband.

The relocatable screening system is available in two sizes — one for large trucks, buses, and cargo vehicles; and a smaller size for passenger vehicles. Z Portal can be configured with up to three Z® Backscatter™ imaging modules, allowing a left, right, and top view of the vehicle under examination. The multi-views provide maximum screening capability and facilitate image interpretation. The Z Portal system provides high-quality, photo-like images that offer outstanding material discrimination capability.

The Z Portal is a high-throughput screening gateway, allowing approximately 80 trucks or 120 passenger vehicles per hour. Driven at a speed of 5 kph, vehicles and their cargo are scanned for threats and illegal goods such as stowaways, explosives, drugs, and alcohol. With its compact design and profile, the Z Portal system is ideal for high-traffic locations with space constraints and a high-throughput requirement. The Z Portal system is safe for drivers, operators, cargo, and the environment.

TECHNOLOGY

The Z Portal employs AS&E's patented Z Backscatter technology, which produces photo-like images of the contents of a container or vehicle, highlighting organic materials, such as explosives, illegal drugs, agricultural products, currency, and other contraband. Optional Forwardscatter imaging creates up to two additional side-view images of the scanned vehicles and cargo. This option offers a second ‘scatter’ perspective to display dense regions of scanned vehicles and cargo to identify potential anomalies.
