Nuctech - people screening

Nuctech Company Limited is a leading global provider of security inspection and detection technologies, founded in 1997 as a spinoff from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. Nuctech specializes in radiation imaging, X-ray, CT, millimeter wave, and trace detection systems for threat identification (explosives, narcotics, weapons). It serves aviation, customs, ports, borders and so on. Nuctech supplies non-intrusive body scanners and integrated checkpoint systems for passenger and staff screening:

MW1000AA Millimeter Wave Body Scanner: Walk-through MMW imager detects concealed metallic/non-metallic threats (guns, knives, liquids, explosives) under clothing using non-ionizing waves. ECAC Standard 2 approved, with AI privacy protection (no full-body images) and good detection accuracy at high throughput.

Key-Line Automatic Screening Lane: Modular checkpoint integrating body scanners, ETD desks, and tray return for contactless people flow. AI algorithms auto-detect anomalies, reducing staffing.

KEY OFFERINGS

Nuctech Contactless Pupil Screening ↗: This non-invasive device uses infrared light to scan a person's pupils and detect drug or stimulant effects based on eye response changes. No swabs or contact needed just look into it for seconds at checkpoints to flag impairment from narcotics. Ideal for quick people screening at airports or borders alongside other trace detectors.
Nuctech™ MW1000AA Millimeter Wave Body Inspection Device ↗: This walk-through scanner uses safe millimeter waves to detect hidden weapons, explosives, liquids, or drugs under clothing in just 2 seconds from a stationary position. No ionizing radiation, automatic threat alerts with privacy protection (stick-figure display), compact footprint, ECAC-certified for high-throughput airport passenger screening lanes.
Nuctech™ MD2100 Metal Detector Arc ↗: Walk-through arch detects ferrous/non-ferrous metals (weapons, tools) on passengers with 33 detection zones, and anti-interference tech for crowded checkpoints. Digital signal processing, password protection, LED lights guide passengers, handles 200+ people/hour at airports.
Nuctech™ SHENMUTEK™ LT3 LiteTera Body Inspection Device ↗: Terahertz (THz) body scanner penetrates clothing to reveal concealed non-metallic threats (plastics, ceramics, liquids) without X-rays or millimeter waves. Non-contact, high-resolution imaging for people screening at checkpoints, safer alternative to traditional body scanners.
Nuctech™ SHENMUTEK™ ES7 Millimeter Wave Body Inspection Device ↗: Advanced millimeter wave scanner with AI threat recognition detects metallic/non-metallic objects under clothing in seconds, featuring wide-channel design for wheelchairs and high-traffic airport lanes. ECAC-certified, low false alarms, privacy-protected images.

/USE CASES

No relevant airport case studies

Nuctech™ MD2100 Metal Detector Arc ↗: Solves vague alarms causing delays in crowds, now scanning each person in less than 1 second with 33 zones for pinpoint accuracy, handling 200+ people/hour without interference, plus optional 2-8 hour battery and under 30W power use.
Nuctech Contactless Pupil Screening ↗: Solves slow, invasive drug detection like swabs taking minutes per person, now reduced to seconds via quick pupil scan.
Nuctech™ MW1000AA ↗: Solves metal detectors/pat-downs missing non-metallics and slowing lines, now detecting in just 2 seconds from one position.
Nuctech™ SHENMUTEK™ LT3 ↗: Solves poor non-metallic threat detection with X-rays/millimeter waves, now high-res THz imaging in seconds, no radiation.
Nuctech™ SHENMUTEK™ ES7 ↗: Solves false alarms and narrow access in busy lanes, now delivering AI-accurate detection in ≤2s via wide channels that fit wheelchairs.
