/CASE STUDY

Thales' HELIXVIEW is the lightest stationary CT scanner for airport checkpoints, using X-ray nanotechnology and AI-powered 3D imaging for automatic threat detection (explosives, weapons), allowing passengers to keep liquids/electronics in bags unpack-free, boosting efficiency and comfort while compatible with tray returns and existing infrastructure.
