Our Installation Process

  1. Discovery and site assessment: We review your dates, daily attendance curves, bag policy, entry points, and staffing plan. When helpful, we conduct a walk-through to map cable runs, lighting, weather cover, and ADA access.
  2. Throughput modeling and lane design: Using arrival curves and target wait times, we size lane counts and choose the right mix of walkthroughs, X-ray, and divesting stations. We plan for VIP, staff, ADA, bag-only, and re-entry lanes where appropriate.
  3. Power, cabling, and environmental planning: We design power distribution with surge protection and UPS, plan cable routing and mats, and account for shade, wind, and rain coverage so devices stay within recommended operating conditions.
  4. Installation and calibration: Our technicians deliver and stage equipment, complete warm-up and calibration, test alarm zones, and validate belt speeds and image quality on X-ray units. We document serials and configuration states for your records.
  5. Operator orientation and handoff: Gate leads and screeners receive quick-hit training: divesting prompts, alarm resolution steps, bag screening etiquette, and escalation paths. We provide laminated quick guides and daily open/close checklists.
  6. Live support and adjustments: During opening hours or event windows, we monitor throughput, adjust sensitivity profiles, tweak lane mixes, and handle swap-outs to keep queues predictable.
  7. Post-event review: You receive a brief performance recap with observations, photos, and recommendations for the next date. For permanent sites, we add findings to your maintenance log.

Upgrades and Optimization

If you manage aging security equipment, we can help you decide what to keep, what to refurbish, and what to replace. Typical wins include:

  • Rebalancing lanes to match real arrival patterns
  • Updating sensitivity profiles to reduce false positives while maintaining threat detection targets
