Airport

Protect the flow of passengers with certified, high-performance aviation security. VMI screens people, cabin and hold baggage and onboard catering trolleys, from the checkpoint to the boarding gate, without slowing your terminal down. Moreover, ARPIA, our embedded intelligence, flags explosives, weapons and prohibited items automatically, so operators decide faster and with fewer errors.

Automatic Threat Detection

ARPIA, VMI's exclusive AI, highlights explosives, weapons and prohibited items in every image. Combined with Threat Image Projection, it keeps operators sharp and cuts human error at every lane.

Checkpoint Efficiency

Technology built for high-traffic terminals. TSA and STAC certified X-ray scanners, dual-view imaging and Garrett walk-through portals clear passengers and bags quickly, without compromising accuracy.

Ports and Customs

In high-volume environments, security must be fast and precise. Therefore, VMI combines inspection and imaging in one automated workflow. Because the process is non-intrusive, customs and port authorities screen containers and vehicles without holding up trade. High-penetration X-ray and drive-through scanning clear trucks in seconds, and automatic detection flags contraband before it passes.

Customs & Border Compliance

Our systems meet the requirements of customs and border authorities. That keeps cargo and vehicle inspection aligned with international trade-security and auditing standards.

High-Throughput Flow

Non-intrusive cargo and vehicle inspection built for ports of entry. High-penetration X-ray and drive-through scanning clear containers and trucks quickly, keeping goods and revenue moving.

Air cargo

Secure every shipment before it flies. VMI's certified cargo scanners inspect pallets, crates and consolidated freight in a single pass, from the warehouse floor to full trucks and containers at the terminal gate. Moreover, automatic detection of drugs, explosives and high-density materials supports your operators on every load, so dense cargo is cleared without unpacking.

Deep Penetration for Dense Cargo

Generators of up to 320 kV reach 70 mm of steel penetration, and dual-view imaging shows each shipment from more than one angle. Concealed items inside heavy, mixed loads are revealed without opening the cargo.

Terminal Throughput and Traceability

Conveyors rated for 3,000 kg and tunnels over 1.8 m wide keep large shipments moving. Every inspection is stored and exportable, so compliance records are ready for customs, auditors and your airline partners.

Prison System

Comprehensive security for prisons starts with precise, contactless screening. Transmission imaging detects items concealed on or inside the body, so no invasive search is needed. As a result, conflicts and operating costs drop. The equipment also integrates into the facility’s network, flagging weapons and narcotics automatically to support every decision.

Non-Intrusive Body Screening

Contactless transmission imaging detects items concealed on or inside the body. It delivers accurate people screening that respects dignity and avoids invasive searches.

Conflict & Cost Reduction

Fewer manual searches mean fewer confrontations and lower costs. Faster, calmer inspection of visitors, staff, and inmates keeps the routine under control.

Forensics

VMI develops dedicated equipment for forensic institutes and hospitals. High-resolution X-ray imaging reveals projectiles, fractures, and foreign objects in fine detail. Examiners then prepare expert reports faster and more accurately. The examination is non-intrusive, so the body and the chain of evidence stay intact.

High-Resolution Imaging

Capture fine detail in bodies and evidence with high-resolution X-ray imaging. It reveals projectiles, fractures, and foreign objects that support a precise medico-legal report.

Faster, More Accurate Reports

Non-intrusive examination shortens investigation time and strengthens analysis, without compromising the body or the chain of evidence.

Meet VMI Security's Artificial Intelligence

ARPIA AI integrates advanced deep learning algorithms into VMI Security equipment. The system analyzes every image the moment it is generated, identifying threats and anomalies with high precision and accelerating decision-making. The operator stays in command: ARPIA highlights, the human decides.

Small, medium and large volumes

Automatic threat identification for carry-on bags, parcels and palletized cargo. ARPIA flags firearms, blades, vapes, explosives, lithium batteries, contraband and miniaturized electronics in real time.

Inspection of people

AI for body scanners that locates weapons, sharp objects, micro cell phones, flexible explosive sheets and illicit items hidden under clothing, inside body cavities or ingested.

Trucks and containers

ARPIA reveals false compartments and hidden cargo, detects heavy weaponry, verifies cargo against shipping documentation, and identifies anomalies in containers.

We ensure that the client's team is fully qualified to operate the equipment and utilize the image management tools, guaranteeing the maximum return on investment.

Our system architecture is designed to be modular and upgradable. When new types of threats or detection technologies emerge, it is often possible to update the image processing software or AI algorithms without replacing the entire hardware, which ensures the longevity of our clients' assets.

For government and defense sectors, we offer not only technology but absolute reliability and confidentiality. Our equipment meets the highest national security protocols, backed by specialized and agile technical support, ensuring that strategic facilities, such as borders and public buildings, maintain uninterrupted and protected operations.

We believe that technology is only effective when paired with skilled operators. We offer structured training programs, both in-person and through threat simulation software, which prepare users to identify risks rapidly and reduce interpretation errors. Our focus is to turn the operator into a strong, efficient link in the security chain.

We have a strategically distributed technical support network and utilize advanced remote diagnostic tools. This allows us to identify the root cause of failures instantly via network, often resolving the issue virtually. When local intervention is required, we rely on efficient logistics for spare parts and technical teams ready for priority dispatch.

Our customs inspection technology and border security scanner systems help agents intercept narcotics, weapons, and hidden goods by exposing density anomalies that indicate concealment. Automatic threat detection flags suspicious patterns, such as false floors in vehicles or shielded voids in cargo, that point to smuggling or commercial fraud. By combining cargo and vehicle inspection hardware with intelligent software, we give customs and law-enforcement teams faster, more reliable narcotics detection and weapon detection, raising seizure rates without slowing legitimate trade.
