Screen Every Bag, from the Entry Lane to the Mailroom

Add a second set of eyes to every X-ray scanner with Roboflow vision AI for X-ray security screening.

Find the threat:

  • Detect firearms, firearm parts, and ammunition, with a model trained on images from your own scanners.
  • Flag knives, blades, and sharps, plus blunt objects and improvised weapons, including items that look harmless at a glance.
  • Detect liquids, aerosols, and gels, and any other items on your venue's prohibited list.

Work in real bags:

  • Find items in cluttered bags where contents overlap, sit at odd angles, or are partly hidden by other objects.
  • Use the material colors your scanner already shows, such as metals, organics, and mixed materials, as part of what the model learns.
  • Combine both views on dual-view scanners, and find small objects such as blades and parts in large, busy images.

Support the screener:

  • Draw a box around each flagged item on the bag image and send the alert to a tablet or monitor at the lane, so the screener sees it before the bag moves on.
  • Log every alert and the screener's decision with its image, for supervisor review and training.
  • Track alert rates by lane and shift, and pair screening with perimeter safety on the same platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is X-ray security screening with Vision AI?

X-ray security screening with Vision AI runs a trained computer vision model (opens in a new tab) on the images from bag and parcel X-ray scanners to flag firearms, knives, and other prohibited items, and shows each alert to the screener in real time. It works alongside baggage tracking and other security cameras on the same platform.

Does it replace our scanners or screeners?

No. It reads the video output of the X-ray scanners you already run, so there is no new scanner to buy. It highlights items for the screener, who makes every call on every bag.

Roboflow serves as the detection engine, and your security team owns the prohibited items list, alert rules, and every screening decision.

How does it handle cluttered bags and hidden items?

The model is trained on images from your own scanners, including cluttered bags, overlapping items, and objects at unusual angles. It uses the material colors the scanner already displays, and on dual-view scanners it can combine both views, which helps when one view shows an item edge-on.

Can it integrate with our video management, incident, and alerting systems?

Yes. Roboflow sends alerts and images over REST (opens in a new tab), MQTT, or webhooks to video management, incident management, and staff alerting tools. Models run at the edge next to the scanner, on-prem, or fully offline, so bag images never have to leave the site.
