Morpho Detection and Optosecurity Partner for Airport Checkpoints

Morpho Detection announced a partnership with Canada-based Optosecurity, a global provider of threat detection technology, to expand and upgrade checkpoint networking and X-ray detection capabilities. Under terms of the agreement, Morpho Detection will deploy and service Optosecurity's eVelocity Integrated Security Screening Software and Threat Detection Software suites at airports globally.

Networking checkpoint solutions through eVelocity allows airports to connect checkpoint X-ray, trace, walk through metal, and advanced imaging technology (AIT) machines. As a result, airports can enable a wide-range of security functions including remote system monitoring, image sharing and centralized screening capabilities. Deploying XMS threat detection software gives airports the capability today to modernize and extend the operational life of existing checkpoint X-ray systems with ECAC-certified Type C automated liquid, aerosol and gel (LAG) explosives detection capabilities.

"Morpho Detection is excited to partner with Optosecurity to help airports solve operational and security challenges while providing the capabilities to help alleviate major passenger irritants," said Brad Buswell, president and CEO, Morpho Detection, Inc. "The partnership gives airport operators and security directors the opportunity to meet future checkpoint liquids detection mandates and realize operational cost savings, while increasing the accuracy and efficiency of their checkpoint screening programs."

"Optosecurity is very pleased by this partnership with Morpho Detection. It will make the eVelocity technology available to a wider customer base across the globe and provide them with a premium service offer no matter where they are." said Eric Bergeron, president and CEO of Optosecurity, Inc. "The eVelocity Software Suite brings cost-reducing intelligent capabilities that airport security operators have been wanting for years. We are proud to partner with Morpho Detection to be the first to bring to market such an industry-changing innovation."
