SecureFlow Kiosk by Garrett: A Describeable Device for User Interaction
The SecureFlow Kiosk, a new tablet-based accessory by Garrett Metal Detectors, is set to revolutionise the secondary screening process at checkpoints. Designed specifically for integration with Garrett's Paragon walk-through metal detectors, this innovative device offers a host of features aimed at improving both security and throughput.
The SecureFlow Kiosk provides constant, real-time access to recent alarm data, current walkthrough settings, and a live visual display of the Paragon detector’s zone indications and ready lights. It connects to the main detector via a wired Ethernet connection for reliable data transmission.
One of the primary benefits of the SecureFlow Kiosk is its ability to improve secondary screening efficiency. By providing the secondary screener with clear, zone-specific alarm information on the tablet, it helps quickly and accurately identify alarm locations without requiring the screener to observe or memorise zone lights at the time of the alarm. This reduction in errors and speeding up of the process contributes significantly to a smoother flow of passengers.
Another advantage is enhanced situational awareness and reduced fatigue for checkpoint staff. Continuous visual and historical alarm tracking on the kiosk reduces the cognitive load and attention lapses that checkpoint staff may experience during lengthy screening shifts.
The kiosk also facilitates faster target identification. Its actionable interface allows security staff to rapidly locate contraband or threat objects, further enhancing the efficiency of secondary screenings.
Potentially, the SecureFlow Kiosk could lead to a reduction in staffing needs. By increasing the throughput and effectiveness of each screener, facilities may require fewer secondary screening personnel for efficient checkpoint operations.
Manufactured at Garrett's Garland, Texas, facility, the SecureFlow Kiosk is protected by appropriate design patents and trademark protections. Product details for the SecureFlow Kiosk are now available on garrett.com, and Garrett Metal Detectors has begun taking orders for the device.
In summary, the SecureFlow Kiosk aims to create a superior checkpoint experience by making secondary screening more efficient, accurate, and less taxing on security staff, resulting in improved security outcomes and better passenger throughput.
The SecureFlow Kiosk, connected via a wired Ethernet connection, offers a live visual display of Paragon detector's zone indications and ready lights, enabling real-time access to recent alarm data and current walkthrough settings (data-and-cloud-computing). This tablet-based accessory by Garrett Metal Detectors facilitates faster target identification and improves situational awareness for checkpoint staff, utilizing technology to streamline the secondary screening process (gadgets).
