Logistics and Warehousing
In logistics the cost of screening is measured in stopped vehicles and broken-down pallets. Equipment that lets freight keep moving is worth more than equipment with a better image.
What goes wrong
- Pallets have to be broken down and repacked to be inspected
- Standard tunnels reject oversized parcels and cargo
- Duty-cycle limits force a scanner to rest during a busy shift
- Stopping every vehicle for inspection blocks the approach road
- Cartons have to be opened to check for stray metal before dispatch
What the equipment has to do
- Tunnels sized for palletised freight, up to 1510 x 1810 mm
- 100% duty cycle cooling for continuous shift operation
- Under vehicle imaging that works while the vehicle drives over
- Carton-level needle detection so sealed boxes stay sealed
- Conveyor loads rated for real freight weights, up to 2000 kg

What to Check When Buying an X-Ray Baggage Scanner
Tunnel size, penetration, resolution, dose and duty cycle are the five figures that decide whether a scanner suits your lane.
Under Vehicle Inspection Mirrors Cameras and Scanners Compared
Three different tools for the same job, separated by what they record and how many vehicles you have to process.
How to Read an X-Ray Scanner Specification Sheet
AWG, penetration resolution, typical versus guaranteed, and measurement distance. The four places specification sheets hide the real answer.
Logistics and Warehousing FAQ
Will a loaded pallet fit
The VKJ-150180 and 150180D take 1510 x 1810 mm. The logistics cargo scanner takes 1500 x 1800 mm at up to 2000 kg.
Can a scanner run a full shift without resting
Yes, models with sealed oil cooling are rated at 100% duty cycle, including the VKX100100H and the VKJ and VKX ranges.
Do vehicles have to stop for undercarriage screening
No. The mobile system scans at 1 to 65 km/h during the manoeuvre and bears more than 30 tonnes.
Can sealed cartons be checked for needles
Yes, the KND-6040 is built for large sealed carton boxes, so they are not opened and repacked.
