X-BIS stands for X-ray Baggage Inspection System. These systems are widely used in security checkpoints at airports, railway stations, and other sensitive locations to screen baggage and parcels for prohibited items, weapons, explosives, and dangerous goods using X-ray technology.
X-BIS is the standard acronym for the technology used to screen baggage with X-rays.
These systems work by passing items through an X-ray beam and detecting the absorption levels of different materials. The resulting image is displayed on a screen, allowing security personnel to visually inspect the contents of the baggage. Modern X-BIS systems often use dual-energy X-ray technology to differentiate between organic and inorganic materials, aiding in the identification of threats.
