Dual-Technology Shoe Screening Innovation

SAMDEX from CEIA USA is a dual-technology shoe screening system. It simultaneously detects metallic and explosive threats concealed in passenger footwear without requiring shoe removal. The integrated SMD (Shoe Metal Detector) and SED (Shoe Explosive Detector) technologies provide clear OK or ALARM results for each shoe using advanced material property analysis.

SAMDEX improves security while increasing checkpoint efficiency. Individuals keep their shoes on during screening, eliminating X-ray shoe checks and helping maintain faster passenger throughput.

The system delivers step-by-step visual and audio guidance for both the passenger and the operator, completing analysis in approximately 2 seconds per shoe. A 5.7-inch TFT display shows system status and security settings, while Ethernet connectivity enables integration with centralized checkpoint management systems.

Key Features & Benefits

Dual-Technology Detection

Simultaneously detects metallic and explosive threats concealed in passenger footwear for more comprehensive airport security screening.

No Shoe Removal Screening

Passengers keep their shoes on, improving comfort while maintaining efficient airport checkpoint flow.

2-Second Analysis

Fast screening time supports high-throughput airport checkpoints and reduces passenger wait times.

Clear OK / ALARM Results

Provides clear, immediate screening results for each shoe, helping security personnel make fast decisions.

Safety Shoe Recognition

Automatically identifies safety footwear to prevent false alarms and maintain screening accuracy.

Prosthetics Metal Recognition

Detects metal anomalies caused by prosthetics or medical implants to support accurate threat detection.

Specifications

Dual-Technology Detection (SMD + SED)

SAMDEX integrates Shoe Metal Detector (SMD) and Shoe Explosive Detector (SED) technologies in one system. This enables simultaneous detection of metallic weapons and explosive materials concealed in passenger footwear during a single screening step.

Shoes-On Screening

Passengers keep their shoes on during inspection while the system detects both metal and explosive threats. Eliminating shoe removal improves passenger comfort and increases checkpoint throughput.

2-Second Analysis Time

Each shoe is analyzed in approximately two seconds, enabling rapid screening at busy airport security checkpoints. Fast analysis supports high passenger volumes without creating screening delays.

Clear OK / ALARM Detection Results

The integrated system provides clear OK or ALARM results for every shoe inspected. Simple binary results help security personnel make fast and consistent screening decisions

Screening Environments with Steel Toe Footwear

Facilities where employees wear steel toe or reinforced safety footwear face unique screening challenges. Standard metal detectors often trigger alarms from the metal components in work boots, slowing screening and requiring unnecessary secondary inspections. SAMDEX is designed to recognize and discriminate common workplace metal components, helping maintain both security and operational efficiency.

Accessories

Operational Functional Verification (OFV) Kit

The OFV Kit supports routine system verification with color-coded reference samples used to validate detection performance. The kit includes green, orange, and blue samples that guide operators through a step-by-step functional verification process using the system display. This procedure confirms proper system operation and supports airport security compliance and audit requirements.

Calibration and Test Samples

Reference samples allow operators to validate both metal and explosive detection performance. Standardized test targets help ensure consistent system verification and support regulatory documentation requirements for aviation security programs

Ergonomic Support Handle

An integrated ergonomic support handle provides passengers with stability during footwear screening. The handle assists elderly travelers, passengers with mobility challenges, and others who require balance support during the inspection process

Visual Display Interface

A 5.7-inch TFT display provides clear screening instructions, system status information, and OK or ALARM detection results. The display guides both passengers and security operators through the screening procedure using easy-to-understand visual messaging

Audio Signaling System

The system includes adjustable audio alerts with multiple selectable tones to support clear communication during screening. Configurable sound levels allow airports to adapt alerts to different checkpoint environments while supporting guided screening procedures.
