CORAL has revolutionised performance data collection, utilising
the latest in advanced, predictive analytics and secure, remote
communication connections. Using diagnostic tools and sensors,
scanners with CORAL installed automatically transmit data that
proprietary algorithms analyse and use to recommend actions. When
systems reach key performance thresholds, CORAL automatically
issues preventive maintenance tickets, allowing repairs to be
proactively scheduled without any detrimental impact on airport
operations.
A web-based operations performance dashboard unlocks
intelligence generally left untapped within hold baggage screening
and airport operations systems. Easy to access remotely via any
web-connected mobile device, the dashboard is easy-to-read on both
a desktop computer and small handheld screen. This enables machine
health and performance trends across the airport to be closely
monitored at all times, from anywhere on the site—delivering the
data needed to support timely evaluation and decision-making.
Airports can now have visibility into equipment performance and
potential outages, giving them the ability to pre-empt issues and
schedule work during off-hours. CORAL is initially being integrated
with hold baggage screening equipment, but it is compatible with
all Smiths Detection networked equipment, including air cargo and
checkpoint screening.
“The availability and uptime of security equipment is critical
to an airport’s operational flow. Any downtime or emergency
maintenance requirements put enormous pressure on operational
resources and the overall network,” commented Michael Cavanaugh,
Vice President of Global Service and Digital Solutions, Smiths
Detection. “With CORAL, both machine condition and overall
performance can be proactively monitored. This pre-emptive approach
to service and repair brings a host of potential benefits,
including longer equipment life; lower overall cost of ownership;
and a stronger ROI for security detection systems.”
CORAL is available now and can be integrated into existing
systems on-site simply by installing new hardware sensors and the
appropriate software. Equipment coming off the production line from
this month onwards will be equipped with the necessary sensors and
ready to receive the CORAL solution as required.
