The R&S®QPS automated detection capability relies on AI-based algorithms that are trained to target a wide range of object classes of all materials, such as metals, liquids, ceramics, plastics, granulates, powders, organics and much more. This differentiates the R&S®QPS scanners from traditional metal detectors and allows the scanner to not only keep up with evolving threat scenarios but also meet specific application requirements.
R&S®QPS scanners can detect 3D-printed weapons, bank notes, small perfume bottles, data bearing devices and metal powders – just to name a few examples. It does not, however, limit itself to the particular objects it was trained with. Rather, it detects anomalies in general to discover new and unknown threats.
