OSI Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider
of specialized electronic products for critical applications in the
security and healthcare industries, announced today that its Security
division, Rapiscan Systems, has received a contract for approximately
$5.0 million from an undisclosed international aviation customer for
its new Rapiscan MVXi multi-view X-ray systems for passenger
screening.
The Rapiscan MVXi is a multi-view X-ray system designed with
advanced software to highlight explosives and other potential threat
objects. Additionally, the multi-view platform also reduces the need
to reposition carry-on bags during the inspection process thereby
expediting the passenger screening process which, together with the
systems lighter weight and energy efficient design is expected to
lower the airports' long-run cost of ownership.
Ajay Mehra, President of Rapiscan Systems, stated, "The Rapiscan
MVXi is among the most advanced checkpoint X-ray systems currently on
the market. The system, designed specifically towards improving
security and passenger throughput at the aviation checkpoint, should
ultimately lead to shorter queues, fewer delays and less hassle during
the passenger screening process. Initial customer response has been
extremely positive and we are currently involved in active discussions
with numerous international aviation customers regarding these new
X-ray systems."
