Your security teams screen thousands of bags daily, but traditional X-ray systems miss threats or trigger constant false alarms. Athena Security’s AI-powered baggage screening technology detects concealed weapons, explosives, contraband, and prohibited items in real time.
Highlights:
AI detects threats traditional systems miss
Reduces false alarms
Processes bags at normal screening speed
Athena Security has deployed AI-assisted X-ray solutions across airports, government facilities, and high-security venues since 2018. Our platform integrates with existing baggage screening operations and works with major X-ray hardware systems.
Unlike traditional X-ray scanners that require operators to manually identify every potential threat, our artificial intelligence analyzes each scan automatically. Your security personnel focus only on verified alerts, improving accuracy while reducing operator fatigue.
Our automated screening system uses artificial intelligence to analyze baggage X-ray images as bags pass through the scanner. The technology detects firearms, knives, ammunition, explosives, drugs, and contraband in real time.
The platform differentiates between organic and inorganic materials, identifying concealed objects that traditional systems miss. When a threat is detected, security staff receive visual information with the exact location highlighted. False alarms drop to 0.001 percent.
This solution runs the AI model directly on an Apple iPad Pro 13-inch tablet, eliminating cloud processing delays. The on-device system analyzes X-ray images locally, delivering threat alerts in milliseconds.
Local processing means your data stays on-site, addressing privacy and security concerns for classified or sensitive screening environments. The iPad integrates seamlessly with your existing X-ray scanner, adding AI capabilities without replacing hardware.
The Workforce Multiplier combines AI X-ray and weapons detection monitoring on a single operator console. One security staff member manages both baggage screening and walkthrough metal detection simultaneously.
Your operators monitor unified alerts from multiple security systems on one iPad display. The AI prioritizes threats automatically, so operators respond to the highest-risk situations first. Facilities typically reduce security personnel costs by 40 percent.
Second Look AI provides cloud-based secondary review of flagged X-ray images from a central operations center. Remote analysts verify threats detected by on-site systems, adding a second layer of accuracy.
The centralized system allows expert analysts to review questionable scans without delaying on-site screening. Bags continue moving through checkpoints while remote teams verify potential threats in parallel.
This specialized AI model identifies drone components and 3D-printed firearm parts in baggage and cargo. Traditional X-ray operators struggle to recognize these emerging threats because the objects lack standard weapon signatures.
The technology analyzes object shapes, densities, and configurations to flag potential drone batteries, motors, controllers, and polymer weapon components. Security teams receive alerts with highlighted visual markers showing exactly where suspicious items appear.
Athena delivers capabilities other security solutions cannot match. Our platform addresses real-world challenges security personnel face while helping organizations meet federal compliance requirements.
Most weapons detection vendors lock you into proprietary equipment. That means limited choices and potential vendor dependence for years. Athena’s platform works with Apollo 500, Apollo 650, CEIA Opengate, Garrett, and Metrasens Ultra systems. You select hardware that matches your throughput requirements, budget constraints, and facility layout.
Athena is the only platform designed specifically around Department of Homeland Security best practices for patron screening. The system digitizes and enforces guidelines including documentation requirements, testing protocols, and secondary screening procedures. When auditors arrive, you have complete documentation.
We pioneered and patented technology that detects visitors attempting to bypass screening entirely. Traditional metal detectors only monitor the portal itself. Our computer vision algorithms monitor the entire screening area continuously. When individuals attempt to evade detection, security staff receive instant notifications. This proactive threat detection catches attempts other gun detection systems miss completely.
While competitors offer point solutions, Athena integrates weapons detection with visitor management, AI X-ray screening, telepresence security, and augmented reality alert glasses. When the X-ray system detects a threat, it automatically alerts AR glasses and triggers personalized hologram instructions. That integration creates layered security measures traditional systems cannot provide.

Traditional baggage screening creates operational bottlenecks while missing sophisticated concealed threats. X-ray operators face overwhelming image volumes that lead to fatigue and missed detections.
AI analyzes every scan automatically and alerts operators only to verified threats, reducing cognitive load by 90 percent.
Traditional systems flag harmless items constantly, requiring secondary inspections that create passenger delays and waste security resources.
Our artificial intelligence distinguishes between actual threats and everyday objects, cutting false alarms to 0.001 percent.
Operators trained on conventional weapons miss 3D-printed firearms, drone components, and novel explosive configurations that lack familiar signatures.
AI models dynamically adjust to recognize new threat patterns, detecting emerging dangers that traditional training doesn’t cover.
Facilities need multiple trained X-ray operators per checkpoint but face ongoing hiring shortages and high turnover in security positions.
Workforce Multiplier technology lets one operator monitor both X-ray and metal detection systems simultaneously.
Manual threat verification creates queues during busy periods as operators examine questionable scans while bags accumulate on conveyor systems.
Automated screening maintains constant processing speed, and belt stop technology pauses only when verified threats require inspection.
Detection accuracy varies by operator experience, shift timing, and individual attention levels, creating security gaps across different checkpoints.
Manual screening misses most concealed weapons. One undetected threat can lead to catastrophic incidents with average settlements exceeding $8 million. Your insurance premiums increase annually while coverage gaps widen.
TSA and DHS mandate advanced detection capabilities for regulated facilities. Operations without AI screening face compliance violations, federal funding restrictions, and operational shutdowns. Retrofit costs rise 30% annually.
Manual screening requires 2.5 times more security staff than AI-assisted operations. You're spending $180,000-$240,000 annually per checkpoint on salaries and training. Staff turnover hits 45% due to operator fatigue.
Organizations without documented AI capabilities face automatic disqualification from government contracts. Security-conscious clients demand verifiable detection standards, and competitors with advanced screening capture your market share.
