Detection Technology: Detection Technology unveils X-Cargo: Pioneering detector modules for high-speed, high-energy inspection

14 May 2025 • Press Releases Detection Technology unveils X-Cargo: Pioneering detector modules for high-speed, high-energy inspection Detection Technology Plc press release 14 May 2025 at 13:00 (EEST) Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, unveils X-Cargo-an advanced multirow detector family purpose-built to set a new benchmark in high-speed, high-energy X-ray imaging performance. Built on a novel detector technology, X-Cargo is tailored for cargo scanning and other demanding MeV-level applications, combining speed, resolution, and sustainability in a single modular platform. X-Cargo meets the demanding needs of modern cargo inspection in critical security environments such as ports, border crossings, and customs checkpoints. It enables fast, non-intrusive scanning without manual inspections, ensuring efficient control over goods moving through high-risk infrastructures. Primarily used for truck and train cargo scanning, X-Cargo also serves growing industrial applications like dense metal waste sorting and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) of assembled automotive parts and battery systems. With support for scanning speeds up to 70 km/h in single energy Linac systems and 36 km/h in dual energy setups, X-Cargo offers unmatched performance in its class. This is made possible by its upgraded architecture featuring up to eight rows of photodiodes, a leap from the previous standard of one, significantly enhancing resolution and post-processing potential. This positions X-Cargo well above conventional solutions, which are limited to single- or double-row photodiode configurations and a maximum scanning speed of 8 km/h. The newly designed high-speed, optical 10Gbps control board is another key innovation, capable of managing up to 80 detectors with a single board. This opens the door to building larger system designs and multi-view configurations, crucial for high-throughput environments and more comprehensive inspections. This scalable, platform-based approach separates the sensor and data acquisition board, offering software-configurable flexibility and faster servicing-only necessary components need replacing, which reduces downtime and contributes to environmental sustainability. Traditionally, hazardous materials such as cadmium have been used in high-energy detectors under certain exemptions. These are now being replaced with more sustainable alternatives. True to Detection Technology's values, X-Cargo supports a responsible product lifecycle, reflecting the company's commitment to delivering high-performance, safe, and future-proof technologies. "With this release, we aim to position ourselves as a market leader in cargo inspection. We have introduced to the market standard cargo detectors since 2005, and now are stregthening our position as a pioneer in the field," stated Carlos Castillo, Product Manager at Detection Technology. "We participated in an EU project, MultiScan 3D, which developed a static CT cargo system using brand-new technology based on laser-driven X-ray sources. There was a market need to increase scanning speeds in conventional X-ray cargo systems. Thanks to our new matrix detector concept and control board, the system can now be built larger, making it easier to implement a multi-view setup." The launch of X-Cargo reinforces Detection Technology's legacy of innovation in X-ray detectors. It delivers a competitive edge to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in both the security and industrial sectors by enabling faster inspections, greater system flexibility, and superior image quality-all while supporting environmental and regulatory compliance.
