(AIM: IGE)
First customer delivery of new ultra-thin detector panel and new software
Image Scan, the AIM-listed specialist supplier of X-ray screening systems to the security and industrial inspection markets, is pleased to announce that it has made the first customer deliveries of both its new ThreatScan®-LS1 portable X-ray detector panel and ThreatSpect, its new modular control and display software.
The ThreatScan®-LS1 panel is part of a fully integrated portable X-ray system, the other elements of the system being Image Scan's portable X-ray generator and the ThreatSpect software running on a laptop computer or tablet. The new system provides market leading performance in a rugged, highly portable package and is a key element of the new ThreatScan®-LS1 range of portable X-ray detection systems launched at the Counter Terror Exhibition in London in April 2015.
The customer taking delivery of these four systems is a military organisation in the Middle East. In parallel, Image Scan has built a number of demonstration systems which are now being presented to customers and partners around the world, with a view to driving rapid adoption of the new systems.
Commenting on this news, Bill Mawer, Chairman and CEO of Image Scan, said: "I am delighted that the Company has reached this important milestone. Early feedback from customers exposed to both the panel and the new software has been overwhelmingly positive. The development of these exciting new products has taken longer than we had anticipated and those delays have impacted the Company's current year financial performance. However, we anticipate a rapid uptake of these products as the benefits are demonstrated to our global customer base."
