What Should You Actually Be Screening For?

The right checkpoint for a stadium is the wrong one for a mailroom, and airport-grade screening is usually the wrong answer everywhere except an airport. Pick your sector and we'll tell you what we'd recommend, what we wouldn't, and why.

Stadiums & Venues

Thousands of people through a handful of gates, and a licensing authority asking questions. Archways tuned to the real threat, AI lanes for the bags.

What we'd recommend →
Aviation screening equipment prepared in the RedteQ workshop
Regulated

Airports & Aviation

Cabin baggage, hold baggage and cargo, C1 and C2 systems on hire as well as purchase, and equipment that cannot be down.

What we'd recommend →

Hire

Events & Festivals

A field, a fixed licence condition and a gate that opens on time. Hired, installed and supported all weekend.

Security screening in a London corporate lobby
Corporate

Offices & Receptions

Screening that fits through a standard door and reads as part of the building — plus boardroom listening and recording device detection.

What we'd recommend →

Mail & parcels

Mailrooms & Post Rooms

The one place a threat arrives by invitation. Cabinet X-ray, no conveyor, no dedicated room.

What we'd recommend →
Concealed item detection in a custodial setting
Custodial

Prisons & Custodial

Phones concealed internally, drugs impregnated into paper. Archways with a custodial setting, plus concealed item and trace detection.

What we'd recommend →
Screening lanes in a busy transport terminal hall
Rail & terminals

Transport Hubs

Screening that never gets a quiet period. Paragon archways, 6040 and 8065 X-ray lanes with AI detection, plus left luggage screening that keeps the queue down.

What we'd recommend →
Concealed item detection indicating a device on a person
Devices in & out

Data Centres

Phones and cameras in, drives and hardware out. The direction that matters is usually the one nobody screens.

What we'd recommend →
Screening equipment aboard a cruise ship
Maritime

Cruise Lines & Terminals

Every passenger and bag screened boarding at the terminal, and again each time they re-board in port. Sailing times don't move for a broken machine.

What we'd recommend →
In-flight services trolley X-ray with a catering cart on the conveyor
Airline catering

In-Flight Supplies

Meals, bar carts, blankets and duty-free reach the aircraft without passing a passenger checkpoint. Trolleys screened whole, no breaking down.

What we'd recommend →
Body scanning screen showing concealed items on people walking through
Shrinkage

Loss Prevention

Distribution, retail, mining and high-value storage. Screening your own staff at shift change, without treating them like suspects.

What we'd recommend →
Containerised screening checkpoint built by RedteQ
CNI

Critical Infrastructure

Many gates, no buildings, constant contractors. One consistent standard without one identical shopping list.

Why we do it this way

The Wrong Question Is "What's The Best Machine?"

The best machine is the one that finds what you are actually worried about, at the speed your site can sustain, operated by the people you actually have. Those three constraints differ enormously between a prison visits hall and a corporate reception, which is why a catalogue is a poor way to buy screening.

Every sector page here includes a section on what you probably don't need. That isn't modesty — it's the most useful thing we know. We are independent, we hold agreements across the market, and we would rather specify less equipment that gets used every day than more than you can staff.

Not Listed, Or Not Sure?

Schools, hospitals, courts, retail, embassies, film sets — we screen for all of them. Tell us what you're protecting and we'll tell you what's proportionate.
