CORSYS: Innovation for containers scanning

Inspecting shipping containers as they move on and off ships and through ports is a time intensive operation. Each ship holds around 2,000 containers and each one takes a few minutes to scan and longer to search.

Earlier this year Smiths Group, a UK-based engineering company that covers markets in security and defence, medical technology, oil & gas, space & aerospace and general industry, introduced CORSYS – an enterprise-level security command centre – to make the process of scanning shipping containers quicker and easier.

CORSYS is a secure, cloud-based, digital ecosystem that integrates data from an array of devices and processes to support critical port and border security. It consolidates this information into a single command centre display eliminating the need for security operations managers to access multiple, independent bespoke systems to obtain the information they require.

“People working at ports and borders were literally moving, physically moving, from one system to another to get all of these different data sets and reports,” explains Keir Boxshall, head of innovation at Smiths Group. “Not even just opening different software on the same computer, but having to go somewhere else to get extra data. It sounds bonkers, but that is still the situation in a lot of places. What CORSYS does is essentially put all of that in one place. So, it’s hugely time saving.”
