This latest deployment, according to the company, further demonstrates the growing international confidence in the Axis CXI as a highly effective solution for safeguarding diplomatic missions and other high-security facilities.
The Axis CXI represents a significant advancement in mailroom screening technology. Its colour imaging capability enables operators not only to identify the shape of concealed objects but also to assess the composition of materials. Organic materials—including explosives, narcotics, chemicals, and even benign items such as food—are highlighted in orange. Metals such as firearms, knives, and potential IED components appear in blue, while inorganic materials commonly associated with improvised explosive devices are shown in green. A greyscale mode provides additional support for precise shape recognition.
This multi-layered visualisation allows operators, even with minimal training, to conduct more accurate, efficient, and confident assessments, helping organisations strengthen security while maintaining operational efficiency.
The Axis CXi cabinet X-ray system has been evaluated using the UK Mail Screening Test Piece (MSTP), a recognised methodology for assessing imaging performance in mail screening systems. The evaluation includes Tests 1–8, which examine factors such as resolution, penetration, and the identification of complex materials within mail items. These results provide an indication of system performance and are intended to support organisations in selecting appropriate screening capabilities as part of a broader mail security strategy aligned with the principles of PAS 97:2021.
Beyond imaging performance, the Axis CXi introduces a notable innovation in system design. It combines an exceptionally large inspection chamber with a compact footprint, enabling the screening of not only mail and parcels but also larger items such as bags and aircraft cabin luggage.
The system is fully mobile and features a modern, unobtrusive design, making it particularly well suited to embassy environments where security, flexibility, and aesthetics are equally important.
Vince Deery, CEO of 3D X-Ray, commented, "Embassies face a unique and evolving range of threats, with mailrooms often serving as the first line of defence against suspicious packages and hazardous materials. Axis CXI was developed to bring the sophisticated colour differentiation technology traditionally associated with airport baggage screening into a compact and versatile platform suitable for government and diplomatic facilities.
We are delighted to secure this latest embassy installation in Switzerland, which further expands the international footprint of the Axis CXi. The selection of our system by another diplomatic mission reflects the growing demand for advanced screening solutions that combine exceptional imaging performance, ease of use, and operational flexibility. Axis CXI continues to demonstrate its ability to meet the security needs of organisations where trust, reliability, and rapid threat detection are critical."
The order further strengthens 3D X-Ray’s presence within the European security market and highlights the increasing demand for advanced, user-friendly screening solutions capable of addressing evolving threats to diplomatic, government, and critical infrastructure facilities.
