Trump announces trade deal with EU following months of negotiations
LONDON - Thruvision Group plc (AIM:THRU), a leader in walk-through security technology, has announced the inaugural installation of its Thruvision 81 Series system in a UK prison this week. The deployment marks the company’s first sale to a British correctional facility and is aimed at enhancing security by detecting contraband and weapons among inmates.
The Thruvision 81 Series is designed to identify both metallic and non-metallic items hidden under clothing, including drugs, weapons, and cell phones. The system’s ’Detection-at-Range’ technology allows for safe screening processes while maintaining a respectful distance, in compliance with GDPR regulations. It is also suitable for screening juvenile subjects and can be rapidly deployed at various locations within a prison.
This technology has been implemented in European prisons since 2022, where it has reportedly been effective in seizing contraband. Thruvision’s AI-based technology is known for its ability to screen large numbers of individuals expediently and without physical contact, which is essential in high-security environments like prisons.
Thruvision’s systems are utilized in more than 30 countries by both government and commercial entities. The company, with offices near Oxford and Washington DC, specializes in advanced AI-based walk-through security technology.
The press release statement from Thruvision does not detail the financial aspects of the sale or the specific prison where the system has been installed. However, the deployment signifies a strategic move for Thruvision as it expands its reach within the UK’s security sector. The company’s technology is part of a broader trend towards enhancing security measures in public and private institutions through advanced screening technologies.
Investors and industry watchers may view this development as an indicator of Thruvision’s growing presence in the security technology market, particularly within the correctional facility niche. The company’s ability to penetrate the UK prison system could potentially lead to further adoption of its technology in similar institutions across the country.
