The project involved outfitting Khalifa Port and Zayed Port Customs Centers with five advanced devices that adhere to the highest standards of radiological health and safety, including two devices for scanning bags and parcels and two devices for scanning containers and trucks at Khalifa Port, and one device for scanning containers at Zayed Port.
Each device can handle up to 120 trucks per hour, all connected to a control room for continuous monitoring of operations.
