3DX-RAY’s AXIS CXi secures government facility in Lithuania
3DX-RAY is pleased to announce that its advanced AXIS CXi mailroom screening system has been selected to protect a government facility in Lithuania from the ever-present threat of postal bombs, hazardous substances, and other prohibited items.
The AXIS CXi represents a significant advancement in mailroom screening technology. Its colour imaging capability enables operators not only to identify the shape of 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 explosives are shown in green. A greyscale mode supports 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 suitable for deployment across a wide variety of environments, including government offices, corporate headquarters, hotel lobbies, financial institutions, and retail locations.
Vince Deery, CEO of 3DX-RAY, commented:
"AXIS CXi was originally developed to bring the advanced colour differentiation technology used in airport baggage screening into the mailroom environment. Since its launch, the system has quickly demonstrated its versatility across a broad range of security applications.
We are delighted to have secured this latest order from Lithuania, further expanding the growing international deployment of AXIS CXi systems. Government organisations face an increasingly complex range of threats delivered through the postal and parcel network, and AXIS CXi provides security teams with the tools they need to detect suspicious items quickly, accurately, and with confidence. This contract reinforces the system’s reputation as a highly effective and adaptable screening solution for organisations where security is paramount."
The award further strengthens 3DX-RAY’s presence in the European security market and highlights the increasing demand for advanced, user-friendly screening solutions capable of addressing evolving security threats in government and critical infrastructure environments. m
