Security by design

Security by design means that safety and security are included from the very start in the design of terminals, seaports, border facilities, stadiums and public locations. This prevents security from being added later as a separate layer to a building or site.

Security scanner maintenance

Security scanner maintenance is essential at locations where safety and continuity are critical. This includes airports, seaports, border crossings, government facilities and public security environments.

Deep learning for the detection of hazardous substances in cargo and baggage

In the security industry, advanced technologies are becoming increasingly important for identifying threats quickly and effectively. One of the groundbreaking innovations in this field is the use of deep learning (a subset of artificial intelligence (AI))to detect suspicious substances in cargo and baggage. Deep learning enables the faster and more accurate identification of hazardous substances, such as explosives, drugs, and weapons, than ever before. But how does this technology work exactly, and why is it so powerful for security purposes? 

Transitioning to energy-efficient, sustainable technologies in security and scanning equipment

In today's world of security technologies, energy efficiency and sustainability are becoming increasingly central. Security systems, such as baggage scanning and body scanning equipment, play a crucial role in ensuring safety but often come with a significant environmental footprint. Thankfully, technological innovations are making it possible to make these systems both more sustainable and energy-efficient, without compromising performance. 

Passenger car inspection system for EES compliance at Dutch ferry ports

With the European Union set to introduce the Entry/Exit System (EES) in 2026, Dutch border authorities are under increasing pressure to modernize their screening processes, particularly at key ferry terminals such as Hoek van Holland, IJmuiden, and Rotterdam. The EES will replace manual passport stamping with digital registration, requiring biometric data and detailed travel logs for every non-EU traveler entering or exiting the Schengen Area. 

For travelers arriving in the Netherlands by car and ferry from non-EU countries, the new regulation introduces a unique operational challenge: ensuring high-level security without disrupting the flow of cross-border traffic. 

Air cargo screening solutions for strict EU security standards

EU aviation security regulations are stricter than ever before, placing increased pressure on freight terminals, ground handlers, and airport screening operators to improve how they process and inspect incoming cargo. Requirements around cargo content verification, consignor identity, and digital traceability demand not only precision, but technology capable of delivering consistent results under operational pressure. 

The growing convergence of cybersecurity and physical security

Cybersecurity and physical security now need to function as one security strategy. In modern operational environments, physical security systems no longer work independently from digital infrastructure. Inspection equipment, access control, surveillance, and monitoring platforms all depend on software, data exchange, system availability, and user management. This means that physical protection is only effective when the digital layer behind it is secure and reliable. For airports, ports, borders, and public safety organizations, the combination of both security types is no longer optional. It is necessary to maintain control, continuity, and trust in daily operations. 

AI and 3D technology in airport security

Airport security is evolving rapidly. Traditional screening methods are increasingly being replaced by AI-powered systems and advanced 3D imaging technologies that improve both safety and passenger flow. Airports worldwide are investing in smarter inspection systems that reduce delays while enhancing threat detection. 

From CT baggage scanners to walk-through body screening, modern airport security is becoming faster, more accurate, and less intrusive. At InsTech Netherlands, we help aviation and border-security operators implement inspection technologies designed for today’s high-volume environments.
