NUCTECH

Advancements in robotics have redefined the security and surveillance space, with robust, autonomous robots optimizing various operations. Coupled with developments in connectivity, 5G, and AI, robotics is evolving beyond conventional boundaries, offering a broad spectrum of professional services. From moving loads, countering illegal concealment in hard-to-reach places, and handling security inspections in harsh environments to substituting guard patrols, modern robotics is ushering in a new era in the security and surveillance industry.

NUCTECH, a leading security solution supplier, stands as a testament to the growing popularity of robotics in customs, border crossings, aviation, urban security, and nuclear power plants. Thanks to its commitment to technological innovation and creating a safer world, NUCTECH offers robot-enabled security solutions built with precision to address the challenges facing security teams. Its solutions include cargo/vehicle and under-vehicle inspection robots, patrolling robots, and robot-assisted luggage handling systems.

NUCTECH’s MR6000DE robot is the industry’s first LINAC cargo/vehicle inspection robot. Its transformer-like structure enables easy deployment for operations and folds up for transportation. The robotic scanner is equipped with universal wheels and navigation skills for quick movements in all directions, along with 360-degree rotation, allowing it to perform continuous multirow container scans, double-sided scans, and quick relocation of scanning sites. This exceptional agility makes it the ideal solution to navigate narrow spaces at ports and border crossings.

A versatile ten-in-one solution for one-stop screening, MR6000DE integrates ten detection modules like radioactive material detection, nuclide identification, license plate recognition, voice broadcast, obstacle avoidance, container number recognition, CCTV, ultra-high or wide alarming, intruder alarming, and vehicle type recognition.

The smart robot, WETAN R100, handles vehicle screening operations. It’s a small footprint, highly versatile, easy-to-use, and flexible backscatter inspection robot that delivers photo-like images to reveal concealments in real time with its non-contact X-ray backscatter imaging technology. With an intelligent chassis and rechargeable battery, it scans cars in under 3 minutes in various scanning modes like shuttle, swing, surrounding, and drive-by, enabling efficient single-sided or double-sided detection. Built on an ingenious automatic lifting platform, it can be configured to the optimum height to generate a complete view of vehicles, making it the best security solution for border authorities, law enforcement agencies, and customs.

Mounted with multiple cameras and sensors, NUCTECH’s VR1000, an undervehicle inspection robot, can automatically perform continuous inspections to detect suspicious concealment or illegal modifications on chassis. It aligns with vehicle centers, captures license plate numbers, and takes photos to create a panoramic picture of the scanned vehicle chassis with a single touch of the screen. Aided by AI, it performs automatic target recognition by comparing scanned and archived pictures to alert suspicious changes.

“The ease of use, high efficiency, and reduced labor requirement make it a vital piece of the security posture for major events and high-risk facilities,” says Prof. Zhiqiang CHEN, chairman of NUCTECH. “At G20 Indonesia, VR1000 robots have been deployed to ward off threats and ensure the event is safe and successful.”

NUCTECH’s CIR1000 is a proven assistant robot that helps customs officers inspect specific containers for secondary screenings. Equipped with advanced sensors and AI, it immediately alerts the presence of any radioactive material or toxic gas to protect officers from exposure to health risks while offering automatic identification of common goods and quick comparison with the manifest for adjudication. It’s based on a library that can be expanded or updated, boosting the efficiency of secondary inspections. The robot receives inspection instructions, provides feedback on cargo conditions, verifies container numbers and the sealing status, sends onsite pictures, monitors inspection, and takes recordings to prevent fraud and collusion.
In addition to screening, NUCTECH’s solutions can replace humans for tedious and labor-intensive jobs, such as patrolling in complicated or dangerous settings. Its iGuard™ GR3000S automatically patrols secured facilities 24/7 and alerts anomalies, like watch list suspects, or the presence of hazardous materials.

NUCTECH’s expertise also entails robust robotics technology, offering intelligent assistance, streamlined operations, standardized processing, and expert technical support to human operators. Its autonomous luggage handling robot, iBonnie™Porter100, boosts baggage screening efficiency by eliminating the need for screening officers to move bags. The robot picks the bag requiring further scrutiny from the conveyor, delivers it to inspection stations for secondary screening, and transfers it back, streamlining the process without compromising security.

The key to NUCTECH’s success is its long-lasting customer relationships that pave the way for developing ideal solutions for clients’ varying requirements. This focus on scenario adaptation sets it apart from the competition. For example, the firm, together with Tianjin Customs Laboratory, developed a customized robot equipped with multiple sensors to detect hazardous or toxic vapors in containers. It identifies more than 110 kinds of volatile organic compounds with minimal manual interaction while it can be integrated with existing processes, allowing for rapid vapor detection without delays to the shipment. Its customer-centric approach also extends to providing reliable after-sale services 24/7.

As the security landscape continues to evolve, security solution specialists like NUCTECH embraces Robotics technology to emerge as a trailblazer to fully unleash the power of automation while streamlining and optimizing operations even in inaccessible places. It’s a perfect answer for authorities to address the prevalent problem of staff shortages. With AI, IoT, and cloud computing advancing, its security robots constantly evolve their capabilities to be more flexible, adaptive, and customizable to better accommodate diverse customer needs.
