The September meeting hosted more than 16,000 delegates. AUTOCLEAR X-ray equipment was used in three tunnel configurations throughout the event to inspect packages, personal items, luggage and cargo, for a variety of threat items. The scanners were installed at a wide variety of venues, including 5-star hotels and the Conference Center, as requested and operated by the Singapore Police. The Police are a longstanding owner and user of AUTOCLEAR and Scintrex fixed and portable noninvasive screening equipment for explosives and contraband detection.
