Image-on-Alarm-Only (IOAO)
for Faster CT Checkpoints
Reduce manual image review, relieve staffing pressure,
and increase throughput
Automated Security Screening
for Higher Throughput
Today’s passenger volumes have outgrown manual image review. When officers must review every CT image, hundreds per hour queues rise, performance varies by shift, and staffing needs scale with volume.
Image-on-Alarm-Only (IOAO) flips the model: SeeTrue’s certified AI automatically evaluates all bags and flags suspicious ones for officer review. Under IOAO, a portion of AI-cleared bags passes through without manual review. You get a faster, steadier checkpoint while keeping your current scanners, lanes, and operator interface.
AI Screens Every Bag.
Officers Resolve Every Alarm.
IOAO is designed for airport operations: AI screens every bag in real time, and officers focus on alarms. That means fewer bottlenecks, more consistent performance across shifts, and better use of existing staffing.
Every bag passes through your existing CT scanner
SeeTrue integrates directly into your CT Scanner, keeping your hardware, workflows, and operator interface exactly as they are. Deployment is designed to minimize operational disruption.
SeeTrue's APIDS algorithm analyzes the CT image in real time
The APIDS algorithm evaluates each CT scan in real time and consistently supports compliant operations and stable performance across peak hours, teams, and terminals.
A portion of the cleared bags moves through without interruption
Some bags are automatically cleared with no officer intervention, reducing unnecessary stops and helping keep passengers and trays moving efficiently.
When a potential threat is detected, an alert appears in the existing UI
Alerts appear in the scanner’s native interface so officers can resolve alarms quickly. With fewer benign images, officers arrive at each alarm more focused, supporting faster decisions and steadier detection.
Supported CT Scanners
SeeTrue’s machine-agnostic approach enables seamless connectivity with CT machines, offering compatibility across various machines and vendors.
Why do airports choose IOAO?
Increase throughput without adding lanes
Clear bags flow with fewer manual review stops, helping reduce queues during peak demand.
Do more with the team you have
Officers focus on alarms, not routine clears, reducing workload pressure and helping staffing scale better with volume.
Operational continuity
Integrates into existing CT infrastructure and UI to help avoid disruptive workflow changes.
Steadier performance across shifts
Less benign-image exposure helps reduce fatigue and supports consistent decisions from the first bag to the last.
Built for compliant operations
ECAC certified for APIDS Standard 1, with deployments designed to align with regulator requirements and airport governance.
Scales with your airport
Designed to expand across terminals and scanner platforms as volumes grow and standards evolve.
The operational difference:
before and after IOAO
Traditional screening
- The officer reviews every single image, clear or not
- High benign volume contributes to fatigue and variable decision quality
- Throughput and wait times are limited by human review speed
- Peak periods require additional staffing to prevent bottlenecks
- Staffing requirements scale linearly with volume
- Costs scale with volume when manual review is the limiting factor
IOAO with SeeTrue
- AI clears safe bags automatically, and officers focus only on alarms
- Fewer unnecessary stops help reduce queues and improve passenger flow
- Throughput increases without adding headcount
- Consistent, certified AI performance every shift
- The same staff can handle higher volumes with less strain
- A scalable model for peak periods and long-term traffic growth
FAQ
IOAO is a workflow where AI automatically clears CT baggage images, and officers review only alarms that require human judgment.
No. SeeTrue is designed to integrate into existing CT environments and uses the scanner’s native interface.
Airports typically evaluate IOAO for reduced manual review workload, improved flow during peaks, and steadier officer performance across shifts.
SeeTrue is ECAC certified for APIDS Standard 1, and deployments are structured to support airport governance and regulatory requirements.
