ABOUT HISSCO

HISSCO is a global designer and manufacturer of advanced security X-ray systems, delivering reliable imaging performance across government, aviation, logistics, and critical infrastructure sectors. With more than 9,000 systems deployed worldwide and an expanding operational footprint in the United States, we provide screening technology engineered for high-throughput, mission-critical environments.

Our differentiation lies in complete engineering ownership—from system design and component selection to manufacturing, integration, installation, and lifetime support. This approach ensures every HISSCO system delivers long-term stability, predictable maintenance costs, and exceptional operational uptime. Our AI-Assisted Imaging™ platform enhances threat recognition and reduces operator fatigue, while our compact mechanical architecture allows certain units to fit through standard U.S. commercial door frames—an important advantage for facilities with limited space or retrofit constraints.

A significant portion of every system is manufactured using high-grade U.S.-sourced components, including imaging subsystems, control electronics, PCB assemblies, and precision structural parts. This strengthens supply-chain resilience, improves parts availability, and ensures long-term service continuity. For U.S. customers, this translates directly into lower life-cycle cost and higher operational confidence.

All HISSCO systems meet or exceed FDA 21 CFR 1020.40ANSI N43.3, and the performance expectations associated with strict aviation compliance requirements, including penetration benchmarks and resolution standards used throughout the global aviation sector. This clarity ensures U.S. buyers can adopt our technology with confidence in both regulatory alignment and operational suitability.

With a focus on engineering integrity, service excellence, and dependable long-term performance, HISSCO continues to be a trusted security technology partner for organisations across the United States and around the world.

MANUFACTURING & COMPONENT INTEGRITY

HISSCO’s manufacturing philosophy is centred on precision, reliability, and serviceability. The integration of U.S.-made imaging components, control units, and sensor assemblies ensures every system is built on a foundation of durability and engineering accuracy. These components are selected for stability, thermal performance, and long-term reliability—critical attributes for environments where continuous operation is essential.

By prioritising U.S.-manufactured parts, we improve supply-chain strength, ensure predictable access to replacements, and reduce long-term operational costs. This approach supports compliance, enhances system lifespan, and improves service response across a wide range of U.S. industries, including aviation, border protection, homeland security, and commercial logistics.

Maintenance

Maintenance & Support

HISSCO’s support model is engineered for organisations that demand consistency and minimal downtime. With average uptime exceeding 99.8% across global installations, our systems are maintained through a combination of skilled technical teams, strategically placed U.S. parts inventory, and the capability to perform component-level and board-level repairs.

We provide tailored maintenance programs ranging from preventative maintenance and extended warranties to comprehensive service agreements and rapid-response interventions. This structure ensures that U.S. airports, federal facilities, logistics hubs, and critical infrastructure sites maintain uninterrupted operations. Our focus is on fast response times, high parts availability, and dependable technical expertise—ensuring long-term system stability and predictable operational planning.

Performance Advantages

For over three decades, HISSCO has specialised in the design and optimisation of X-ray screening systems for high-volume, high-security environments. Our equipment is engineered to operate continuously with minimal intervention, delivering consistent image quality, stable throughput, and dependable threat detection performance.

The HS Detection range reflects this commitment to reliability. Each system undergoes rigorous field testing and component validation to ensure resilience in demanding environments such as U.S. airports, border facilities, military bases, and large-scale logistics operations. Our AI-Assisted Imaging™ technology further enhances operator performance by improving clarity, reducing review time, and supporting faster, more accurate decision-making.

With an industry-leading five-year warranty, compact configuration options, and advanced imaging performance that aligns with strict aviation standards for penetration and resolution, HISSCO provides technology designed for long-term operational continuity and high-security environments.

Our commitment to engineering quality, service continuity, and dependable performance positions HISSCO at the forefront of security screening technology for the U.S. market.
