Body Scanners for Non-Intrusive People Screening
Improve checkpoint security with advanced body scanning solutions designed to detect concealed items while maintaining a safe, privacy-friendly screening process. Penta Technology Solutions supplies, installs, and supports body scanners across Sri Lanka.
What is a body scanner used for in security screening?
A security body scanner is used to detect concealed items on a person using non-intrusive screening technology. It helps improve safety at high-security checkpoints while supporting faster, consistent screening.
Why Body Scanners Are Used in High-Security Facilities
When standard screening is not enough, body scanners offer an additional security layer by improving the ability to detect concealed items. These systems help organisations:
High-security
Reduce risk at high-security entrances
Consistency
Improve screening consistency and reduce manual uncertainty
Automated
Support faster processing with automated detection
Privacy
Maintain privacy-friendly screening procedures
Body scanning is typically deployed where high assurance is required—such as secure government sites, controlled institutions, and critical infrastructure facilities.
Body Scanner Solutions We Provide
Millimeter-Wave Body Scanners
Millimeter-wave scanners are widely used for security screening to detect concealed objects on a person.
Common use cases
- Airport passenger screening
- Government and court checkpoints
- High-security building entrances
Key advantages
- Non-intrusive screening method
- Designed to support privacy modes (system dependent)
- Suitable for high-throughput checkpoints
Advanced Screening Options
Depending on your environment, we can recommend models or configurations that prioritise:
- Faster throughput for busy entrances
- Automated alarm/indicator features to guide secondary checks
- Enhanced workflow for controlled facilities
Key Features to Expect in Professional Body Scanners

User-friendly interface.
Support for high throughput screening.
Designed for routine daily operation.
How Body Scanning Works
- Guided screening: The person enters the scanning area and follows operator instructions.
- Scan process: The system performs a rapid scan.
- Result output: Clear result or alarm indicator (system dependent).
- Secondary screening: If needed, security performs a targeted follow-up check using SOP.
This approach improves security outcomes while maintaining a controlled and respectful screening process.

Choosing the Right Body Scanner for Your Facility
Quick selection guide
- High throughput entrances → millimeter-wave scanners designed for fast processing
- Controlled facilities → strong SOP alignment + clear alarm workflow
- High-risk environments → layered screening (body scanning + metal detection + X-ray for bags)
What we consider during consultation
- Expected screening volume
- Available space and checkpoint layout
- Privacy requirements and operational policy
- Staffing and SOP for secondary checks
- Power, environment, and placement constraints
Installation, Commissioning & Support
Penta Technology Solutions provides end-to-end implementation support.
What we can handle
- Site assessment and solution recommendation
- Supply, installation, and configuration
- Operator guidance and best practices for checkpoint flow
- Ongoing support and maintenance options (based on requirements)
Best Practices for Effective Body Scanner Operations
- Clearly separate people screening from bag screening lanes
- Use privacy-respecting SOPs and signage to guide visitors
- Combine body scanning with X-ray (bags) and metal detection (people) where required
- Train operators on consistent flow management to avoid bottlenecks
- Perform routine checks and servicing for stable performance
