OSI Systems’ Security division has received a delivery order valued at approximately $21 million from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to provide Z Portal® cargo and vehicle screening systems.
Threats and Contraband – Stopped in their Tracks
Don’t let its compact design fool you: the Z Portal drive-through inspection system is designed to scan large trucks, buses, and cargo containers.
Its Z Backscatter®, Forwardscatter®, and optional dual-energy X-ray technologies capture two images from each side and two images of the top—simultaneously—providing six views that quickly highlight metallic and organic threats and contraband, such as weapons, stowaways, explosives, drugs, and alcohol.
The Z Portal system is as efficient as it is thorough.
This high-throughput screening gateway can scan up to 250 trucks every hour, which makes it ideally suited for high-traffic locations.

The delivery order was issued under the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract received in October 2016 from CBP.
OSI Systems has now received approximately $56 million in orders under this IDIQ contract since its inception.
“We look forward to supporting this customer with the implementation of our proven Z Portal cargo inspection platform utilizing advanced backscatter technology,” stated OSI Systems’ Chairman and CEO, Deepak Chopra.
