SAMDEX Combined Shoe Metal and Explosive Detection System
SAMDEX from CEIA USA is a dual-technology shoe screening system that detects metallic and explosive threats in passenger footwear without requiring shoe removal. The integrated SMD (Shoe Metal Detector) and SED (Shoe Explosive Detector) unit delivers clear OK or ALARM results in just two seconds per shoe. Designed for efficient airport checkpoint screening.
Where SAMDEX Excels

Airport Passenger Screening
Reduces secondary inspection caused by shoe metal alarms at airport security checkpoints. Eliminates the need for passengers to remove their shoes during screening. Analyzes footwear in approximately 2 seconds without disrupting passenger flow. Integrates seamlessly with walk-through metal detector gates for comprehensive screening.

Government and Secure Facilities
Automatic detection of weapons hidden in shoes while discriminating normal shoe metal components. Non-ionizing electromagnetic fields are completely harmless to personnel and visitors. Extension of the walk-through metal detector gate complying with stringent security requirements. Programmable random alarm functionality supports security protocols.

Event Security Screening
Reduces secondary inspections caused by metal components in attendee footwear at event security checkpoints. Allows guests to keep their shoes on while screening for concealed metallic threats. Analyzes footwear in approximately 2 seconds to help maintain fast, efficient entry during high-volume arrival periods. Integrates with walk-through metal detection systems to streamline secondary screening and reduce checkpoint bottlenecks.
Dual-Technology Shoe Screening Innovation
SAMDEX from CEIA USA is a dual-technology shoe screening system. It simultaneously detects metallic and explosive threats concealed in passenger footwear without requiring shoe removal. The integrated SMD (Shoe Metal Detector) and SED (Shoe Explosive Detector) technologies provide clear OK or ALARM results for each shoe using advanced material property analysis.
SAMDEX improves security while increasing checkpoint efficiency. Individuals keep their shoes on during screening, eliminating X-ray shoe checks and helping maintain faster passenger throughput.
The system delivers step-by-step visual and audio guidance for both the passenger and the operator, completing analysis in approximately 2 seconds per shoe. A 5.7-inch TFT display shows system status and security settings, while Ethernet connectivity enables integration with centralized checkpoint management systems.
SAMDEX also incorporates intelligent recognition features to enhance screening accuracy and reduce unnecessary alarms. Safety shoe recognition automatically identifies specialized footwear, while prosthetics metal recognition distinguishes metal associated with prosthetics or medical implants from potential security threats. These capabilities help security personnel maintain reliable detection performance while accommodating passengers with specialized footwear or medical devices.

Specifications
Dual-Technology Detection (SMD + SED)
SAMDEX integrates Shoe Metal Detector (SMD) and Shoe Explosive Detector (SED) technologies in one system. This enables simultaneous detection of metallic weapons and explosive materials concealed in passenger footwear during a single screening step.
Shoes-On Screening
Passengers keep their shoes on during inspection while the system detects both metal and explosive threats. Eliminating shoe removal improves passenger comfort and increases checkpoint throughput.
2-Second Analysis Time
Each shoe is analyzed in approximately two seconds, enabling rapid screening at busy airport security checkpoints. Fast analysis supports high passenger volumes without creating screening delays.
Clear OK / ALARM Detection Results
The integrated system provides clear OK or ALARM results for every shoe inspected. Simple binary results help security personnel make fast and consistent screening decisions
Accessories
Screening Environments with Steel Toe Footwear
Facilities where employees wear steel toe or reinforced safety footwear face unique screening challenges. Standard metal detectors often trigger alarms from the metal components in work boots, slowing screening and requiring unnecessary secondary inspections. SAMDEX is designed to recognize and discriminate common workplace metal components, helping maintain both security and operational efficiency.
