AI-assisted software provides a second review for concealed weapons and contraband, helping security personnel improve screening accuracy with the Intercept® body scanner.

POWAY, Calif. - Californer -- ek84, a leading American manufacturer of security screening technology, today announced the launch of TekDetect™, AI-assisted threat detection software that helps correctional facilities and other high-security organizations improve contraband detection, strengthen screening consistency, and support operator decision-making using Tek84's Intercept® X-ray body scanner. Tek84 will demonstrate TekDetect publicly for the first time during the American Correctional Association Conference this week in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Booth 1107.

TekDetect provides an intelligent second review of body scanner images, helping operators identify concealed weapons, narcotics, and other contraband while improving consistency and supporting final screening decisions.

"Security screening remains a human-driven mission," said Albert Perez, CEO at Tek84. "TekDetect acts as a force multiplier by helping trained operators identify potential threats faster while keeping people—not AI—in control of every final screening decision."

TekDetect analyzes X-ray images by outlining detected anomalies with a yellow dashed box. The facility operator then reviews each highlighted area, determines what is present, and annotates the anomaly with a classification. Security personnel create classifications and assign each one to one of three color-coded detection levels of green, yellow or red.

Key benefits include:

Assists in identifying concealed weapons and contraband detection
Provides intelligent second-image review
Keeps trained operators in full control of final decisions
Supports standardized classifications and image annotations

"Our customers play a critical role in shaping the future of TekDetect," added Perez. "Their feedback continues to guide how we evolve the platform, and we're excited to deliver capabilities that help security teams improve detection accuracy, respond to emerging threats, and strengthen screening operations."

TekDetect is currently being evaluated by select customers in operational environments. Their feedback continues to improve detection performance.

TekDetect is available as an enhancement for Tek84's Intercept® X-ray body scanner platform and is supported by Tek84's U.S.-based engineering, training, and technical support teams. Visit the website to learn more at www.tek84.com/tekdetect .
