Synopsis of In-Line Baggage Screening/Checked Baggage Inspection System for TSIF

Situation: Since 9/11, the Domestic Homeland Security's (DHS's) TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) has been enforcing regulations to ensure baggage handling security screening systems are designed, developed, and deployed in accord with the TSA’s Baggage Screening Investment Study (BSIS) and related Planning Guidelines and Design Standards (PGDSs). Until now, this work had been conducted on an airport-by-airport, case-by-case basis. Issue: Eliminating the need to test various types of baggage handling system/explosives detection equipment and technology systems on site at airports by constructing a 128,000 square foot TSA System Integration Facility (TSIF) in Washington, DC. The TSIF serves as a staging area for testing and approving new explosives detection screening systems before they are deployed at airports, making the testing/approval process more cost-effective and efficient. Requirement: A fully operational In-Line Baggage Screening/Checked Baggage Inspection System in the TSIF facility.

Brock Solutions’ Role: Design, develop, and deploy an automation controls system to run the In-Line Baggage Screening/Checked Baggage Inspection System that TSIF personnel “play” with to test new equipment and configurations, and evaluate an infinite number of parameters without fear of harm to operators. Main Technology Components: Allen-Bradley ControlLogix L63 processors, RSView32, PanelView Plus 1000 HMI, PanelView 600 terminals, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft SQL database (historian), Marathon Technologies EverRun High Availability (HA) redundancy software, WebMIS (Management Information System).
