VMI Security is one of the world's leading manufacturers of X-ray inspection technology and security scanners. We are headquartered in the United States, with regional offices in the UK, Ecuador, Brazil, Malaysia, and Australia. As a result, we deliver and support our solutions across five continents. Our non-intrusive technology strengthens screening, control, and security across aviation, ports and borders, customs, and critical infrastructure.
Airport and Air cargo
Protect the flow of passengers and cargo with certified, high-performance aviation security. VMI screens people, baggage, and freight — from the checkpoint to the air cargo terminal, without slowing you down. Moreover, intelligent algorithms flag explosives and prohibited items automatically, so operators decide faster and with fewer errors.
Automatic Threat Detection
Intelligent algorithms flag explosives, weapons, and prohibited items automatically. This supports operator decisions and cuts human error across passenger and cargo screening.
Checkpoint Efficiency
Technology built for high-traffic terminals. Fast cabin and hold baggage screening and high-capacity conveyors reduce queues without compromising accuracy.

Ports and Customs
In high-volume environments, security must be fast and precise. Therefore, VMI combines inspection and imaging in one automated workflow. Because the process is non-intrusive, customs and port authorities screen containers and vehicles without holding up trade. High-penetration X-ray and drive-through scanning clear trucks in seconds, and automatic detection flags contraband before it passes.
Customs & Border Compliance
Our systems meet the requirements of customs and border authorities. That keeps cargo and vehicle inspection aligned with international trade-security and auditing standards.
High-Throughput Flow
Non-intrusive cargo and vehicle inspection built for ports of entry. High-penetration X-ray and drive-through scanning clear containers and trucks quickly, keeping goods and revenue moving.
Prison System
Comprehensive security for prisons starts with precise, contactless screening. Transmission imaging detects items concealed on or inside the body, so no invasive search is needed. As a result, conflicts and operating costs drop. The equipment also integrates into the facility’s network, flagging weapons and narcotics automatically to support every decision.
Non-Intrusive Body Screening
Contactless transmission imaging detects items concealed on or inside the body. It delivers accurate people screening that respects dignity and avoids invasive searches.
Conflict & Cost Reduction
Fewer manual searches mean fewer confrontations and lower costs. Faster, calmer inspection of visitors, staff, and inmates keeps the routine under control.
Forensics
VMI develops dedicated equipment for forensic institutes and hospitals. High-resolution X-ray imaging reveals projectiles, fractures, and foreign objects in fine detail. Examiners then prepare expert reports faster and more accurately. The examination is non-intrusive, so the body and the chain of evidence stay intact.
High-Resolution Imaging
Capture fine detail in bodies and evidence with high-resolution X-ray imaging. It reveals projectiles, fractures, and foreign objects that support a precise medico-legal report.
Faster, More Accurate Reports
Non-intrusive examination shortens investigation time and strengthens analysis, without compromising the body or the chain of evidence.
A wide range of security inspection equipment to support every type of screening.
Fast, accurate people screening for high-flow environments. Body and personnel inspection that keeps queues moving while detecting concealed threats, weapons, and narcotics.

FAQ
What is VMI Security’s history and expertise in the X-ray inspection market?
VMI Security has decades of experience in the development and manufacturing of X-ray inspection equipment. Our journey is defined by continuous investment in proprietary engineering and technological innovation, establishing the company as a global reference in security solutions, with a strong presence in several countries and an extensive portfolio of projects implemented in critical infrastructure.
How does VMI approach the customization of projects for different segments, such as ports and airports?
We understand that each sector has unique challenges. Therefore, our technical team conducts a detailed analysis of the client’s operational workflow, the type of cargo or passenger volume, and the expected threat level. Based on this diagnosis, we design customized solutions, integrating equipment of varying capabilities and specific software to optimize security without hindering logistics efficiency.
How does VMI support the client from the planning phase through to equipment operation?
Our service is consultative and long-term. We accompany the client from the solution design and technical feasibility analysis to installation, operational training, and after-sales support. We ensure that the client's team is fully qualified to operate the equipment and utilize the image management tools, guaranteeing the maximum return on investment.
How does the company ensure compliance with security requirements in different countries?
Our service is consultative and long-term. We accompany the client from the solution design and technical feasibility analysis to installation, operational training, and after-sales support. We ensure that the client's team is fully qualified to operate the equipment and utilize the image management tools, guaranteeing the maximum return on investment.
How does VMI handle equipment updates and evolution in the face of new security threats?
Our system architecture is designed to be modular and upgradable. When new types of threats or detection technologies emerge, it is often possible to update the image processing software or AI algorithms without replacing the entire hardware, which ensures the longevity of our clients' assets.
What are VMI’s key differentiators when serving government and defense agencies?
For government and defense sectors, we offer not only technology but absolute reliability and confidentiality. Our equipment meets the highest national security protocols, backed by specialized and agile technical support, ensuring that strategic facilities, such as borders and public buildings, maintain uninterrupted and protected operations.
What is VMI's approach to training and certifying scanner operators?
We believe that technology is only effective when paired with skilled operators. We offer structured training programs, both in-person and through threat simulation software, which prepare users to identify risks rapidly and reduce interpretation errors. Our focus is to turn the operator into a strong, efficient link in the security chain.
How do X-ray scanners help customs and border agents find narcotics, weapons and hidden compartments?
We have a strategically distributed technical support network and utilize advanced remote diagnostic tools. This allows us to identify the root cause of failures instantly via network, often resolving the issue virtually. When local intervention is required, we rely on efficient logistics for spare parts and technical teams ready for priority dispatch.
How does VMI ensure rapid response times for maintenance in remote or difficult-to-access locations?
Our customs inspection technology and border security scanner systems help agents intercept narcotics, weapons, and hidden goods by exposing density anomalies that indicate concealment. Automatic threat detection flags suspicious patterns, such as false floors in vehicles or shielded voids in cargo, that point to smuggling or commercial fraud. By combining cargo and vehicle inspection hardware with intelligent software, we give customs and law-enforcement teams faster, more reliable narcotics detection and weapon detection, raising seizure rates without slowing legitimate trade.
