HALO X-ray Technologies (HALO), the pioneering X-ray detection technology company, today announces that it has completed a funding round led by Agilent Technologies Inc, with both UKI2S and MEIF following their previous investments.
This investment represents a significant vote of confidence from three existing investors who have worked closely with HALO and have seen first-hand the progress of its technology, commercial development and market potential.
The team have developed advanced X-ray diffraction (XRD) technology designed to help security operators make faster and more informed screening decisions. Unlike conventional X-ray systems, which can struggle to distinguish genuine threats from everyday items, HALO’s technology provides a more precise understanding of the materials being screened.
As airports and border agencies face increasing pressure to improve passenger throughput without compromising security, technologies that can reduce operational bottlenecks, lower operational costs and improve the passenger experience are becoming increasingly important.
