OSI Systems, Inc. announces that its Security division has successfully commenced operations in Uruguay in collaboration with its Ministry of Economics and Finance to enhance security and efficiency at Uruguay's ports and borders through advanced customs screening applications.

OSI Systems CEO Deepak Chopra commented, "We are excited to begin the operational phase and look forward to supporting Uruguay’s customs and border security activity.”

Ongoing management training

The Company is utilising the EAGLE® T60 high-energy, trailer-mounted vehicle inspection systems, performing security screening and remote image analysis utilising its proprietary CertScan® integration platform, and will also provide ongoing management training and maintenance, service and support.

Mr. Chopra continued, "Our team recently participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Uruguay’s government leadership, marking this significant step. With our advanced cargo screening technology and expertise, we're helping safeguard trade routes and foster economic stability in the region."

Multiple international customs

The Company has turnkey border and port inspection programs in operation with multiple international customs, border, and port authorities. These turnkey inspection programs have proven highly successful, improving public safety and security and increasing the accuracy of customs declarations. 

Under these programs, the Company, through its S2 Global business, typically manages cargo scanning equipment, supervises inspection site construction and network design, and trains local staff to analyse data on the CertScan platform. This platform integrates images and data like cargo manifests, biometrics, container and vehicle numbers, and customs declarations.
