Security screening case study | Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

Transforming employee screening with the QPS Walk2000

Upgraded employee screening portal at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is putting in place consistent employee security screening across the vast twenty-seven square mile site to enhance security, mitigate the risk of insider threats, meet new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) aviation worker screening requirements and align airport procedures with the employee worker screening procedures of its partners.

DFW employee screening uses QPS Walk2000 walkthrough screening technology integrated with automated property screening, access control and identity management solutions. It was all developed in partnership with DFW and optimized for precise high-volume employee screening.

Customer: Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
Task: Upgrade airport-wide employee security screening with integrated advanced high-volume screening technology
Challenge: Consistent and efficient security screening of 36 000 DFW employees at all five terminals across the twenty-seven square mile site with QPS Walk2000 walk-through security scanners
Solution and key benefits: The QPS Walk2000 security scanners deliver automated precision screening for concealed threats. Rohde & Schwarz worked with DFW to develop specialized software for efficient, high-volume aviation worker screening

The new automated security scanner technology has been well received by DFW personnel. QPS Walk2000 optimized software lets employees be screened without removing outerwear, badges and nametags. The high-throughput QPS Walk2000 makes employee screening quick and easy, even during peak periods.

"We’re getting end-to-end bag and people screening plus identity verification in roughly the same time it would take an employee to pass through a simple access door with two-factor authentication."
_{Chris McLaughlin, Chief Executive Officer for DFW}
