CEIA USA Launches OPENGATE 2.0 and SAMD to Modernize Security Screening

CEIA USA has announced the commercial launch of two advanced security screening solutions aimed at improving checkpoint operations across multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, public venues, corporate facilities, and industrial environments. The company introduced the OPENGATE® 2.0 walk-through weapons detection system along with the SAMD® (Shoe Analyzer Metal Detector) to address a growing challenge in modern security environments ensuring strong threat detection while also improving efficiency and user experience.

As security checkpoints face increasing pressure to process larger volumes of people without compromising safety, organizations are searching for smarter screening technologies. In response, CEIA USA developed OPENGATE 2.0 to combine high-precision weapons detection with faster throughput compared to traditional walk-through metal detectors. Consequently, the system helps reduce delays and operational bottlenecks that often occur at busy security checkpoints.

The OPENGATE 2.0 platform integrates advanced multi-zone detection technology capable of identifying multiple weapon calibers while simultaneously minimizing nuisance alarms. In addition, the system features shoe alarm indication technology, which helps security personnel quickly identify the location of potential threats. As a result, secondary screening becomes faster and more accurate, significantly reducing inspection time.

“Security checkpoints have long been synonymous with operational inefficiency,” said Luca Cacioli, CEO of CEIA USA. “OPENGATE 2.0 takes our original model to the next level, fundamentally reimagining the screening experience. With minimized divesting requirements, it delivers the highest throughput rates in the industry while achieving lower-than-ever nuisance alarm rates.”

Another advantage of OPENGATE 2.0 is its portability and ease of deployment. The system weighs only 25 pounds and can be assembled or dismantled in less than a minute. Clear go/no-go signaling provides immediate screening results, allowing security staff to make quick decisions while reducing the need for extensive training. Furthermore, individuals can pass through the system while carrying backpacks, purses, bags, and wearing footwear, which significantly reduces the need for divesting and secondary checks.

In addition to operational efficiency, OPENGATE 2.0 complies with established electromagnetic and electrical safety regulations. It also functions reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments, even in locations without overhead cover or direct electrical outlets. Connectivity features such as LTE and Wi-Fi enable remote monitoring, fleet management, and optional asset tracking. Built-in ASTM F3566-22 security levels further ensure alignment with recognized industry security standards.

Alongside OPENGATE 2.0, CEIA USA introduced the SAMD shoe screening system, which is specifically designed for high-security environments. In many cases, footwear containing metal components such as steel shanks, decorative elements, or safety boots triggers nuisance alarms during traditional screenings. Consequently, these alarms often lead to time-consuming secondary inspections.

To address this challenge, SAMD uses advanced detection algorithms that differentiate between benign shoe metal content and actual threat signatures. This technology allows the system to detect concealed weapons while filtering out harmless materials commonly found in footwear. As a result, the screening process becomes faster, more accurate, and less intrusive.

Overall, the combined use of OPENGATE 2.0 and SAMD helps organizations streamline security operations while maintaining strict safety standards. Both solutions are now available through CEIA USA and its authorized distribution network. In addition, the company provides installation support, professional training, and ongoing technical assistance to ensure smooth implementation and operation.
