2 SECURITY CONTROL, OUR VISION In an era of growing and persistent threats, your passengers deserve uncompromising technology protecting their integrity. It is also important to generate a feeling of comfort and reassurance throughout the security checks. Our product addresses both needs. SEDECT products are conceived in Switzerland, in the Lake Geneva region, by a team of outstanding electronics engineers from communication and quality control industries. The team is complemented by designers and airport professionals with a strong track record in such industrial projects. Our technology enables the integration of security sensors in ultra thin components that can be combined in a wide range of configurations.

3 COMPANY SEDECT is a Swiss high tech company founded in 2015 to develop and market innovative products for airport security, passenger flow facilitation, and related appliances. SEDECT supports its customers by providing products with high performance electronics facilitating the integration into airport structures while matching the constraints of the interior design. SEDECT benefits from unique knowhow and solutions to functionalise design materials and components for security or facilitation and to interact with passengers in airports environment.

4 HOW DOES IT WORK? Seeflow is designed to improve the flow of passengers by optimizing their preparation. It detects metallic parts in passengers shoes and accessories and invite them to remove those before passing security gates. The product was developed to detect metal and to provide information as the pax walks on it. Its design and position maximises the beneficial impact on the flow.

5 TECHNICAL INFORMATION Seeflow SMD components : An ultra-thin detector with a plastic protection. Size : 60 x 90 cm and 10mm thick; A mat made of synthetic flooring material with a visual showing the passengers ideal position; A control unit connected to the mat; A seating allowing the users to take off their shoes positionned on the control unit. This element can be adapted to each environment (optional); A display allowing the visualization of the detection result; Cables for power and internet connections. Installation can be done in 2 hours per security gate, with minimum impact on the operation. Seeflow product can be customized to match airport specific requirements (hardware and software).

6 TRACK RECORD AND PERFORMANCE Passenger flow is improved by Seeflow products is function of alarm generated by passengers at the security walk through gate. Airports equiped with Seeflow product will improve the passenger flow with minimal modifications of their configuration. Additionally, the Seeflow product reduces the stress of the passengers and the conflicts between the staff and the passengers by objectively indicating what items have to be removed. Health and safety for security staff is also adressed by reducing the number of false alarms. A complementary product to the SMD (shoes) allowing the detection of metal at the waist level (pockets, belt, bracelets) is currently being developed. The product will be available in 2017.

7 GENEVA AIRPORT In 2014 Geneva Airport has mandated SEDECT to develop an early detection system for shoes and waist to improve its passenger flow at security checks. Geneva Airport is an international airport with 15.8 mio passengers in It differentiates from other airports by infrastructure constraints and its continuous efforts to develop innovative solutions enabling to cope with continuous growth of passengers in the confined and fast growing environment of Geneva region. In 2016, the first SEEFLOW products have been installed by Geneva Airport on its passenger lines.
