As the heart of all of Vidisco’s cutting-edge portable X-ray inspection systems from the X series, the smart ICU serves as real-time interface between the Imager and the laptop. This compact, lightweight device offers a wide range of sophisticated features unavailable in comparable products including an embedded computer; smart power system supporting 3 different panels and system accessories; a large capacity battery with a smart charger; advanced communication interface enabling communication with the detectors, the X-ray sources and the laptop; built-in, long-range WiFi X enabling 300 line of sight communication with the laptop; and built-in WXR enabling coded and safe wireless communication with the X-ray source.  

Taking portable X-ray inspection systems to a new level, Vidisco’s smart ICU enables synchronization of X-ray sources - this refers not only to the smart ICU’s ability to operate various X-ray sources (e.g, Golden pulsed X-ray sources or industrial constant potential sources), but also to the significant reduction of the dose use, thereby improving safety and performances.

The smart ICU’s uniqueness lies in its ability not only to synchronize and control the panel and X-ray, but also to maintain in its own built-in memory the image produced by the panel. This enables the user to receive a perfect, complete image under any conditions. In other systems, if the wireless communication is disrupted by interference, part of the image may be lost, requiring an X-ray reshoot in the hope that the interference will not recur. Vidisco’s smart ICU ensures that any “lost packet” can be re-sent independently from the ICU to the computer, thus automatically achieving fast and complete image transfer without any need to reshoot.  

 ICU Smart Power Management

With the aim of enhancing system flexibility, the ICU switches automatically from external power (such as a DC/AC vehicle inverter) to internal battery use. When connected to an external power, the system automatically charges the battery parallel to system operation. Operator safety is ensured by providing power “down the line” – no second downrange approach is ever required to change dead batteries.
