Its Security division recently received an order from a leading global air cargo logistics provider for roughly $4 million.

The Security division is benefiting from the strong adoption of its solutions. It recently received a contract in the EMEA region worth roughly $59 million to provide various cargo and vehicle inspection platforms.

Under the deal, OSIS will offer the Eagle G60 high-energy, gantry-mounted cargo inspection system, Eagle P60 high-energy, drive-through cargo and vehicle inspection system, Eagle M60 high-energy mobile cargo and vehicle inspection system, CarView multi-technology, top-view passenger vehicle inspection system and Guardian VM500 Series radiation portal monitor.

OSI Systems is expected to integrate the inspection systems into a national command center through its CertScan integration platform and provide maintenance, training and service support as part of the contract.
