The company installed the machine in Lloyd’s Bank’s headquarters in Cardiff.
The XIS-6040 X-ray machine
The X-ray machine, an Astrophysics XIS 6040, is a security screening device, and will be used at Lloyd’s Bank’s headquarters in Cardiff, Wales, to ensure that “staff continue to be protected by the highest level of security”. The machine can screen all mail “for hidden threats”, with the site receiving over 200 items per day, every one of which is screened using the device.
Totalpost added that it has trained all the “post room, security and receptionist staff” at the site on how to use the machine, and staff will “continue to receive ongoing training as required”, whilst Totalpost will also provide “full maintenance and servicing” of the machine whilst it is used by Lloyd’s. The device is compact and features “tunnel opening dimensions” of 60mm by 50mm; is “easy to use” and provides “crisp, high resolution images”; and is also used in “diverse” sites including prisons, courts and public buildings”.
Kelley Martin, Facilities Manager at Lloyds Cardiff, commented: “The safety of our staff and visitors is paramount, and as a bank we have a responsibility to ensure that everything we do is secure. Therefore choosing the right security screening device for our mailroom was essential.
“Screening the mail and parcels is part of our everyday process, the machine is reliable, extremely easy to use and gives us all peace of mind. The service we have received from the point of order through to install and aftercare has been outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend Totalpost.”
David Hymers, Managing Director of Totalpost, added: “Many corporate mailrooms are now looking to increase their security and protect staff by screening incoming mail for hidden threats. An X-ray screening device such as the XIS 6040 is ideal for this as it is easy to use and is very compact.”
The company previously installed an X-ray machine for Nationwide Bank in the UK, and installed a mailroom folding machine for Lloyd’s.
