Comprehensive Guide to the Portable Compact Under Vehicle Scanning System (GMWD-1200 / NuvoScan® (P) Compact)


In today’s evolving security landscape, protecting critical infrastructure, government buildings, corporate headquarters, events, and military checkpoints requires rapid deployment and highly reliable screening solutions. Underbelly vehicle inspection is often one of the most challenging aspects of physical security, historically relying on manual inspection mirrors that are slow, prone to human error, and dangerous for personnel.   

The Godrej / Vehant GMWD-1200 (NuvoScan® (P) Compact) is an advanced, portable automated Under Vehicle Scanning System (UVSS) designed to deliver real-time, high-definition undercarriage visualization and automated threat identification. Below is a detailed breakdown of its key features, operational capabilities, technical specifications, and system architectural advantages.   



Key Features & Highlights


  • Advanced Area Scan Imaging Technology: Utilizes high-end area scan CMOS camera technology combined with intelligent electromechanical hardware and illumination. As a vehicle passes over the unit, the system synthesizes visual information to generate a high-resolution, full-length composite color image of the undercarriage.   

  • Portable & Rapid Deployment (30-Minute Setup): Designed as a lightweight, surface-mounted portable unit that can be fully set up, operated, stored, or relocated within 30 minutes. This minimizes downtime and significantly reduces manual inspection labor.   

  • Integrated Automated License Plate Reader (ANPR / LPR): Features an inbuilt front-facing ANPR camera module alongside a dedicated sensor camera to capture vehicle license plates and associate them immediately with corresponding undercarriage images.   

  • Synchronous Real-Time Inspection & Database Reporting: Real-time scanning displays broad and detailed composite images on the monitor synchronously as vehicles pass through. Built-in database features enable automated vehicle entry logging, report generation, search, and image comparison against previous entries.   

  • Robust Enterprise Security & Standards Compliance: Features multi-level security password protection, CE/FCC certification, and robust IP67 environmental protection for outdoors and harsh field operations.   




Detailed Feature Explanation & Technical Breakdown


1. High-Resolution Area Scan Imaging & Illumination


Traditional underbelly inspection methods rely on mirror poles that offer restricted field-of-view and inconsistent coverage. The GMWD-1200 utilizes a central CMOS AreaScan sensor delivering 1280 X 1024 pixels resolution over a GigE interface.   


  • Integrated LED Lighting: Equipped with a high-intensity integrated LED lighting module 220 V AC}, 120 W that illuminates the entire underbelly uniformly, eliminating shadows in deep recesses.   

  • Contraband & Threat Detection: The high-resolution composite color image allows security operators to clearly spot attached foreign objects, including explosive devices (IEDs), weapons, smuggled contraband, and biochemical hazardous materials.   


2. Built-In ANPR and Presence Detection Cameras


Unlike standalone UVSS units that require external pole-mounted license plate readers, the GMWD-1200 incorporates an Inbuilt ANPR Camera 1 Megapixelor better CMOS sensor) and an integrated Sensor Camera directly within the ground ramp assembly.   


  • Automatic Vehicle Tracking: The system captures the front view and license plate of the vehicle while simultaneously scanning the undercarriage.   

  • Historical Comparison: Captured records are linked with plate numbers in a centralized database. Operators can instantly compare the current underside scan against past scans of the same vehicle to identify unauthorized modifications or hidden attachments.   


3. Rugged Hardware & Structural Engineering

Built for high-traffic environments, temporary security checkpoints, and tough field environments:


  • Structural Steel Construction: Built with structural steel and topped with a durable checkered stainless-steel plate to prevent slipping during vehicle drive-over.   

  • 20-Ton Load Bearing Capacity: Capable of withstanding up to 20 Tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), making it suitable for passenger cars, armored vehicles, and light commercial trucks.   

  • IP67 Ingress Protection: Main camera and lighting enclosures are IP67-rated, providing complete dust ingress resistance and protection against water immersion.   

  • Vehicle Speed Tolerance: Supports smooth scanning speeds of up to $20\text{ km/h}$, ensuring swift vehicle flow at busy entry gates.
