Why is View Systems Rallying?
Share price swings in the recent past have come on View Systems announcing plans to deliver new and comprehensive detection technologies. The company is currently working on the View Scan II system that will operate as a walk through a detector on the incorporation of multiple sensing devices.Some of the capabilities that the new system will support include facial recognition as well as radiation detection and the ability to keep records of people entering and leaving premises. Wireless connection to a central network should make View Scan II a detector of choice, as a first of its kind smart detector.
“We have cleared the way by selling the Medical Therapeutics concern for cash and equity. Our roots have been high technology for the security market, Homeland Security and people protection. We are focusing on enhancing what we have been successfully producing. Several of the original engineers have rejoined this effort, and I liken it to ‘putting the band back together,” said CEO Gunther Than.
Growing Margins
Increased focus on detection system comes on the heels of View Systems posting record numbers for FY2018. The company generated a profit of $1.138 million, a performance it plans to replicate in 2019 on focusing on detection systems. Conversely, the company has confirmed plans to divest its medical division Medical Therapeutics to a group of medical industry professionals.Exit from the medical business should pave the way for View Systems to focus all its attention and resources in coming up with a superior Concealed Weapons Detection System. Plans are underway to launch the new system in the spring of 2019. The company also intends to focus on producing units as well as pursuing sales in the detection system space.
“The Secure Scan Weapons Detection System (WDS) has been used as a stand-alone unit, a mobile unit, or imbedded into walls or doorframes for concealed use. A digital image of the subject and location of contraband is captured and stored for immediate detection, archiving and later searching,” View Systems in a statement.
