Norton, who has more than 30 years of experience in product management, market development and innovation intelligence, will be important in the ongoing development of CORSYS as it's one of Smiths Detection's largest digital solution projects to date.
In the video, Norton said: “What we're going to see in the future is customs administrations relying more on data and less on physical inspection in order to greatly improve the efficiency of their operations.”
