Union Minister for MSME Narayan Rane has virtually inaugurated the Intelligent Tray Retrieval System (ITRS) manufactured by M/s SJK Innovations, an MSME-Make in India Company at MOPA International Airport (GOA).

The ITRS is an artificial intelligence based fully automatic machine that helps provide enhanced passenger security with advanced screening technology. The machine is equipped with image analysis software with advanced tools that make it easy for the screener to make the right decisions against any baggage. This in turn helps the passenger to complete the screening much faster and easier as compared to the conventional machines.

The machine also includes a special module for the high-threat baggage that needs immediate attention at the airport. The ITRS machine is one of a kind and gives passengers a unique travel experience during the hand luggage check at the airport. Rane reiterated the Prime Minister's continued commitment to providing world-class infrastructure and transport facilities across the country.

During his speech, Rane said that “over the past few years we have demanded that a major airport with world-class infrastructure and transport facilities be built for Goa. On December 11, 2022, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi opened this airport near MOPA, Goa named after our late colleague Manohar Parrikar. Another encouraging point is that the ITRS system installed today at MOPA is 'Made in India' by an MSME company and is also 'Patented in India'. It is a matter of double pride and happiness for us.”
