Third Party Integration (3PI): Independent Oversight That Delivers Confidence

As airports continue to modernise their security infrastructure, the challenge isn’t just deploying new equipment - it’s making sure that every system works together, meets legislative requirements, and performs as expected in a live environment. That’s where Third Party Integration, or 3PI, becomes essential.

vLogix provides independent, expert-led 3PI services for some of the most complex security programmes in aviation. From HBS (Hold Baggage Screening) upgrades to next-generation checkpoint solutions, our role is to verify and validate that what’s been supplied is not only compliant, but operationally sound.

What Is 3PI?

Third Party Integration is the process of validating how multiple systems and components interact with each other once integrated. This includes everything from security scanners and baggage handling systems to network infrastructure, software platforms and airport IT.

When a supplier provides a solution, their responsibility ends with the product. Ours continues through the operational chain,  ensuring that all systems work as a unified whole, with no gaps in performance, safety or compliance.

Why Independent Validation Matters

In regulated environments such as aviation, legislative compliance isn’t optional. But ticking the compliance box is only part of the picture. Systems must also function reliably in real-world operational scenarios.

That’s why vLogix applies a structured and impartial approach to integration testing:

• We assess user requirements to ensure the solution delivers what the airport or authority actually needs.

• We observe and verify testing conducted by suppliers, ensuring all interfaces, alerts and outputs behave as specified.

• We identify issues early, helping clients avoid downstream delays, performance problems or regulatory breaches.

• We speak the language of compliance, supporting concessions, reporting deviations, and aligning results with legislative frameworks such as ECAC and C3/C4 HBS standards.

• 
  

Trusted by Airports and Suppliers

vLogix has delivered 3PI and HBS validation services across a range of international projects, working with both airport authorities and security equipment manufacturers. Our independence ensures that no internal assumptions go unchallenged and no unverified performance claims go untested.

Whether you're integrating new EDS machines, replacing legacy systems or implementing a complete security screening upgrade, we provide the confidence that every component will operate together as intended.

Supporting the Next Generation of Security Screening

The move toward more automated, streamlined and contactless passenger screening brings new technologies - and new complexities. AI-driven threat detection, remote screening, and data integrations across stakeholder systems all require precise testing and alignment.

Our 3PI services are built to support this future. We work closely with project teams, regulators and suppliers to ensure seamless integration, clear accountability and a smooth path to approval.
