Prevent shooters or bombers from entering your venue without sacrificing the visitor experience Imagine the day when walking into a stadium, events venue, or other iconic tourist site without stopping or emptying pockets is normal, as it used to be Today’s era of viral violence brings mass vulnerability. Despite this, various venues screen for today’s threats with yesterday’s technology; unfortunately, most opt not to make the tradeoff between safety and visitor experience. Evolv solves this “protection paradox” by leveraging AI to instantly differentiate benign objects from concealed threats. Introducing the newest innovation from Evolv Technology, Evolv Express™, the world’s first freeflow weapons-detection system able to screen 3,600 people per hour, proven to be 10X faster than metal detectors. With Express, there is no need to stop, empty pockets or remove bags. Using a new patented method of threat detection, Evolv’s Cortex AI™ software platform, Express delivers the only frictionless weapons-detection system, preventing active shooters and bombers from entering your venue without sacrificing the visitor or employee experience. And, the machinelearning component of Cortex AI gets smarter over time keeping you ahead of the threat landscape. Because Express is smart enough to differentiate between weapons and benign objects, it reduces nuisance alarms by up to 85% over traditional detection methods, almost eliminating the need for
secondary screening such as pat downs or manual bag searches, drastically reducing human contact. Targeted image-aided alarm resolution provided by the Express allows guards to spend less time searching a person’s body or their belongings, enabling focused searching at all times. It also allows a “no touch” policy to be introduced, where guards direct the person to open their own bag and remove certain items for closer inspection, again enhancing the experience for both security and the visitor. Evolv’s systems have screened more than 50M people and prevented 5000+ weapons from entering venues. It is our mission is to make it safer for everyone to live, work, learn and play because we refuse to submit to the notion that mass shootings and bombings are the “new normal.” Evolv systems are used at stadiums, schools, workplaces, hospitals, entertainment venues, tourist locations, and places of worship that need to clear hundreds to thousands of people per hour. Its technology restores peace of mind for institutions and events including the BRIT Awards, Gillette Stadium, Lincoln Center for Performing Arts, Seattle Space Needle, The Biltmore Estate, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, L.L. Bean, and hundreds of other iconic venues and events.
