In addition to detecting weapons, Evolv Express™' ability to
detect body temperature makes it an ideal tool to optimize safety
measures and ensure minimum person-to-person interaction
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Based on its recent analysis of the North American AI-based
touchless security screening solution market, Frost & Sullivan
recognizes Evolv Technology with the 2020 North American Technology
Innovation Leadership Award for Evolv Express™. As the only
touchless security screening system in the world, it is a viable
alternative to existing metal detector arches and handheld wands
due to its ability to identify concealed weapons with high
sensitivity and accuracy.
"Evolv Express™ comprises a low-frequency electromagnetic sensor
and AI feature that can detect, locate, and automatically
categorize concealed explosives and firearms on visitors or
employees in real-time while ignoring other harmless personal items
such as smartphones, keys, coins, and belts. There is no need for
visitors to stop, empty their pockets, and open their bags for
physical/invasive security screening," said Varun
Babu Industry Analyst. "Significantly, it is 10x faster
than traditional metal detectors and can screen more than 3,600
individuals per hour, wherein individuals can walk at a normal pace
one at a time, or in groups via multi-lane entrances. This reduces
manpower costs and the need for additional security guards at
multi-lane security screening checkpoints."
Evolv is primarily deployed at large workplaces, ticketed
venues, and schools. To date, it has screened more than 50 million
individuals and prevented visitors from carrying over 5,000 weapons
into facilities and events. The solution is also highly adaptable
to address COVID-19-related challenges. With workers now slowly
returning to the workplace, the company has modified the solution
to help assess health risks. The Evolv Express Thermal Imaging
Package comprises a thermal sensor and the Evolv TempCheck™
software application that aids companies in screening their
employees and visitors for elevated temperatures.
Meanwhile, STANLEY Security, the world's second-largest
electronic security company and global integrator of comprehensive
security solutions, has strategically collaborated and invested in
Evolv Technology. It also has global distribution agreements with
Johnson Controls and many other regional distributors worldwide.
This business model empowers the company to achieve a wide global
presence with extended support from resellers and channel
partners.
"Evolv's recent addition of the thermal sensor and the Evolv
TempCheck software application in Evolv Express is aiding its
expansion efforts in Europe and
Asia-Pacific," noted Babu. "With
more than 100 patents filed related to its automatic threat
detection technology with real-time analysis and modular imaging
system, Evolv's technology is unique and not easily duplicated
anywhere in the world."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and
leveraging new technologies that deliver significant customer
value.
