While traditional metal detectors have been around for more than a century, advanced weapons detection systems are a completely new experience for users. Weapons screening technology now includes advanced sensor technology and an artificial intelligence (AI) based approach that focuses on an unobtrusive yet efficient experience. Screening is dignified and comprehensive, relying on a layered approach that involves people, process and technology. Technology prevents and detects, processes yield advanced operations, and people — i.e., security teams — are empowered with real-time information and situational awareness to make the best decision to mitigate potential risk.
