State-of-the-art weapons detection allows
patrons to walk freely through the entrance, using Evolv
Technology
Boch Center announced today it will be utilizing the world’s
leading weapons detection screening solution as it reopens its
doors for the first time since closing in March 2020 due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Wang Theatre, a venue operated as part of Boch
Center, will open Saturday, September 18th, featuring four-time
Grammy winner Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. The screening
solution, Evolv Express® from Evolv Technology, uses advanced
sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect weapons at venue
entrances while providing visitors with a touchless, friction-free
experience. Patrons are no longer forced to wait in long lines at
metal detectors, or experience invasive bag checks, wands or pat
downs by security personnel.
“Evolv Express represents the next generation of physical
security,” said Eric Nell, Director of Theater Operations &
Security. “As the country recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, our
patrons want a touchless experience. At the same time, they want to
have peace of mind that we are providing them with the safest
possible environment to gather. Evolv is at the forefront of
transforming the world of physical security and we are proud to be
using their solution.”
Each Evolv Express system can screen up to 3,600 people an hour,
which is 10 times faster than traditional checkpoint systems. The
systems use a combination of sensors, screens and cameras combined
with an AI-enabled software architecture to immediately distinguish
between a gun and innocuous objects, such as a smartphone.
Evolv’s solutions are used by hundreds of customers at some of
the most iconic venues in the world, including Lincoln Center, Six
Flags and several MLB, National Football League and Major League
Soccer facilities. Evolv systems have been used to screen more than
100 million people, second only to the Department of Homeland
Security’s Transportation Security Administration in the U.S.
“We are proud to partner with the Boch Center to enhance patron
experience and safety,” said Evolv Technology CEO Peter George.
“Our vision is a safer world for people to work, learn and play,
and our mission is to transform security to enhance people’s lives.
We know that Boch Center shares the same sense of purpose and is
committed to providing their customers with the most advanced
technology for their safety, while improving their experience each
time they visit.”
Guests will be required to show proof of vaccination or a
negative COVID test within 72 hours of the show. Learn more about
