The Sarasota County Agricultural Fair Association has partnered
with Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leader in weapons detection
screening, to improve security by using Evolv Express®, Evolv’s
award-winning screening solution, at the annual Sarasota County
Agricultural Fair. The fair, which is a 10-day event each March,
sees more than 140,000 visitors each year. As a result of the
partnership, the association has been able to eliminate crowded
security lines at entrances, as well as reallocate security staff
previously responsible for metal detector wand searches.
“Unlike manual checkpoints where fatigue begins to set in on
security staff, Evolv Express® delivers the same level of
results—whether in the first 30 minutes or 10 hours later,” said
Rory S. Martin, President and CEO, Sarasota County Agricultural
Fair Association. “Sustaining consistent results through peaks and
valleys is really important when checking for weapons. There cannot
be a dip in effectiveness.”
Evolv Express leverages Evolv Cortex AI™, its best-in-class
artificial intelligence (AI) weapons detection algorithms to
instantly detect and identify a person carrying a weapon without
slowing the flow of visitors carrying their personal items,
improving security at the speed and scale required to stay ahead of
today’s threats. This reduces unsafe crowding, lowers the risk for
human error, and removes the tradeoff between keeping a venue safe
and providing a good experience for visitors.
Evolv’s systems have been used to screen more than 100 million
people in the U.S., second only to the Department of Homeland
Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Evolv
Express is 10 times faster than traditional metal detectors,
resulting in screening an unparalleled 3,600 people per hour, per
system. The world’s most iconic venues and companies place their
trust in Evolv to protect their employees and visitors, including
Uber, Lincoln Center, L.L. Bean, Six Flags, and hundreds of
others.
“Protecting the safety of the attendees at nonprofit events like
the fair is critically important. Traditional security screening
approaches degrade visitor experience and struggle to deliver
consistent scanned results,” said Peter George, CEO at Evolv. “We
are delighted have partnered with the Sarasota County Agricultural
Fair Association to help make their venue safer.”
