Combined AI and communication platform
streamlines threat detection and response in schools
HOUSTON, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Raptor Technologies,
the leading provider of school safety software, announced a system
technology integration with Kognition AI, the market leader in
cyber-physical threat detection systems. This integration aims to
enhance emergency response and daily safety protocols within
schools.
This integration provides a powerful tool for K-12 schools by
combining Kognition's AI detection with Raptor Alert's
communication and notification functionalities. Kognition's
low-code artificial intelligence (AI) acts as a monitoring "force
multiplier" for school security staff and integrates with existing
camera and security infrastructures. This system continuously
monitors for potential threats, including crowd formation, weapon
detection, loitering, watchlist alerts, perimeter intrusion,
after-hours activity, and license plate recognition (LPR) while
protecting the privacy of students, staff, faculty, and
visitors.
Through this integration, when an incident is identified,
Kognition triggers an alert through Raptor Alert. Real-time in-app
messaging ensures immediate sharing of vital information, including
status updates and incident locations. This allows for a swift and
coordinated response from school staff.
"At Raptor, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions to
elevate school safety," said Chris
Noell, Chief Product Officer at Raptor Technologies. "This
integration with Kognition represents a significant step forward.
By combining their advanced AI threat detection with Raptor Alert's
communication platform, we empower schools with a powerful tool for
proactive monitoring and swift response. This is a crucial
advancement in our mission to safeguard schools and ensure a safe
learning environment for everyone."
This collaboration highlights both Raptor Technologies and
Kognition's commitment to creating a safe and secure learning
environment for all students and staff, leveraging cutting-edge
technology to address the critical challenges in school safety.
"Our goal at Kognition is to leverage our artificial
intelligence capabilities to deliver smart solutions for safer
spaces," said Matias Klein,
Kognition's Founder and CEO. "This partnership with Raptor is a
perfect example. By integrating our AI within their alert system,
we're creating a powerful solution that goes beyond simple
detection. Schools gain a proactive edge with real-time threat
identification, instant communication to mobilize staff and
complete data security. This is the future of school safety – using
technology to prevent incidents and foster a positive environment
for students and staff."
