Georgia Aquarium has partnered with Evolv Technology (NASDAQ:
EVLV), a leader in weapons detection screening, to improve weapons
detection and the overall guest experience by using Evolv Express®,
Evolv’s award-winning screening solution, at the largest aquarium
in the United States. As a result of the partnership, the Aquarium
has seen a 15% increase in guest experience scores, while shrinking
the security system lobby footprint by 50% and reallocating half of
security staff to areas other than the entrance.
“The health and safety of our guests and employees has always
been our top priority and using Evolv Express® at our entrances has
allowed us to significantly enhance the overall guest experience at
the Aquarium without compromising on or sacrificing security,” said
Anthony Rivera, senior vice president of hospitality and operations
at Georgia Aquarium.
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.
“As venues like Georgia Aquarium begin to welcome their visitors
back, it’s critical that the guest experience also adapts to the
touchless, frictionless systems we have come to expect during the
pandemic,” said Peter George, CEO at Evolv. “We are delighted to be
partnering with Georgia Aquarium as part of our mission to
transform security to enhance everyone’s life.”
The screening system is currently in place at each guest
entrance of the Aquarium. Guests will not have to stop, empty their
pockets, or have their bags checked unless directed by
security.
