Evolv Brings Touchless Security Screening To
Broad Street
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons
detection security screening, today announced its partnership with
the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The Wells Fargo Center will feature Evolv’s state-of-the-art
Evolv Express® screening solution for Flyers games as well as
concerts and other touring events at the arena, allowing fans and
to pass through security in a faster, easier and more welcoming
manner. Officials at the Wells Fargo Center learned about Evolv
having seen it used at other facilities in different sports
leagues. Wells Fargo Center is now the third professional sports
venue in Philadelphia to partner with Evolv to enhance their
visitor security screening experience. Evolv is the fan screening
provider for dozens of sports teams around the country in the NFL,
MLB, NHL and MLS.
“Everything we’ve heard from our peers partnering with Evolv has
been positive, from how easy it is to use to how pleased fans are
with the experience,” said Valerie Camillo, President and CEO of
Spectacor Sports and Entertainment. “When the National Hockey
League gave us the go-ahead to find a better way of screening as
many as 20,000 fans per game, the choice for us was clearly
Evolv.”
According to Wells Fargo’s security team, early returns have
been positive, with Evolv setting off fewer alarms than security
officials experienced with traditional magnetometers. Evolv Express
uses powerful sensor technology with artificial intelligence (AI)
to provide safer, more accurate threat detection at unprecedented
volume and speed. It quickly distinguishes between threats and the
everyday items, so people do not need to always empty pockets and
bags. As a result, most fans make their way directly into the arena
without having to stop at security. Wells Fargo Center began using
Evolv at Flyers hockey games in mid-February.
“Evolv is thrilled to partner with Wells Fargo Center to help
keep Flyers fans safer while making sure they can get into the
arena more quickly and in a better, easier manner,” said John
Baier, Evolv’s vice president of sports. “With Evolv, fans can
enter without the anxiety of being late, accidentally setting off
alarms, or the stress of missing valuable playing time on the
ice.”
The Wells Fargo Center joins a fast-growing roster of sports
facilities partnering with Evolv to provide a safer, more
fan-friendly experience. Among the many ballparks and stadiums in
the sports world using Evolv’s technology are Major League
Baseball’s PNC Park in Pittsburgh, the National Football League’s
SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, and Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio
from Major League Soccer.
