Manufacturing facilities and distribution centers face unique security requirements that traditional metal detectors cannot adequately address. Employee entrances, visitor checkpoints, and loading dock access points serve workers carrying lunch containers, laptops, phones, keys, and equipment that trigger constant alerts on walk-through metal detectors.

This creates a choice between security and operational efficiency. Security personnel either spend excessive time manually screening each alert during critical shift changes, or they begin ignoring alerts altogether, defeating the purpose of security screening.

Modern AI-powered weapons detection solves this problem. These systems distinguish between everyday items like laptops, lunch boxes, and authorized equipment from actual threats. Employees and visitors move through screening at a natural walking pace without divesting personal belongings or creating bottlenecks during shift changes.

The result is effective security screening that doesn’t compromise operational flow or create delays at entry points. Security personnel can focus on genuine threats rather than managing screening queues, while facilities maintain protection from workplace violence and the ability to prevent asset theft at exit points.

A weapons detection system for manufacturing facilities screens employees and visitors entering industrial operations for concealed weapons while allowing equipment, lunch containers, and personal belongings to pass through without alerts. These systems use AI-powered detection to identify genuine threats rather than simply responding to any metal object.

Modern weapons detection systems for manufacturing and distribution facilities process employees at natural walking speeds without requiring divestment of bags or pockets. This maintains operational flow during critical shift changes while providing security personnel with accurate threat information for workplace violence prevention.

Walk-through metal detectors alert on any metal object, creating constant interruptions when employees arrive with lunch containers, equipment, phones, keys, and work gear. Security teams must manually check each alert, creating bottlenecks during shift changes when hundreds of employees arrive simultaneously.

Xtract One’s AI-powered weapons detection distinguishes between threatening items and everyday work items. The system identifies concealed weapons while ignoring authorized laptops, equipment, and personal belongings that employees routinely carry.

Xtract One Gateway screens both the individual and their carried bags simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate bag checks or X-ray machines. SmartGateway processes individuals at a natural walking pace without divestment requirements. Both systems provide security screening without disrupting shift changes or creating the delays associated with traditional metal detectors.

Xtract One systems process up to 3,000 individuals per hour while walk-through metal detectors typically handle 200-400 individuals per hour due to frequent alerts and manual screening requirements.

Facilities maintain continuous operational flow during shift changes because employees walk through at their natural pace without stopping to empty pockets or open bags. There are no bottlenecks from false alerts on work equipment or everyday items.

Security interventions occur only when the system detects actual threats. Your team focuses on genuine security concerns rather than managing queues or manually checking routine alerts from lunch boxes, and authorized equipment.

Xtract One Gateway is the only weapons detection system that can be configured for egress screening at exit points. The system detects unauthorized removal of electronics, components, inventory, and valuable assets as employees leave the facility.

Exit screening operates at the same high throughput as entry screening. Employees walk through at natural pace while the system identifies prohibited items being removed from the facility. Security receives alerts only when the system detects unauthorized assets, not on personal belongings employees are permitted to carry out.

This dual-direction capability allows facilities to address both workplace violence threats at entry and inventory protection at exits using a single technology platform, eliminating the need for separate theft prevention systems.

Xtract One systems operate 24/7/365 without daily calibration requirements or performance degradation. The systems function identically across all shifts, providing consistent security coverage during day, evening, and overnight operations.

Xtract One View provides centralized monitoring across all shifts and multiple facilities. Security supervisors can review screening activity, compare data between shifts, and identify patterns that may indicate security concerns or operational issues.

The systems require no manual adjustments between shifts and no technical expertise to operate during low-staffing overnight periods. Remote support is available around the clock whenever questions arise.

Xtract One View provides centralized management for multi-site manufacturing and distribution operations. Monitor all facilities from a single platform, review traffic patterns across locations, and manage system settings remotely.

The cloud-based platform allows security directors to oversee multiple sites, compare operational data between facilities, and ensure consistent security standards across your organization. Access controls allow different permission levels for site-specific security staff and enterprise-wide administrators.

System updates deploy automatically to all locations, ensuring every facility benefits from the latest AI improvements and security enhancements without requiring on-site technical support.

Xtract One systems detect firearms, knives, and other prohibited weapons carried on the body or within bags and personal belongings. The AI-powered detection classifies the type of threat object and identifies its location without alerting on everyday work items.

Gun detectors within the Xtract One Gateway system recognize various firearm types while distinguishing them from laptops, tablets, equipment, and authorized work gear. Weapons detection systems identify genuine threats without the constant false alerts that occur with traditional metal detectors when employees carry work equipment.

Detection settings can be customized for your facility’s specific security requirements. The systems adapt to different threat profiles while maintaining accuracy in environments where employees routinely carry equipment and personal belongings.
