Security Screening: Then and Now

Walk-through Metal Detectors (WTMDs) have long been the standard for facility security. These devices use electromagnetic fields to detect metal objects as people pass through. When metal disrupts the field, an alarm sounds, prompting further investigation. WTMDs are common in airports, courthouses, and other high-security facilities.

Xtract One Gateway represents a leap forward in screening technology. This system uses advanced AI and sophisticated sensors to identify specific threats. Unlike traditional metal detectors, Xtract One Gateway can distinguish between harmless objects and potential weapons. Gateway is designed for environments with medium volumes of personal belongings (laptops, bags, and backpacks), such as schools, office buildings, and conference centers.

Make a Better First Impression.

Traditional Walk-Through Metal Detectors were designed and developed 40 years ago when the nature of threats and society concerns were very different from today. As a solution, the technology has met its end-of-life, just like cathode ray TV’s, and flip phones. Today’s threats require intelligent preemptive solutions that use digital innovation and insights to continuously improve the patron experience.

Xtract One’s unobtrusive SmartGateway screening system allows venues and facilities with high footfall to facilitate faster patron screening while enhancing safety beyond the capabilities of any other existing solution. Xtract One’s AI platform provides a unique and market leading approach maximizing patron experience, in balance with ensuring patron screening and safety. Our platform is designed to be extensible – adapting to any future business requirements, ensuring security keeps pace with and leads business innovation.
