Toronto-based Xtract One Technologies recently introduced its Xtract One Gateway.
The company says the gateway is designed with advanced bi-directional configurable screening and proprietary sensors for weapons detection and identification, and is built for locations where visitors regularly enter carrying numerous larger personal items.
“We’re excited to unveil Xtract One Gateway to help build those welcoming experiences to a broader market while also ushering in a portfolio of the next generation of seamless, unobtrusive security solutions that cater to each venue’s unique and specific security requirements,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One, in a statement. “As more and more schools, convention centres, and companies adopt weapons screening solutions, they are challenged by laptops and other metallic objects essential for work. With Gateway, we’re continuing to deliver solutions that work to enhance efficiency and streamline security processes, while improving everyday life.”
The system unobtrusively scans individuals, their pockets, their bags and backpacks for potential mass casualty weapons while distinguishing harmless personal items like laptops, tablets, three-ring binders, notebooks, eyeglass cases, keys, and phones, according to the company.
The technology was first unveiled at the GSX conference, held in Orlando last month.
