With Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Opening Day around the
corner, 10 MLB teams are gearing up to welcome millions of fans
with the help of security screening by Evolv (NASDAQ: EVLV), the
leading security technology company pioneering AI-based screening
to create safer experiences.
Evolv’s Express® is an award-winning weapons detection system
that uses sensor technology combined with artificial intelligence
to help differentiate between weapons and non-threatening metal
objects people commonly carry. Since the launch of Evolv Express in
2019, Evolv has screened more than 1 billion people in hundreds of
venues around the world.
When considering new technology, many Evolv customers rely on
real-world performance metrics, testimonials and information
obtained from other users in their respective industries, and often
their own testing of Evolv Express, to guide their purchase
decisions.
“We do a lot of innovation,” said Dave Horsman, vice president
of Ballpark Operations for the Minnesota Twins, who partnered with
Evolv over a year ago for security screening. “But for something
directly impacting guest experience and safety like security
screening, we wanted to thoroughly test it and achieve a high level
of certainty of success.”
Accordingly, Horsman and team spent a week at another venue that
had Express systems in place while learning about Evolv.
“I was able to see firsthand how well the system works and was
very impressed. We were able to see how it performs in other MLB
parks—which provided some really good validation for us.”
In addition, the team did their own testing of the Evolv Express
system to further validate it was the right addition to their
safety plan.
“We did our homework and did extensive testing over the
offseason—testing to see if it would detect objects it should
detect and not detect the ones we didn’t want to detect. We were
really impressed with the results and decided to move forward.”
A year later since implementing Evolv Express, Horsman still
recounts the Twins’ Opening Day as the moment that stands out the
most in his mind.
“We were in the security ingress area when the National Anthem
played,” he recalls. “Normally, with the metal detectors, we would
still have lines of fans trying to get into the park. But when I
looked up after the National Anthem was finished, there were no
lines. I knew then that we had made the right decision.”
Evolv’s business-to-business buyers, many of whom are themselves
security experts and/or engage third-party experts, represent over
700 customers across education, healthcare, professional sports,
industrial workplaces, houses of worship and tourist attractions.
This includes some of the country’s top brands and school
districts, such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium, SoFi Stadium and YouTube
Theater, Six Flags, TD Garden, Fenway Park and
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Schools.
In 2023, Evolv detected over 400,000 weapons, including firearms
and knives.
