WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons detection security screening, today announced its partnership with the 2022 World Champion Houston Astros.
The Astros began featuring Evolv’s state-of-the-art Evolv Express® screening solution at Minute Maid Park on Opening Day, March 30, when the Astros began their 2023 season at home against the Chicago White Sox. Fans will be able to walk through the entrances at a quicker pace, making a more enjoyable security experience.
“Evolv aligns perfectly with our recent efforts to use technology to improve the fan experience at Minute Maid Park,” said Marcel Braithwaite, Senior Vice President of Business Operations for the Astros. “The fact that it streamlines entry without sacrificing security makes it the ideal solution for us.”
Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat detection at unprecedented volume and speed. It allows security officials to identify threats versus the everyday items people carry in their pockets or bags without always having to stop and check everyone individually.
“It’s exciting for Evolv to be a part of the innovative solutions the Astros are bringing to Minute Maid Park,” said John Baier, Evolv’s Vice President of Sports. “To see a team that just won the World Series continue to work to make things even better for fans is amazing. Evolv is thrilled to be a part of that drive to be the best.”
