There’s a good story on Wired.com about Levi’s Stadium testing a new entry scanner that plans to revolutionize security. It’s called the Qylatron Entry Experience Solution, and it consists of five pods.
“The process is simple, designed to improve not just security, but the entry experience,” Alex Davies wrote for Wired.com. “Hold your ticket aloft and a ticket scanner assigns you to one of five ‘pods,’ each the size of large microwave oven. Pop in your bag, close the door, and walk to the other side. By the time you get there, the machine will have scanned your stuff for any number of things, as determined by the security team. The system can handle up to 600 guests in an hour (each with one bag), and needs just four people to keep it running.”
The company that makes the product, Qylur, won’t explain exactly how it works.
“But we know it uses radiation and chemical sensors to look for explosives,” Davies wrote. “A multi-view X-ray uses machine learning to identify things like weapons, and the software can be updated to look for new threats as they’re identified. If the machine sees something it doesn’t like, it alerts a security officer and the door turns purple. If you’re good to go, the door turns green, and you use your ticket to unlock it and take your bag. You don’t have to open your bag or let anyone touch it. With five people moving through at once, you’re through security almost as quickly as you can roll your eyes.”
Depending on its success at Levi’s Stadium, the product could court other venues next year.
“We expect several more rollouts in 2016 across stadiums, amusement parks and other large public venues,” Qylur CEO Lisa Dolev told Davies.
