Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leading security technology
company pioneering AI-based screening to create safer experiences,
today announced its partnership with Cape Fear Community
College.
The Wilmington, North Carolina school uses an Evolv Express®
system to screen guests at the main entrance to the Wilson Center,
the college’s performing arts venue. Cape Fear Community College
has used Evolv weapons detection technology since 2019, making the
transition from antiquated methods of screening guests after a
school official saw Evolv in action at Lincoln Center in New York
City. The school used the first iteration of Evolv’s screening
system for several years and upgraded to Express in 2023.
Evolv Express uses sensor technology combined with AI to
differentiate between threats and the kinds of everyday metal
objects people carry in their pockets. This helps guests walk
through without always stopping for individual checks, which can
create backups at entry points. Prior to its use of Evolv, guests
entering the Wilson Center were subject to manual bag searches and
individual screenings by hand wands.
“Our security screening process prior to implementing Evolv was
cumbersome and unsustainable,” said Tammy Daniels, senior managing
director of the Wilson Center. “When I saw how quickly the system
up leveled the safety of our venue and guests, I was so happy I was
brought to tears.”
The expedited entry process Evolv helps guests spend time inside
the venue versus waiting in line. At the Wilson Center, a
state-of-the-art theater which hosts plays, popular musical acts,
and concerts, and seats roughly 1,600 people, having Express in
place has made a marked improvement.
“Cape Fear Community College exemplifies the breadth of venues
that Evolv helps keep safer,” said Jay Muelhoefer, chief commercial
officer for Evolv Technology. “Evolv is used in schools and
performing arts spaces of all sizes around the country, and Cape
Fear Community College joins a long – and growing - list of
partnerships we have with customers in the Carolinas. We’re
immensely proud to help protect the Wilson Center and further
establish Evolv’s presence in the Southeast.”
In addition to a number of schools in North and South Carolina
using Evolv for weapons detection, Charlotte is home to several
sports facilities screening fans with the help of Evolv where the
pro soccer team FC Charlotte and pro basketball team Charlotte
Hornets play.
Beyond schools, performing arts centers, stadiums, and arenas,
Evolv’s more than 700 customers include leading theme parks,
casinos, places of worship, and hospitals.
