An update to Evolv Technology’s eXpedite bag screening system adds highlighted search areas, five sensitivity settings and combined reporting for bag and people screening.
The company said version 3.0 marks potential threats with a red outline on scanned images to guide staff inspections. The system automatically analyzes X-ray images.
Hillsboro School District in Missouri reported 50% fewer alerts after adopting the update, according to the release.
Evolv said internal tests showed improved knife detection compared with version 1.4 and fewer binder alerts than version 2.0. The update also combines bag screening records with Evolv Express data for centralized review.
