Xtract One Technologies has signed an agreement with the Colorado Rockies (“Rockies”) to use SmartGateway at their home ballpark, Coors Field.
This joint development project seeks to introduce frictionless, streamlined screening and entry to fans and patrons this baseball season.
Peter Evans, CEO, Xtract One commented: “We are thrilled to work with the Colorado Rockies on this deployment to showcase how SmartGateway can help create a safe and secure environment for every fan, player and ballpark personnel who enters the venue.
“This collaboration reflects our continued commitment to advancing stadium security across major organizations like MLB.”
Evans concluded: “We look forward to contributing to a positive, worry-free experience for everyone entering Coors Field all season long.”
With a capacity of 50,398 at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies were seeking an advanced screening system to replace traditional walk-through metal detectors.
SmartGateway reduces the time spent in long security lines, allowing individuals to walk through security checks up to seven times faster than the average walk-through metal detector allows.
Aligning with the Rockies’ mission to conduct business with integrity, service, quality and trust, the deployment of SmartGateway’s innovative system will enhance guests’ safety and overall game-day experience.
According to the company, this strategic deployment will introduce SmartGateway to Coors Field’s visitors, showcasing innovative technology that unobtrusively scans patrons with AI-powered sensors, minimizes entry line wait times and contributes to optimized venue operations.
Kevin Kahn, Chief Customer Officer and Vice-President, Ballpark Operations, Colorado Rockies commented: “As the world keeps innovating, we want to make sure we’re bringing fans the best possible experience.
“We look forward to showcasing SmartGateway to fans entering Coors Field, delivering frictionless screening and entry processes, and contributing to an overall better game-day experience,” Kahn concluded.
Xtract One states that its SmartGateway unobtrusively scans patrons to detect prohibited items, enhancing safety without sacrificing experience.
The system uses AI-powered sensors to quickly and accurately scan patrons, detecting threats without invading guests’ privacy.
SmartGateway is said to reduce wait times and enables faster entry, while providing data-driven security insights that shift security operations from reactive to proactive.
Each lane is equipped with the capacity to screen up to 2,400 patrons per hour. The Company’s Multi-Sensor Gateway portfolio has been awarded the US Department of Homeland Security DHS SAFETY Act Designation as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT).
The company states that this highlights the efficacy of Xtract One’s innovative security solutions in safeguarding public spaces against modern threats.
