The Melbourne Cricket Club have announced a partnership agreement with security tech company Evolv Technology.
This first-of-its-kind agreement will see the Waltham, Massachusetts–based company deploy its “Evolv Express” detection screening system, at the entry gates of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the club’s home stadium, to screen fans.
Rey Sumaru, General Manager of IT and Innovation, Melbourne Cricket Club, commented:
“We were looking for a more efficient entry experience for guests coming to the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The technology from Evolv has provided us with a more streamlined entry experience – helping minimise time spent in queues lines for fans, while still providing the safest environment possible.“
Nick Robertson, General Manager, Convergint Australia, said:
“There’s usually a large number of fans approaching the gates at the same time, about 15-to-30 minutes before an event. There’s really only one solution that can handle that amount of people in such a short time, and that’s Express.“
Peter George, CEO, Evolv Technology, added:
“Evolv is creating a safer world for people to work, learn, and play, and the work we have done alongside Convergint to bring Evolv to a new country – a new continent! – helps us reach even more people worldwide.“
