Evolv Technology has partnered with 360 CHICAGO, located on the 94th floor of 875 N Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, to enhance security through AI-based screening systems. As a security technology company focused on AI-enhanced applications, Evolv integrates its Evolv Express® system at the entrance of this observatory, known for the TILT thrill ride and CloudBar, offering expansive city views.
The installation took place in August 2023, marking a significant shift from previous manual bag checks, following venue officials' observations of Evolv's successful implementation at a local sports event.
Security Screening Partnership
The assistant general manager of 360 CHICAGO, Jennifer Hesser, remarked on the strategic choice, stating, "The guest experience is our top priority. We brought Evolv on board as our security screening partner because we want the best of everything for our guests. Evolv has helped us improve our guests’ experiences and create a new level of comfort for everyone because if you are in our space, you have been properly screened."
This partnership aligns with the recent renovations at 360 CHICAGO aimed at upgrading visitor experience and safety measures.
