Xtract One Technologies, a pioneering technology-driven threat detection and security solution that prioritizes the patron access experience by leveraging AI, announced its SmartGateway System has been selected to protect the new 11,500-capacity CPKC Stadium, as a result of the Company’s partnership with Kansas City Current of the National Women’s Soccer League.
Enhanced patron experience
CPKC Stadium is being built by construction partners, J.E. Dunn and women-owned Monarch Build, as well as the female-led team at Henderson Engineers, and is expected to open at the start of the 2024 NWSL season. Once construction is complete, CPKC Stadium will make history as the world’s first and only purpose-built stadium for a women’s professional sports team.
This collaboration between Xtract One and KC Current signifies a significant milestone by delivering streamlined, efficient, and modern security measures, enhancing venue safety, minimizing wait times, and fostering enhanced patron experience at a first-of-its-kind venue.
Sense of privacy and comfort
AI-powered sensors to detect threats without invading patrons’ sense of privacy and comfort
Xtract One’s SmartGateway system replaces intimidating, traditional metal detectors and delivers fast, reliable, and seamless patron screening. This solution unobtrusively scans patrons for guns, knives, and other prohibited items as they enter the venue, using AI-powered sensors to detect threats without invading patrons’ sense of privacy and comfort.
The system was designed for large, ticketed venues to enable high throughput. With Xtract One, KC Current and CPKC Stadium will be able to deliver optimal fan experiences through eliminating long entry lines and allowing fans to quickly, and safely, enter the venue and enjoy the game.
