Athena Security has deployed x-ray technology across event venues and government buildings nationwide since 2018. Our AI-assisted x-ray scanners integrate with leading hardware systems. Security teams at stadiums trust our platform to screen bags while catching dangerous objects.
Our AI acts as a second set of eyes for security personnel. The system analyzes x-ray images in real time and flags potential threats automatically. Plus, our platform continues operating during internet outages and power failures when security cannot fail.
Our AI X-ray system analyzes baggage and carry on luggage, identifying firearms, knives, explosives, and prohibited items in real time. Event venues use this technology to screen bags at public entrances without creating long lines that frustrate fans.
The platform uses computer vision to detect threats in x-ray images faster than human operators. When a potential threat appears, security personnel receive instant alerts. Your team investigates confirmed risks while clean bags continue moving through the checkpoint layout.
Our weapons detection platform scans individuals as they walk through security checkpoints. The system detects firearms and knives that fans might carry into your facility. This complements bag screening by catching weapons people carry on their person.
The AI monitors every person and alerts security teams when someone tries to bypass screening. Your operators focus on confirmed threats instead of stopping every guest. The technology maintains high throughput when thousands of fans arrive simultaneously.
Security operators monitoring x-ray screening systems receive instant alerts through augmented reality glasses. Your personnel see threat notifications without looking away from their current task. This ensures critical alerts reach your team immediately.
The hands-free system allows operators to respond to threats while maintaining awareness. When the AI identifies a suspicious item or detects a concealed weapon, your security personnel know immediately and can intercept the person before they enter.

Athena delivers capabilities other security solutions cannot match. Our platform addresses real-world challenges security personnel face while helping organizations meet federal compliance requirements.
Most weapons detection vendors lock you into proprietary equipment. That means limited choices and potential vendor dependence for years. Athena’s platform works with Apollo 500, Apollo 650, CEIA Opengate, Garrett, and Metrasens Ultra systems. You select hardware that matches your throughput requirements, budget constraints, and facility layout.
Athena is the only platform designed specifically around Department of Homeland Security best practices for patron screening. The system digitizes and enforces guidelines including documentation requirements, testing protocols, and secondary screening procedures. When auditors arrive, you have complete documentation.
We pioneered and patented technology that detects visitors attempting to bypass screening entirely. Traditional metal detectors only monitor the portal itself. Our computer vision algorithms monitor the entire screening area continuously. When individuals attempt to evade detection, security staff receive instant notifications. This proactive threat detection catches attempts other gun detection systems miss completely.
While competitors offer point solutions, Athena integrates weapons detection with visitor management, AI X-ray screening, telepresence security, and augmented reality alert glasses. When the X-ray system detects a threat, it automatically alerts AR glasses and triggers personalized hologram instructions. That integration creates layered security measures traditional systems cannot provide.

Event venues face unique security demands during sporting events and concerts when thousands of fans arrive simultaneously. Traditional metal detectors and manual bag checks create bottlenecks that frustrate guests and delay entry.
Manual bag screening creates 15-20 minute wait times during peak arrival periods, causing missed kickoffs and angry fans.
Our AI x-ray screening processes 400+ bags per hour per lane with automated threat detection, eliminating bottlenecks at public entrances.
Operators screening thousands of bags experience fatigue and miss dangerous objects in personal belongings and backpacks.
Stadiums have multiple entry points but cannot deploy enough security personnel to maintain thorough screening at every gate.
Centralized monitoring allows one operator to oversee multiple x-ray scanners simultaneously, with AI prioritizing alerts across all checkpoints.
Traditional screening triggers alerts for harmless personal items, requiring constant security intervention and slowing entry flow.
Our system differentiates between threats and everyday objects like phones and keys, reducing false positives by 99.9 percent.
New security personnel lack experience identifying threats in x-ray images, creating inconsistent screening quality across shifts.
AI provides consistent threat detection regardless of operator experience, while training new personnel through real-time verification of flagged items.
Existing x-ray scanners cannot integrate with modern threat detection software, forcing venues to replace expensive hardware.
Our platform works with major x-ray scanner brands already deployed, adding AI capability without requiring complete equipment replacement.
Many stadium operators delay security upgrades, hoping traditional metal detectors handle the job or waiting until the next budget cycle. But every game day without modern threat detection exposes your venue to preventable risks. The costs of inaction add up faster than you think.
Security incidents lead to lawsuit settlements averaging $5-15 million. Your insurance demands modern detection systems. Without them, premiums climb annually and coverage exclusions expand.
One security incident costs $2-8 million in lost ticket sales and concessions. Fans cancel. Sponsors reconsider. Leagues question whether your venue meets safety standards for championship events.
Promoters book venues with visible safety measures. Teams choose stadiums where fans feel secure. When your facility lacks modern screening, competitors capture major events and championship games.
Carriers require advanced screening for coverage. Your premiums rise annually while exclusions expand. Regulatory audits increase for venues without modern detection, risking permit delays and capacity restrictions.
