Patriot One Technologies awarded Security Today’s ‘New Product of the Year’

Its AI-driven SmartGateway patron-screening solution is utilized in casinos.
Patriot One Technologies announced its SmartGateway patron screening solution was awarded Security Today’s ‘New Product of the Year’ prize. SmartGateway is a patron-screening solution placed at entrances to casinos, stadiums and other entertainment venues, to keep weapons out and enhance the visitors’ experience.
The technology is being used to keep casinos across the country safe, including the Tachi Palace Casino Resort in California, as well as live music venues such as the new Moody Center in Austin.
SmartGateway won in the category of Pedestrian Security Entrances. It uses AI sensors to unobtrusively scan for guns, knives and other banned items, without requiring a physical pat down. This is a significantly safer and less time-consuming approach than traditional walk-through metal detectors.
Patriot One CEO Peter Evans commented: “By being recognized in entry security, an industry that hasn’t seen innovations in quite some time, this award validates our innovation, technology and business approach and shows the value that modern artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled weapons detection solutions have on venues and facilities.
“Since its release earlier this year, SmartGateway has protected countless patrons and staff members in various industries. I’m proud of the work our team has done to make SmartGateway customizable and flexible for every security scenario, and we are looking forward to delivering continued innovation and value to our customers on top of this platform.”
Security Today editor-in-chief Ralph C. Jensen emphasized that Patriot One triumphed in a packed category, saying: “We are fortunate to have so many entries and applaud every entrant for their ingenuity and painstaking efforts to ensure the security business is meeting technology challenges.
“New Product of the Year confirms to me that the best and the brightest are completely invested in their craft and have strategic plans to bring new technology to the forefront.”
