Evolv and Convergint Partner with Sports Club
on First Australian Deployment, Provide A Superior Screening
Experience at Melbourne Cricket Ground
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leading security technology
company pioneering AI-based screening to create safer experiences,
today announced its partnership with Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC),
the largest – and one of the oldest - sports clubs in Australia.
Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) recently hosted the Taylor Swift
Era’s Tour partnering with Evolv to help keep nearly 300,000 fans
safe.
The partnership marks the first deployment of Evolv Express®, a
detection screening system, in the country. It is also the largest
single-stadium deployment of Express outside of the United States.
Managed by Melbourne Cricket Club, Melbourne Cricket Ground is a
sports stadium in Yarra Park, Melbourne, Victoria. The stadium will
use Express systems to screen fans at all of its entry gates.
Melbourne Cricket Club was introduced to Evolv by Convergint,
which supplies Melbourne Cricket Ground with its other security
technology. Evolv Express uses sensors combined with AI to
differentiate between weapons and common metals people carry. At
Melbourne Cricket Ground, Express will be integrated with
Convergint’s video management system.
“We were looking for a more efficient entry experience for
guests coming to the Melbourne Cricket Ground,” said Rey Sumaru,
general manager of IT & innovation for the Melbourne Cricket
Club. “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.”
“There’s usually a large number of fans approaching the gates at
the same time, about 15-to-30 minutes before an event,” said Nick
Robertson, general manager, Convergint Australia. “There’s really
only one solution that can handle that amount of people in such a
short time, and that’s Express.”
Club leadership was made aware of Express through Convergint
prior to seeing Express in action at SoFi Stadium, home of the Los
Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, earlier last year. Following
the visit, Evolv and Convergint worked quickly to have Express in
use at Melbourne Cricket Ground by the end of 2023.
“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,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology.
Since the launch of Express, Evolv has screened more than 1
billion people. Melbourne Cricket Club joins a growing list of
teams and sports facilities around the world using Evolv for
weapons detection as part of their safety posture, from AO Arena in
Manchester, England, to stadiums and arenas across the United
States in Major League Baseball, the NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLS.
Evolv’s technology can also be found in leading theme parks,
performing arts centers, casinos and arenas in addition to hundreds
of schools, hospitals and places of worship. Evolv is committed to
making the world a safer place to live, learn, work and play.
