The famous Hersheypark family theme park in Pennsylvania, US, is now using Evolv’s artificial intelligence-based, touchless security screening system as part of its Covid-19 safety measures.

It provides a guest-friendly entrance experience reports Evolv, the company that is working within the digital transformation of physical security sector. The touchless system uses powerful sensors to screen up to 3,600 people per hour, ten times faster than legacy approaches such as metal detectors, hand wands and manual inspections.

The system will enable Hersheypark to ensure social distancing at its security checkpoints but minimise person-to-person interaction. That means no stopping no emptying of pockets or removing bags. Park guests simply walk through, alleviating long lines at entrances.

The park reopened on July 3 when the completely renovated main entrance designed to provide a stress-free, welcoming experience for guests was introduced. The $150m, 23-acre Hersey’s Chocolatetown development and park expansion uses Evolv’s Express systems at the entrance.
