OPENGATE® Weapons Detection System
OPENGATE is a groundbreaking weapons detection system with the highest throughput and lowest nuisance alarms. Designed for minimal, and in some cases no divesting, based on the configured security level or equivalent alarm rate. Allows screening of backpacks, purses, and bags, with specialized shoe screening.
Revolutionary Weapons Detection
OPENGATE is a high-throughput weapons detection system that enables faster screening of people with backpacks, purses, and bags for weapons. As the first and only fully wire-free, active walk-through detection system, OPENGATE uses two freestanding pillars with no mechanical or electrical connection between them. This revolutionary arch-free design delivers the highest throughput with the lowest nuisance alarms, which can eliminate the divesting process where needed. The system features specialized shoe screening, LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity with optional asset tracking, and built-in ASTM F3566-22 Standard Security Levels for compliance.
Weighing only 25 pounds and requiring less than one minute for setup, OPENGATE is highly portable and quick to install. Battery operation provides up to 20 hours of continuous use, while the standard 110V wall outlet option enables permanent installations. With clear GO/NO GO signaling that requires minimal training, OPENGATE is ideal for stadiums, schools, transportation hubs, and all public venues that require rapid crowd screening.
