Xtract One Technologies has announced that its Xtract One Gateway (“Gateway”) has been selected to protect key hospital locations in Manitoba, including the province’s Health Sciences Centre and Crisis Response Centre locations operated by Shared Health.
The system will redefine the security experience by balancing powerful threat detection with the seamless flow for individuals, enhancing safety standards, and optimising operational efficiency.
“Healthcare environments today face two security challenges: providing top-tier security while ensuring that both patients and caregivers feel safe and comfortable,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One.
“This is a trend we’re seeing across the healthcare sector, where providers are actively looking for solutions to these growing challenges, and we welcome the opportunity to play a role in securing health facility environments.” Xtract One’s screening solutions portfolio is designed to scan individuals and their belongings.
These solutions allow seamless passage through checkpoints and reduce the need for separate bag searches, thereby dramatically improving screening times. Gateway unobtrusively scans individuals, their pockets, tags, and backpacks for potential mass casualty weapons while distinguishing harmless personal items like laptops, tablets, three-ring binders, notebooks, eyeglass cases, keys, and phones. This streamlines access into and out of facilities without disrupting the flow of movement.
