Metrasens, a recognized leader in advanced detection systems, and a 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner, has launched its next generation detection system, Cellsense Ultra with Xact ID intelligent detection technology.

This reimagined detection system features expertly designed software algorithms and machine learning to boost all-around detection performance while introducing data collection, reporting, and systems integration.

Metrasens has seized the opportunity and created breakthrough technology, pushing the detection system category to new limits.

Through these achievements, Cellsense Ultra offers its users:

• Zone indication, designed and developed to be the most accurate on the market and most intuitive with LED light indicators evenly distributed across the whole vertical distance of the system to improve secondary screening efficiency.

• Improved mitigation of environmental interference, which translates into fewer false alarms and increased screening location options.

• Data collection and reporting, giving both operational intelligence and event tracking of the last 100,000 events to manage usage and compliance

• A cyber secure network interface, enabling centralized event log analysis, operating reporting, covert alert notification, and remote system setup.

• A PCAP, rugged, touchscreen GUI interface with user access restrictions to protect against unauthorized tampering.

• System integration capability to connect data output with other management or security systems.

• A future-ready solution, designed to continue evolving over time additive performance, features, and functionality.

• Contactless screening, allowing staff to maintain a safe social distance from those being screened for the utmost attention to safety

“Metrasens has been at the forefront of revolutionizing security technology and changing the status quo in contraband detection”, explained Dr. Simon Goodyear, Chief Executive Officer for Metrasens.

“Cellsense Ultra with Xact ID demonstrates our capability and determination to push detection systems further and further, and expanding their utility for our customers.”

“By taking a 360-degree view of our customers greatest challenges we have been able to innovate smarter, creating a thoughtful digital transformation we believe will exceed expectations.”

“Doing so during a pandemic and continuing to reinforce contactless screening methods makes this a great time for this product to reach the market.  Our customer pilot programs have been very successful and we are now excited to make Cellsense Ultra available more widely.”

Cellsense Ultra with Xact ID is initially available in the US for correctional facilities, courts, and related applications.  Other regions to follow.

Metrasens Takes Platinum in 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program

American Security Today’s ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards program is now in its Sixth Year and continues to recognize the Outstanding Innovations of top firms and agencies in the Homeland Security and Public Safety fields.

2020 was a very challenging year for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the much heralded AST ‘ASTORS’ Awards Winners Presentations and exclusive Luncheon at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC had to be canceled and rescheduled for 2021 due to the virus.

However, the 2020 ‘ASTORS’  Homeland Security Awards Program was again a huge success and many new categories were added including a section for COVID-19 Detection and Innovation.

Metrasens

• Best Metal/Weapons Detection Solution

• Proscreen 900

• Featuring highly effective ferromagnetic detection (FMDS) technology, Proscreen 900 was designed specifically to identify concealed mass casualty threat items (i.e. sub-machine guns, assault-style rifles, sniper rifles, and class III weapons).

(Today’s security screening options are defined by antiquated technologies and have lacked the innovation to bring new solutions to current security challenges. Soft targets such as stadiums, concert venues and campuses in general are in need of weapons detection that has been designed for their unique environments, one of open spaces and security-unfriendly infrastructure. In response Metrasens is addressing these challenges head-on with advanced technology and fresh thinking. Courtesy of Metrasens and YouTube.)

• Backed by the industry’s most rigorous weapons testing, Proscreen 900 is an ideal solution for added screening in your counterterrorism applications.

• *Metrasens was Also Recognized in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner
