Airport-style screening arrives at convention centers

Large campuses are combining RFID access with millimetre-wave scanners and AI-assisted threat detection. Basetracking orchestrates passenger-style lanes that keep throughput high while satisfying elevated security mandates.

Operational design

Basetracking lanes feature RFID pre-check, threat-detection portals, and manual inspection stations. Delegates are pre-vetted; when badges are scanned, lane controllers preload risk scores to decide whether to fast-track or route to secondary screening.

The system adapts dynamically, opening new lanes and sending notifications to floor managers if queue times exceed agreed thresholds.

Security stack

  • • RFID identity verification with live revocation updates.
  • • Millimetre-wave screening tuned for conference-friendly bag policies.
  • • AI vision models flagging unattended items and restricted objects.

Implementation essentials

  1. Run site surveys for scanner placement, safe power draws and network cabling.
  2. Create integrated SOPs for security personnel, volunteers and emergency responders.
  3. Deploy simulation drills to pressure test response times and signage.
  4. Provide clear attendee comms about screening flow, prohibited items and accessible lanes.

Result highlights

A global fintech convention reduced security queue times by 41% compared with manual bag checks. Incident escalations dropped, and VIP convoys were cleared with a dedicated fast-lane integration powered by Basetracking’s command console.
