“We required a weapons system that would not only guarantee security but also maintain a welcoming environment for our guests.”
Meet the Apollo 500 AI powered weapons detection system engineered for a wide variety of use cases that require high throughput, consistent detection of dangerous items, and a low alarm rate. Now available on the Athena Platform. Trusted by leading healthcare providers, casinos, schools, and warehouse distribution facilities across North America.
Athena’s concealed weapons detection software across the nation enhance security screening by adding real-time accountability, visibility, and control beyond the physical detector. Our AI-powered security screening platform ensures every interaction is consistent, documented, and aligned with your organization’s SOPs—verifying who was screened, confirming systems are operational, and ensuring personnel properly conduct and record secondary screening.
Effective concealed weapons detection systems in California and across the nation require more than hardware alone. Athena provides full operational oversight—ensuring systems are powered, connected, and calibrated while creating accountability across officers, supervisors, and program managers. This level of visibility helps organizations maintain reliable, high-performance entryway security screening systems.
For organizations operating in California, Athena helps support AB 2975 of California compliance for weapons detection systems by supplying a WDS that complies with AB2975 but also digitizing screening workflows and maintaining audit-ready records. Our security screening compliance software enforces SOP adherence, tracks activity in real time, and strengthens oversight—helping hospitals schools, businesses, and public venues meet evolving state security requirements.
Athena integrates with leading concealed weapons detection technologies in California, including CEIA, Garrett, Apollo, and more, while aligning with DHS best practices. Unlike traditional systems, Athena delivers a unified AI security screening platform for monitoring, reporting, and enforcing procedures—helping organizations deploy more effective concealed weapons detection systems near you with consistent, data-driven results.

“We required a weapons system that would not only guarantee security but also maintain a welcoming environment for our guests.”
“It puts us in a position to see and detect the things that we’re not able to see with a naked eye.”
“Athena’s willingness to work with us to integrate advanced technology with what the security personnel do on a daily basis was paramount.”
