Use case
Exhibition and Conference Security Screening
In an era where security incidents in public places are a growing concern, exhibition, conference, and trade fair organizers are increasingly looking to adopt innovative solutions to ensure the safety of their visitors and exhibitors while at the same time providing a smooth and speedy entry experience to the venue.
The challenge
Thousands of visitors, one smooth entry
In an era where security incidents in public places are a growing concern, exhibition, conference, and trade fair organizers are increasingly looking to adopt innovative solutions to ensure the safety of their visitors and exhibitors while at the same time providing a smooth and speedy entry experience to the venue. Such locations are dynamic environments that draw thousands of visitors, and while events present opportunities for networking, education, and business growth, they also come with significant security challenges. Managing large crowds, ensuring safety, and screening visitors and staff for weapons or explosives efficiently without hindering attendee flow is crucial due to safety and terrorism concerns. Solutions to these security challenges require sophisticated, proactive approaches.

The challenges
Crowd management at trade fairs
A typical trade fair can feature a diverse crowd, ranging from exhibitors to visitors, with varied security needs. Event organizers need effective solutions that ensure safety without disrupting the visitor experience.
01
Large, dense crowds
Managing large groups of people in confined spaces presents numerous risks, from crowd crushes to security breaches.
02
Threat detection
With increasing concerns about safety and terrorism, detecting weapons or explosives without disrupting the flow of attendees is a top priority.
03
Emergency response
A coordinated response to any incident is critical to minimizing harm.
04
Regulatory compliance
Trade fairs and exhibitions must adhere to strict safety regulations, which can vary from one country to another.
Key features
The HSS Falcon at the entrance
An advanced human security screening system that streamlines crowd management while enhancing security.
Walk-through screening
No stopping, no manual search
HSS Falcon scans individuals as they pass through the inspection zone. Unlike traditional metal detectors, it uses a combination of advanced sensors, artificial intelligence and imaging technology to detect potential threats, including weapons and explosives, without requiring visitors to stop or be manually searched.
Non-intrusive and efficient
A smooth flow of people
Designed for a high throughput with minimal disruption, keeping the flow of people moving smoothly. This is particularly important at trade fairs, where long queues can quickly lead to frustration and safety concerns.
Real-time threat detection
A quick, discreet response
Identifies dangerous objects without alerting the entire venue unnecessarily, so security personnel can respond quickly and discreetly to potential threats.
Data-driven insights
Better plans for the next event
Its data management tool generates analytics that help event organizers optimize security protocols and improve overall crowd management.
Customizable and scalable
From a regional fair to an international convention
Tailored to the needs of each event, scaled to the size of the venue and the expected visitors.
White Paper
How to Make Trade Fairs More Secure

Optimized flow and queuing
Organizers can adjust entry point locations and manage queues more effectively, reducing wait times and the risk of congestion.
02
Integrated data management
By tracking the flow of people, HSS Falcon helps organisers monitor crowd density at entry points and spot bottlenecks early on for future events.
03
Integration with other safety systems
Works with surveillance cameras, access control and emergency communication tools, from a security breach to an evacuation scenario.
04
Cost-effectiveness
Fewer staff are needed to operate the equipment and respond to alerts, and the system supports compliance with international safety standards.
