This performance standard, which was established for airports in the European Union (EU), is now recognized as a highly sought-after indicator of quality and performance for security equipment that has passed rigorous laboratory testing procedures. “The ECAC certification is a standard similar to that of TSA certification in the US, and it has been adopted by a much wider international security market outside of Europe,” said Aaron Arellano, Senior Product Manager for Garrett. “Achieving this EU certification further validates the technology and sophisticated capabilities of the Garrett PD-6500i walk-through metal detector.” Garrett’s PD-6500i is a 33-zone security walkthrough that already meets many of the world’s most rigorous certifications, including those of the TSA (US airport standards), STAC (French airport standards), AENA (Spanish airport standards), and CJIAC (Japanese airport standards). The latest ECAC certification was the result of the PD-6500i’s successful completion of the ECAC Common Evaluation Process (CEP), wherein the product demonstrated its consistent, repeatable, and reliable performance against rigorous industry testing procedures. “We hear from increasing numbers of customers that they trust the ECAC standard, and not only in Europe. Furthermore, the ECAC standard, unlike the NIJ standard, comes with third-party test validation. As a result, security buyers can rest assured that ECAC-certified products perform to the standard. This is not the case with products that claim to be NIJ compliant, as those claims are solely based on the subjective self-certifications of the manufacturers,” said Garrett CEO Steve Novakovich.

The new Garrett Multi Zone was designed as a powerful yet affordable security solution for schools and government buildings, as well as large public arenas used for sporting events and concerts. “In designing the new Multi Zone detector, our engineering team has implemented key software upgrades for enhanced detection,” said Aaron Arellano, Senior Product Manager for Garrett. “The Multi Zone includes 20 detection zones, with light bar indicators on both panels, and a one-hour battery backup module to keep the detector fully functional in the event of a power outage.” Garrett’s Multi Zone walkthrough provides precise location of one or more metal objects simultaneously. Designed to be user-friendly for operators, the Multi Zone includes an Auto-Scan function that automatically selects the optimal operating frequency for environmental noise cancellation. Other helpful features include: an intuitive menu design with clear prompts; a convenient slider bar to quickly adjust the value of a detector setting; and pre-set programs geared to meet the needs of specific security applications, such as special events, mass transit, and loss prevention. With an optional iC Module, the Garrett Multi Zone can be wired or wirelessly networked for control and monitoring purposes. High intensity LED indicators on the detector—five times brighter than the indicator lights on some machines—are clearly visible, even in direct sunlight. When equipped with optional casters and a backup battery, the Multi Zone is fully portable for deployment without the use of power cables. In addition to such versatility, the unit is protected from tampering by several layers of access control.

SmartScan is offered as either an add-on accessory for new Garrett PD 6500i or MZ 6100 walk-through metal detectors, or it can be retrofitted into previously-installed Garrett detectors. “We are very pleased to be adding this exciting capability to our walk-through metal detector products,” said Garrett CEO Steve Novakovich. “Never before has thermal screening been so fast and easy for Garrett Metal Detectors customers.” Garrett SmartScan technology allows body temperature measurements to be taken simultaneously with metal detector security screening. “This allows your security checkpoint to become an efficient, multi-functional, no-contact portal using artificial intelligence,” said Garrett Senior Product Manager Aaron Arellano. Among the early users of this new technology is the City of Fort Worth, Texas, which installed new Garrett’s SmartScan walk-through metal detectors at Fort Worth City Hall and the adjacent A. D. Marshall Public Safety Building. In a press release issued December 2, City Marshal Philip J. Swift explained that the SmartScan system was designed to create a “positive flow” and to speed up the screening process, making the Fort Worth buildings more accessible and safer for everyone. SmartScan has also been installed in other cities to protect arenas, K-12 schools, manufacturing facilities, and office buildings.

March 24, 2020 To our valued partners, Due to the spread of the coronavirus, local officials in Dallas County have instituted a Shelter in Place order as a preventative measure which will require Garrett to close our production facility effective midnight, March 23. The order states that it will be in effect for a period of two weeks. While this limits some important activities at Garrett, including manufacturing operations, I am pleased to announce that our diligent preparations over the past few weeks were designed to mitigate the impact of a shutdown period. The Garrett team’s efforts have positioned us to continue to support our customers and key internal processes and initiatives during the shutdown period from remote locations. Some of these capabilities are: Shipping of finished goods from our European warehouse Limited shipping of finished goods from our Garland warehouse All aspects of Customer Service Phone-based Technical Support Product Development activities Sales and Marketing Finance and Accounting In short, we will spend the shutdown period continuing to support our customers, planning for the launch of an exciting new product, and doing design and development work to build for the future. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, our valued customers and partners, and we welcome your calls and inquiries in the midst of a challenging environment. Thank you for being part of our world.
