CEIA USA Highlights Five Critical Questions to Ask Before Investing in Weapons Detection Technology

HUDSON, Ohio, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With safety becoming a top priority across industries—from campuses to venues—many organizations are considering weapons detection systems to protect students, attendees and staff. CEIA USA, the global leader in weapons detection technology, urges businesses to ask the right questions upfront to ensure an effective, long-term investment.

With more than 60 years of experience and trusted by high-security federal checkpoints, professional sports venues, amusement parks and thousands of schools, CEIA USA helps public and private sector clients nationwide implement scalable, effective security screening solutions.

"Security solutions don't have to be overly complex or costly," said Luca Cacioli, CEO at CEIA USA. "The key is understanding what you're really getting, both upfront and over time. The right questions help avoid hidden costs and ensure the system fits your needs."

Five Questions Every Purchaser Should Ask:

1. What does the total cost of ownership look like?
   Look for systems with transparent pricing. Some options seem low-cost upfront but require ongoing licensing fees with purchasers never owning the technology.
   
   
2. How is the detector tested?
   Ensure the manufacturer provides evidence the detector works as intended and that it meets Federal detection requirements and safety for medical implants standards.
   
   
3. Is it easy for staff to learn and operate?
   Consider systems that are intuitive and require minimal training, helping teams get up to speed quickly without expensive onboarding.
   
   
4. What kind of technical support is included?
   Prioritize providers that offer responsive, no-cost support—ideally 24/7—to help resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
   
   
5. How is data handled and stored?
   If the system logs activity, ensure it includes secure, compliant storage without surprise fees.
