CEIA OPENGATE® Weapons Detection Systems Raise the Bar for Fan Safety and Experience

CLEVELAND, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CEIA USA, a global leader in advanced electromagnetic metal detection technology, is proud to announce its official partnership with the Cleveland Browns. Selected as the team’s new designated weapons detection system following a comprehensive security technology review, CEIA USA will deploy its industry-leading CEIA OPENGATE® Weapons Detection Systems at Huntington Bank Field — marking an exciting new chapter in the Browns’ commitment to fan safety and gameday excellence.

The CEIA OPENGATE® system represents the definitive standard in walk-through security screening, providing fast, accurate, and non-intrusive threat detection that keeps entry lines moving and fans focused on what matters most: the game.

“We are thrilled to join the Cleveland Browns family as an official partner,” said Marilyn Thaxton, Manager, Marketing & Communications for CEIA USA. “The Browns conducted a thorough evaluation of their security needs and the solutions available to meet them. We’re honored that OPENGATE® demonstrated a decisive performance advantage— and we look forward to delivering the seamless, reliable performance their fans and organization deserve.”

The Browns highlighted operational dependability, speed of entry, and an enhanced fan experience as key priorities in their selection process. With OPENGATE® in place at Huntington Bank Field, fans can expect shorter wait times at entry points, a smoother arrival experience, and the confidence that comes with world-class security infrastructure protecting every home game.
