AiQ ANPR Technology Strengthens Security & Operations at Premier League Stadium and Manchester Arena
- Stadium Management and Enforcement
What Was the Objective?
A leading Premier League football club and the nationally significant Manchester Arena required a modern, intelligence-driven approach to managing vehicle movements, improving visitor flow, and strengthening perimeter security. With large-scale events drawing tens of thousands of visitors, both venues sought a robust ANPR solution capable of supporting security teams, law enforcement partners, and operational staff while meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
The Solution
MAV Systems deployed its advanced AiQ ANPR platform across both the stadium and arena, delivering a high-accuracy, AI-powered vehicle intelligence system designed specifically for complex, high-density environments. The solution included panoramic context imaging, GhostPlate™ detection for manipulated plates, secure TPM-backed encryption, and precision GPS to ensure data integrity. AiQ’s open architecture allowed seamless integration with police intelligence systems, car park management platforms, and operational analytics tools—giving security teams real-time visibility of vehicle activity and enabling automated access control, congestion reduction, and improved event-day efficiency.
