Introducing SENA™: Bringing AI Into the Physical Security World

splan-sena-blog-image

Intelligent Security, Now in Motion.

Today marks an exciting new chapter in Splan’s innovation journey.

At GSX 2026 in Atlanta, Splan is unveiling SENA™ - Splan’s AI-powered physical security agent designed to bring intelligence, interaction, and automation into the physical world.

SENA can welcome, identify, assist, secure, monitor, and respond, helping organizations protect people, places, and assets while delivering smarter, more seamless experiences.

From employees and contractors to visitors, security teams, and physical security systems, SENA connects people, places, and technology through one intelligent presence. It understands what’s happening, determines what needs to happen next, and takes action in the physical world.

One intelligent agent. Every physical security experience. Endless possibilities.

AI Is Moving Into the Physical World

AI has transformed how we search, communicate, analyze information, and automate digital workflows.

But the physical world is different.

People enter buildings. Employees and contractors arrive at facilities. Visitors need assistance. Security teams monitor activity and respond to incidents. Physical security systems generate information that needs to be understood and acted upon. Emergencies happen.

The physical world requires AI that can do more than generate an answer.

It needs to see, understand, decide, and act.

That’s the opportunity we see with SENA.

What Can SENA Do?

SENA is designed to support a broad range of physical security experiences.

It can welcome, identify, assist, secure, monitor, and respond across the physical environment.

SENA can understand people, places, events, and activity.

It connects identity, context, intent, policies, and risk to better understand what is happening and what matters.

SENA can then apply AI reasoning and security workflows to determine what should happen next and help take action through interaction, assistance, alerts, verification, guidance, and connected security actions.

With Sentry Mode, SENA can serve as an intelligent physical presence within designated areas, helping security teams monitor activity, interact with people, identify situations requiring attention, and initiate appropriate security workflows.

And this is only the beginning.

One Intelligent Agent. Endless Possibilities.

One of the most important aspects of SENA is its ability to support custom security AI agents.

Every organization operates differently.

A pharmaceutical facility may need different security workflows than a data center. A manufacturing campus may have different requirements than a corporate headquarters. A healthcare organization may need specialized safety and security experiences.

SENA is designed to support those differences.

Organizations can create purpose-built AI agents for their unique physical security requirements, connect them to existing security systems, and give SENA new capabilities as their security needs evolve.

SENA isn’t limited to what it can do today.

It’s designed to learn, expand, and become part of what’s next.

SEE. UNDERSTAND. DECIDE. ACT.

At the heart of SENA is a simple idea:

SEE — Understand people, places, events, and activity.

UNDERSTAND — Connect identity, context, intent, policies, and risk.

DECIDE — Apply AI reasoning and security workflows to determine the next action.

ACT — Interact, assist, alert, guide, verify, and initiate connected security actions.

This is how we envision AI moving from the digital world into the physical world.

A New Era of Physical Security

For years, physical security has evolved by adding systems, sensors, credentials, cameras, applications, and integrations.

The next evolution is intelligence.

Imagine a physical security environment where AI can understand context, interact naturally with people, connect information across systems, orchestrate workflows, and help turn intelligent decisions into real-world action.

That’s the future we are building toward.

The AI-Physical Security Era.

And SENA is our first step.

Unveiling SENA at GSX 2026

We are proud to officially unveil SENA at GSX 2026 in Atlanta, with John M., CEO of SAGE, as our Guest of Honor, joining Madhu Gourineni, Cofounder & CEO of Splan Inc., for this special milestone.

We invite security leaders, technology partners, customers, and innovators to experience SENA and imagine what’s possible when AI moves beyond the screen.

Because the future of physical security isn’t just intelligent.

It’s in motion.

FAQs

SENA is Splan’s AI-powered physical identity agent designed to transform how organizations manage visitors and physical identity at the front door. It combines identity verification, visitor registration, AI-powered assistance, digital visitor IDs, security monitoring, and emergency management into one intelligent experience.

SENA simplifies the check-in process by giving visitors multiple ways to verify their identity and complete registration. Whether they are pre-registered, walking in, using an OTP, facial recognition, or interacting with SENA’s AI Virtual Assistant, the process is designed to be fast, intuitive, and seamless.

Yes. SENA supports walk-in registration. Visitors can present their ID, and SENA can capture the necessary information and guide them through the registration process.

Pre-registered visitors can present their QR code to SENA. SENA verifies their identity, confirms the visit, and completes the check-in process.

SENA supports multiple verification experiences, including QR code verification, ID-based registration, OTP verification, facial recognition, and AI-powered conversational assistance.

Yes. SENA includes an AI Virtual Assistant that allows visitors to interact conversationally. Visitors can tell SENA who they are, who they are visiting, and the reason for their visit, and SENA guides them through the appropriate process.

Once check-in is complete, SENA can send a digital visitor ID directly to the visitor’s mobile device, providing a convenient digital representation of their visitor identity.

Sentry Mode is designed to enhance security and situational awareness by enabling SENA to capture live photos, video, and activities. This can provide security teams with greater visibility into activity around the front door and lobby.

SENA can support mustering and emergency management by helping organizations account for people onsite during an emergency. This can help security teams respond more quickly and make informed decisions when every second matters.

The Security Command Center provides security teams with visibility into lobby activity and events. It helps bring front-door interactions into the broader physical security environment, enabling teams to monitor activity and respond more effectively.

No. SENA is designed to go beyond traditional visitor check-in. It brings together AI-powered assistance, physical identity verification, visitor management, digital visitor IDs, security monitoring, and emergency management capabilities into a unified experience.

SENA is designed for organizations that need to manage people arriving at their physical locations, including employees, contractors, visitors, and other onsite populations. It can help organizations create a more intelligent and streamlined experience at the front door.

SENA extends physical identity management to the point of arrival. It helps organizations verify identity, manage visitor interactions, provide digital identity, enhance security visibility, and connect the front-door experience with broader physical access and security processes.

Traditional visitor management often focuses primarily on registration and check-in. SENA is designed as an AI-powered physical identity agent that can greet, guide, verify, assist, monitor, and support security operations creating one intelligent experience from visitor arrival to physical access.

Yes. By automating and guiding many parts of the visitor journey, SENA can reduce repetitive manual steps associated with registration, identity verification, and check-in while giving security teams greater visibility into onsite activity.

The goal of SENA is simple: make the physical front door smarter. By combining AI, physical identity, visitor management, security, and emergency capabilities, SENA creates a more intelligent experience from the moment someone arrives to the moment they gain access.
