I-Evo, a UK manufacturer of a new generation of fingerprint readers, is working to ensure that entry to restricted areas at airports is allowed to just authorised personnel.
The I-Evo reader is ideal for Airport Access control as fingerprints are the one form of security that can’t be copied/lost or stolen. Security is paramount, but the system needs to be reliable and allow those who have access rights entry and deny those who don’t.
The world’s leading matching algorithm allows exactly this without jeopardizing or requiring adjustment of tolerance levels. With the ‘brains’ of the unit being a small control board and stored internal of the access point, this prevents access by removal of hardware and shorting of connections – experienced on other products on the market. Unless a new build, an airport will already have a form of Access Control – whether its keypads/Cards or Fobs – therefore the infrastructure is in place.
To replace fully and install a new system would be an immense drain on capital expenditure, but I-Evo allows simple integration into current systems – meaning you only replace the hardware at the access point, and no duplication of databases for access rights.
It is fair to say that many people’s perceptions of biometrics are that they are unreliable or difficult to use. This has been due in a large part to low quality from some of the traditional products. The I-Evo product has been developed over a number of years and this latest version offers a very high quality and robust solution that can operate in extreme conditions.
In addition to being able to operate in harsh conditions, the company even demonstrates their product working underwater! The external reader has an IP rating of 65 and an internal thermostat means that it can operate a temperatures as low as -20C. It can also scan a finger print through levels of dust, dirt, water, grease, oil, creams and even some latex gloves. This means that it is suitable for a wide range of business environments.
In addition to providing reliable and secure access control, the product is a very well designed with minimalistic styling, great aesthetics, retro fitment and custom colour option that allows the product to be integrated to the design of the interior of any building.
