Latin America. HID Global made a representative collaboration with the Brazilian brand Henry, in order to strengthen a multispectral fingerprint sensor solution.
HID Global announces a new collaboration agreement with Henry, a Brazilian manufacturer and integrator of access control and presence control products; the objective of this alliance is to strengthen a multispectral fingerprint sensor solution for time monitoring and assistance in entities that demand greater security and usability in their systems.
The challenges faced by the government and industries in Brazil in general to monitor and certify the attendance of their employees at work through biometric systems, has become a difficult task due to the use of false fingers as a method of fraud. "We have witnessed many incidents involving people using false fingers, this deception represents for government entities and private sectors the loss of a large sum of budget that was paid to officials who were absent from their jobs, but present in the system of time and assistance," explained Juan Carlos Tejedor, sales director of biometric solutions of HID Global for Latin America.
In that sense, Henry selected MSI (Multi Spectral Imaging) to solve this situation and is now offering a robust and secure solution for a government entity in Brazil. The company recognized the superior qualities of this technology and is the first company in the country to integrate MSI into a time and attendance system.
HID Global's patented multispectral fingerprint technology captures unique surface and subsurface skin features, making it the most reliable fingerprint capture technology on the market. It works with normal fingers and also with fingers that are wet, dry or deteriorated, in all conditions of use, whether it has dirt, grease or sunlight reflects directly. Wet or cold conditions also do not affect its operation. HID Global's Lumidigm® biometrics solutions also feature upgradable "activity detection" capabilities in the field that help eliminate fraud, preventing the use of fake fingerprints or "spoofing" attacks. The devices use a higher-rated NIST-certified MINEX III minutia algorithm, interoperable with industry-standard fingerprint databases.
HID Global's Lumidigm biometric sensors with multispectral technology are currently used in retail banks, financial institutions and government agencies in Latin America to create a more convenient experience for users, increasing the security of ATMs and other transactions.
