Innometriks partners with Lumidigm to tackle outdoor biometrics

Lumidigm announced that Innometriks has embedded Lumidigm's multispectral fingerprint sensors into its new multi-technology reader. The reader can be deployed as a self-service Common Access Card (CAC)/ TWIC/ Personal Identity Verification (PIV) validation device that provides self-guided and fully-authenticated enrollment into a facility access control system via a CAC/TWIC/PIV card. As such, the new reader can be a vetting station that provides complete validation of a CAC/TWIC/PIV credential — contact, contactless or magnetic stripe — including all card signatures, certificates and personal information.
 
Up until now, a trained operator was required to complete this task. Now, organizations can complete the validation in a self-service format, reducing labor costs and increasing ROI, while maintaining the chain of trust throughout the process.“The market has been looking for a way to be more efficient at vetting these complex credentials,” explained John Cassise, CEO of Innometriks.

A large seven-inch touchscreen provides a kiosk-level user interface to simplify instruction and minimize a user's learning curve. The reader can be wall-mounted, used on a desktop or positioned on a free-standing post. “We're excited to provide Innometriks' new reader with a solution that conventional fingerprint technologies simply cannot deliver,” said Bill Spence, VP for North America, Europe and Australia, Lumidigm.
