Automated Document Verification
Automated document verification is a technology that uses software and optical scanning to quickly and accurately validate identity documents such as passports, ID cards and visas. It checks for authenticity by analysing security features (e.g. holograms, MRZ codes, watermarks) and can extract key data using OCR (optical character recognition). Often used at check-in, eGates and security checkpoints, it enhances efficiency and security by reducing the need for manual inspection.
-
Biometrics
This category covers biometric technologies used throughout the passenger journey – from check-in to boarding. Solutions include facial recognition for seamless check-in and bag drop, identity verification at security checkpoints and biometric boarding passes that speed up gate processing. These tools enhance security by ensuring accurate identity matching while also improving passenger convenience through reduced wait times and contactless processing. Applications span airports, airlines and border control, supporting a secure, efficient and user-friendly travel experience.
-
E-gates & Immigration Counters
E-gates, also known as electronic gates, are automated passport control systems that use biometric technology to authenticate the identity of passengers. These gates scan the passport and take a photo of the passenger's face, which is then compared to the digital image stored in the passport's microchip. If the information matches, the gate opens and the passenger is allowed to proceed. E-gates are often used to speed up the passport control process, particularly for passengers who are eligible for fast-track services or have biometric passports. The suppliers on this page provide e-gate technology.
