AOptix Technologies, Inc, (AOptix) (www.aoptix.com), a US developer of iris recognition products, and Human Recognition Systems Ltd (HRS) announced their integrating of the AOptix InSight VM iris recognition system into 34 automated e-Gates at the Gatwick Airport South Terminal….
InSight VM is integrated into MFlow Track, developed by HRS for passenger identification as part of Gatwick’s automated security process.
“HRS has a great reputation in the aviation industry for deploying and integrating innovative world class identity solutions such as the one at Gatwick” says Dean Senner, Chief Executive Officer of AOptix. “Iris at-a-distance from AOptix and the HRS MFlow Track is the hassle-free, non-intrusive security experience that passengers are looking for at today’s modern airports.”
The AOptix-HRS approach matches passenger to boarding pass ; the system is intended to create secure, customer friendly passage into the international departure lounge area where passengers can shop, dine, and relax before they board flights.
““Human Recognition Systems has been deploying iris recognition systems for 10 years now and with the introduction of the InSight iris recognition solution from AOptix, we are able to exploit the full power of iris biometrics” said Neil Norman, Human Recognition Systems’ chief executive. “We are pleased to be working with our partner AOptix and in having the InSight VM integrated into our MFlow product and having successfully deployed the first system in Europe at Gatwick Airport."
“Already passengers are spending on average less than five minutes in security” said Geoff Williams, Head of Security at Gatwick Airport. “With our new spacious preparation area and 19 security lanes, some of which are designed to assist families with young children and premium travellers, the new technology will help increase the efficiency of the security operation and provide a better service."
AOptix was demonstrating at Biometrics 2011 on October 19 and 20 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Westminster, London. For additional information visit –
