Not long ago, building security was simpler. Access control meant keys, cards, or a guard at the door. Then came biometrics — fingerprints and facial recognition — ushering in a new era of convenience and control.
But environments have changed, as have the people moving through them. Today’s access managers don’t just oversee doors and databases, they manage flow, hygiene, risk, compliance, user experience, and evolving threats. Security has become more nuanced, complex, and human.
The question now is not only how secure a system is, but how adaptable. In reality, users arrive with gloves, masks, wet hands, or in a rush. They’re staff, contractors, visitors, and partners, each with different needs. If systems can’t adapt, they become friction or failure. Adaptability isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.
IDEMIA Public Security has worked with logistics hubs, airports, industrial sites, and critical infrastructure. Each has its own context, but all share one truth: flexibility makes security sustainable. For many, a single biometric, face or fingerprint, is exactly what’s needed. That’s why IDEMIA continues to support world-class single-mode devices deployed worldwide.
But some environments demand more. Wet or dirty hands, inconsistent face visibility, and high throughput require options.
That’s why we created VisionPass SP Fingerscan, not to replace what works, but to step in when more is needed. This dual-modality device combines facial recognition and fingerprint authentication in one rugged, compact form, offering face, fingerprint, or both.
This flexibility keeps access seamless: for logistics supervisors in dusty shifts, healthcare teams balancing sterile protocols, or critical sites requiring rugged reliability. VisionPass SP Fingerscan integrates IDEMIA’s patented 3D stereovision technology, fake finger detection, and a NIST-evaluated algorithm for fast, accurate, and fair matching.
The future of access won’t be defined by flashier features, but by systems that adapt reliably. When access works seamlessly, no one notices and that’s the goal.
