Hitachi vein imaging technology (VeinID)
Hitachi recently partnered with Sagem Sécurité (SAFRAN group), the world leader in biometrics, to develop a multimode biometric recognition module. Developed and produced by Sagem Sécurité, this module will combine the best of Hitachi's vein imaging technology (VeinID) and Sagem Sécurité's fingerprint identification technology (Morpho).
The complementary nature of these two identification methods – recognition of the pattern of minute blood vessels under the skin, and simultaneously processing of fingerprint data – means that the module developed by Sagem Sécurité will offer levels of security and accuracy unrivaled worldwide. Designed to be easily integrated in any type of identification system, this module will meet requirements for a wide range of applications, including access control, identity checks and secure payments. By combining vein recognition with fingerprint analysis in a single, innovative module, we are able to offer biometric equipment that boasts unrivaled security performance.
“Our finger vein recognition is already widely used by Japanese banks to give customers easy, secure access to thousands of ATM machines”, commented Hideyuki Ariyasu, Managing Director of Hitachi Europe, “Combining this highly secure imaging technology with the world-class expertise of Sagem Sécurité, a leader in the security solutions market, provides an exciting opportunity to set a new authentication technology standard for goods and – even more importantly – to protect people's identities”.
