The new Suprema SFM6000 Series is designed to provide the optimal fingerprint authentication solution for various areas including access control terminals, time attendance devices, door locks, alarm panels, safes, vending machines automotive, ATMs and fast-growing IoT applications.

Moreover, the series brings significant improvements on the hardware side to provide a robust solution for applications with harsh environments. The new improved optical sensor structure now provides IP65-rated ingress protection and operating temperature has also been extended to cover from -15℃ to 60℃. For developers, the new SFM6000 Series now allows for easier integration by supporting open source hardware platforms including Arduino and Raspberry pi.

The SFM6000 Series also provides complete backward compatibility by maintaining SFM5000 & 3000’s form factor and sensor types. This allows existing customers of SFM5000 & 3000 Series to put minimal effort into the adoption of improved benefits of the SFM6000 Series fingerprint modules.

“Suprema’s new SFM6000 Series is our answer to dynamic market demands from leading global manufacturers. The SFM6000 Series will be the first choice for those who aims to build best-of-breed fingerprint terminals and will also address growing demand from open source hardware applications,” said Brian Song, CEO at Suprema. ““With biometrics becoming more popular for IoT, the SFM6000 Series will provide our customers with a better opportunity to penetrate their business into this emerging market,” Song added.
