This is not only relevant because the accuracy ensures maximum security, but also because of the level of detail obtained, even for the most challenging fingerprint conditions. Intrusions such as dirt, dust, oil, water, creams, even henna pose no challenge. Shallow fingerprints, be it natural or injury caused, and even deliberately erased ridges are still accurately read. This brings a highly efficient level of security.

It also accommodates fingers whose users can be quite diverse. Furthermore, the 3D Terminal is touchless, and this is a very important factor. With hygiene considerations, users do not have to place their fingers on a surface previously touched by many others and therefore, it restricts the potential spread of infectious agents. This is particularly relevant in the healthcare, hospitality or food and pharmaceutical industries. In the education sector, thousands of users, both students and staff can have an instrument to control access in a single device, to log teachers working hours, to record student attendance in classes and exams, even to log in in a campus miles away.

The qualities of the 3D Terminal do not end with the sensor, and testament to that is that multiple worldwide system integrators have already put their trust in this device. The likes of Nedap, Lenel, Honeywell and Siemens have easily integrated the TBS subsystem into their own platforms, and countless partners across the world seamlessly integrate the 3D Terminal in their customer’s access control and/or time and attendance systems.
