ecurity has been one of the major concerns in
Srecent times. Security assurance continuously
haunts individuals, organisations, and
governments. Despite efforts by all these entities to
secure their access control mechanisms, security
breaches are rampant.
Security is the biggest concern even for access control
system manufacturers. Technological advancements
have made our personal and work lives easier, but
these have also brought many security issues. As a
solution, techno-geeks came up with biometrics.
Biometrics came into being with the emergence of
computer technology, albeit slowly. That was in the
1990s. By 2000, biometrics became a part of everyday
applications. From fingerprint sensors on your mobile
phones, data security systems, fingerprint cards, face
recognition, blue tooth, QR Codes, and what-not,
biometrics is upheld as the most effective security
system in public and private.
When discrepancies were noted in manual tasks like
daily attendance register, documents, and other
routine work, identity card punching came into being.
But security breaches and proxy punching issues
began coming up, making the job more challenging for
security solution providers. As they say, necessity is the
mother of all inventions – security solution companies
began to look for more powerful

individuals, companies, and governments. And these
are not just restricted to attendance or entry-gates.
Every sector today predominantly uses biometrics for
security.
The most reliable security option now is biometric
security systems. These are driving the access control
security industry, and rightly so, as they are
endeavouring to bring in more transparency.
Biometrics are convenient and are known for accurate
validation of personnel.
Biometric authentication includes facial and iris
recognition, fingerprint scans, vascular pattern
recognition, biometric access terminals, CCTV
surveillance, fire alarm detection, and suppression,
building management systems, intrusion security,
time/attendance systems, telecom, and other industrial
solutions. It also recognises heartbeat, iris, face, vein,
voice, and other factors with various biometric devices.
Biometrics is the most effective tool in human
resource (HR) management. Security solutions have
come a long way and are still counting the miles to go.
Who had ever imagined that one could unlock mobile
phones with a fingerprint, click selfie photographs with
hand gestures, swipe cards for transactions, and what-
not little things in personal and work life! But it is
happening, and the techno-geeks are simply
unstoppable when it comes to innovations.
The COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated the need
and demand for biometrics. Well, we don’t have a
shortage of technocrats who are over-working their
grey cells, even as this edition goes for print.
We chose a few biometric companies that went above
and beyond to innovate gadgets and systems that
were unimaginable some decades ago or were just a
part of Sci-fi films.

12. ecurity is one of the essential aspects of everyday life.
SIt is given the utmost importance in every industrial
or personal space. Keeping the data safe is the prime
concern for industrialists. Likewise, keeping the home safe
is the prime concern of every common man. A solution to
these concerns is Biometric Security Solutions. One of the
best ways to ensure security is using Biometrics solutions.
As the advent of security solutions is booming, different
solutions related to security are also evolving. Innovative
solutions like facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, and
digital mobile access card are heavily taking over the
market when it comes to Biometric Security Space. One
company that provides all these innovative biometric
solutions is Suprema.
Suprema is one of the world's top access control providers,
including time and attendance management, and biometric
security solutions. It offers an extensive portfolio of
security devices, including biometric access control systems
such as face and fingerprint recognition, mobile
authentication systems, web-based access control, and HR
management. With a worldwide sales network spanning
over 140 countries, Suprema ranks among the top 50
security manufacturers and has the number one market
share in biometric access control in the EMEA region.
A Thoughtful Leader
Shreyans Vasa is the Country Manager at Suprema India.
He has extensive experience with a wide range of access
control and security technology, including biometric
devices, CCTV surveillance, fire alarm detection and
suppression, building management systems, and intrusion
security.
He also has experience related to technology such as
time/attendance systems, telecom, and other industrial
solutions. He joined the Suprema India team in 2020,
following a decade-long career in team management.
Shreyans has a Bachelor of Technology degree in
Instrumentation and Control Engineering and a Mini MBA
in Business Administration, Management, and Operations.
Aspiring Ventures
In the early 2000s, fingerprint recognition technology was
the leading biometric solution. This technology requires
complex algorithms for image processing, as well as
custom hardware and software. Suprema had the
competitiveness of the researchers fit for the task, so the
company developed its fingerprint recognition algorithm.
Based on this algorithm, Suprema took first place in the
Asia of 2002 Fingerprint Verification Competition, and in
2004, it was ranked first in the world.
Secure Services
It offers a wide range of access terminals that accept every
authentication option available, including RFID, PIN
numbers, biometric options including facial and fingerprint
recognition, and contactless mobile access using Bluetooth
or QR codes.
Suprema's BioStar 2 web-based security platform lets
access control administrators manage every terminal and
user, along with time and attendance, visitors, and more. In
large and highly secured spaces, this is all backed by its
CoreStation intelligent door controller, which is capable of
linking multiple biometric terminals across a large area and
efficiently servicing a vast number of people.
Challenges – A part of Victory
Suprema's first biometric access control terminal was
BioStation, which was launched in 2006. There were many
global innovations in the mobile phone industry during this
time, including improvements in LCD screens, multimedia,
WiFi communication, and more. Suprema further developed
upon these new technologies and adapted them into
BioStation, which revolutionized the access control
industry with its color LCD display, fingerprint recognition,
and more technologies, including design itself. It was a big
hit!
Fast-forward to 2021, and its highest-rated technology is
Suprema's facial recognition and mobile access solutions.
Facial recognition has had a reputation for having a 'one-
race bias,' meaning that any facial recognition system
would typically only be able to recognize people of the
same ethnicity as its developer since that is what the AI is
trained to 'see'.
Suprema worked tirelessly to overcome this limitation.
Now it is proud to say that its industry leading FaceStation
F2 biometric terminal can recognize people of any ethnicity

“
13. There is also a
growing demand for
access control devices
supporting multiple
authentication methods
in any lighting conditions. This is a factor that has helped it
to lead the biometric security solutions space in the global
market.
Together with face recognition, it is also looking at a big
move in the mobile access area. Suprema has spun off the
MOCA inc. as affiliate in 2019 to grow mobile access
business, and MOCA has successfully made a quantum leap
in the mobile access area. Suprema is always trying to give
more valuable solutions and services to customers and
facing challenges when trying to make this kind of effort
work in the market.
Sustaining the Pandemic
Since many people no longer want to touch public access
points such as door handles, RFID cards, etc., one knock on
effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a rising interest
in contactless access control. This has resulted in a plethora
of new vendors entering the space to fill the demand.
However, Suprema has been innovating and pioneering
contactless access control for over ten years, specifically
facial recognition.
In this time, it has seen the market grow steadily thanks to
advancements in technology, which increase accuracy and
user comfort. While the core technology itself is nothing
new, Suprema believes that the pandemic has affected the
public in a way that acceptance of facial recognition and
other contactless access control have become much more
common now.
For some examples of Suprema's contactless devices, its
FaceStation F2 facial recognition access control terminal is
extremely fast — it can authenticate and grant access as
people walk by without requiring each individual to stop
and look at the camera. Suprema recently released X-
Station 2 and Airfob Patch, both very versatile mobile
access devices that use Bluetooth and NFC technology to
read digital access cards stored on a smartphone.
This allows admins to send access cards in advance via
email, and visitors can walk straight in — zero face-to-face
contact required. Airfob Patch is also particularly easy to
install — it can be attached to an existing RFID reader via
an adhesive strip and requires no electrical plug or batteries.
14. These are some of Suprema's contactless devices that have
been selling very well during this pandemic period.
There have also been significant technological
advancements during the past couple of years. There are a
lot of opportunities to be found in the growing
sophistication of artificial intelligence and deep learning,
both areas where Suprema has a core competence. Suprema
believes it will become increasingly important in the future
for systems to seamlessly support this kind of flexibility.
Crisp Details
In a world that is increasingly emphasizing both personal
and corporate security, biometrics are definitely here to stay.
However, if used incorrectly, such data can be used for ill
purposes. New entrepreneurs need to consider how best to
respect and secure the privacy and rights of those who —
consensually or unwittingly — give up their biometric
identifying information.
Robust Future
Suprema ranks first in global market share in the field of
biometric readers. It believes that visual recognition
technology will soon spill over into the security industry,
with surveillance cameras featuring built-in AI capable of
efficiently alerting people when it identifies smoke,
intrusions, weapons, and other suspicious or dangerous
activities. Essentially, Suprema envisions a future where
access control and security are merged as one, with
everything being controlled by cameras and AI.
This means that Suprema will have to change its business
model to take advantage of this market opportunity. Over
the past 20 years, it has focused on access control and
developed everything in-house. But now, it is looking to
make partnerships that can help it build synergies.
Suprema aims to develop its visual recognition algorithms
to recognize faces and, for example, weapons, suspicious
body movements, or smoke. As this requires crossing into a
technology sector, it does not yet have much experience.
The right partnerships will make all the difference.
Industry Insights
It is a huge market. According to a recent report by
Emergen Research, the Biometrics-as-a-service global
market size is predicted to surpass USD 6.4 billion by 2028.
This encompasses not only building security but also
mobile devices, etc. Nowadays, biometric authenticated
secure mobile payments have become very popular,
showing how much importance people place on personal
security. Still, that's just the consumers and the individuals.
While looking at larger organizations such as corporations,
industrial complexes, or government buildings, security is
paramount, and biometrics is king.
The global pandemic has also undoubtedly had an impact
on the industry. However, a report by Omdia revealed that
revenues from biometric reader sales declined by 6.9%
from 2019 to 2020, owing to the impact of COVID-19.
These numbers include fingerprint readers. This should not
be surprising when the rising interest in contactless access
control is considered. However, sales of contactless facial
recognition readers are still going strong — a fact Suprema
can attest to.
Safety being the Priority
Biometric authentication access terminals, of course,
strengthen security systems for the companies that install
them. But they also offer a range of benefits for the people
that pass through these access points, including staff,
management, customers, and visitors.
Facial recognition, for example, has become the gold
standard for contactless identity verification, which has
become very important during the pandemic. Suprema's
FaceStation F2 can authenticate users super quickly as they
walk past — when installed at a checkpoint with touchless
turnstiles, visitors can pass through very quickly with zero
physical contact required.
On the other hand, you have fingerprint recognition, which
offers the high level of security that biometric
authentication has to offer, even while people are wearing
masks or are otherwise covering their faces.
And for those who require very high levels of security, it is
possible to store biometric information on physical RFID
cards or digital mobile access cards. Meaning, you could set
up an access point to require all three types of identity
verification: fingerprint, facial recognition, and a swipe of
an RFID or mobile access card.
There is also a
growing demand for
access control devices
supporting multiple
authentication methods

16. Biometrics
Providing Zeniths of Security Solutions
biometric security systems can verify
an individual's identification with high
precision and reliability since
biometric qualities are ingrained in the
individual. One such excellent
biometric company providing several
solutions for safety is Cams
Biometrics.
Cams Biometrics – Beyond the Limits
With the growing fraudulent and
criminal activities, the world is
demanding new ways of security
systems. Cams Biometrics had to apply
advanced artificial intelligence to not
only overcome the ongoing fraudulent
activities but also to prevent future
crimes.
Cams is the only manufacturer that
provides the Web API to their
biometrics along with API to the
ZkTeco, eSSL, BioMax, Identix, etc.
Web API helps the biometric devices to
communicate with any remote server
on a real-time basis and allows the
server to communicate back to the
device. Cams is operating across the
globe from India (CamsUnt.Com) and
Nigeria (CamsBiometrics.Ng).
ith technology entering
Wevery part of contemporary
life and our environment
becoming increasingly computerized,
safeguarding sensitive information
becomes increasingly challenging.
Passwords and keys were long thought
to be sufficient for data security, but
they now appear to be increasingly
ineffective in the face of sophisticated
hacker attacks.
Passwords, in reality, are the weakest
link in an organization's security
strategy. This is because they are
shareable, and even those with high
entropy may be cracked using several
approaches.
Recent reports of network security
breaches and identity thefts reinforce
the necessity for a solid authentication
technique in today's world. This has
shifted the emphasis to biometric
security, as it is the only effective
method of proving an individual's
identification. Biometric features are
physical and behavioral characteristics
that are intrinsic and unique to each
individual and include fingerprints,
face, iris, stride, voice, etc. As a result,
We have seen it

visitors and automatically captures the
faces of the unknown people, etc.
It helps to find where the vehicles are
parked, how long it is parked, and who
is driving, etc.
Membership Management
Places like Gyms, Clubs, Tuition
centres, etc., need the elimination of
access for entering the building beyond
the expiration of their membership.
Cams biometrics are built with API to
restrict the people from the given date.
While the membership is renewed, the
respective user is activated
automatically without re-registration of
the same user.
Temperature and Mask Detector
Detects the temperature of the user and
validates it before allowing access to
the door entry. Detects face from a
long distance up to three metres and
records if the mask is worn.
If the user is unknown, it captures the
face and sends it to the server, which
helps the software alert the respective
admins. Also, the biometric device
detects up to five users at a time that
allows to speed up the entry access.
Automatic Employee
Tracks the in/out record of the
students/employees automatically
while they are entering or leaving. The
recorded data is instantly sent to the
server, which helps the software handle
sending SMS, email, or mobile push
notifications.
It is a stylish device to install at high-
end office buildings or schools.
It does not need any fingerprint or face
recognition. The punches will be
recorded as long as a regular rfid card
is hanging around the neck while
walking in/out.
Guard Patrol Systems
Security guards’ timely patrol is very
important for the apartments, factories,
and various workplaces. Also, the
patrol of police in the city is very
important. But tracking them to ensure

21. ome Sweet Home!" – That's the thought which
Halways comes to our mind whenever we think
about or simply miss our home, whenever we are
away from it. And in current times another thought follows
the previous thought, immediately. Is our home safe enough
for our family and our loved ones?
In short, we know our home is sweet, it always has been,
but we want to be sure that it is safe and will remain that
way, either we are staying in it, or are away from it.
But how to do it?
Simple. How about a self-secured, automatically safe Smart
Home?
Exactly. Home Automation is the key to the 'Safety and
Security' lock. Thus, let's have detailed insights into the
home security space from the POV of revolutionary
automation.
Home Automation System is an interlinked network of
electronic home appliances, and electronic home security
devices, controlled and monitored centrally with the help of
computers.
If a thief breaches into any of our modern homes, what will
he look for and for that where will he go? This is the first
and foremost issue around which the entire home security
system space is developed.
On the other hand, in a normal day-to-day routine, how we
can live comfortably, peacefully, and move around the
house easily, is the central point around which home
convenience/safety system is developed.
Now, Home Automation using internet of things (IoT)
connects convenience, safety and security systems
(including all of their devices) seamlessly into a whole

full/partial access and control.
Home Convenience/Safety System:
Earliest Home Automation began with the introduction of
human labour-saving machines like self-sufficient gas or
electric-powered home appliances. They became
commonplace by 1900 because of the widening electric
energy/power distribution, thus paving way for sewing
machines (by 1790), water heaters (by 1889), washing
machines (by 1904), refrigerators (by 1913), dishwashers
(by 1917), cloth dryers (by 1937).
In 1975, X10 – the first-ever home automation network
technology (electronic device's communication protocol)
was developed for general purposes. For signalling and
control, the system uses electric power transmission
cabling. The signals include short radiofrequency surges of
digital data. By 1978, X10 products came equipped with a
lamp module, an appliance module and a command console
of 16 channels. It was followed by the first X10 timer: a
wall switch module.
Today, Home Convenience/Safety System may include
energy- (ventilation, heating, lighting, air-conditioning)
controlling and monitoring devices, labour-reducing home
appliances, lifestyle and entertainment devices, life-saving
home appliances, smart kitchen appliances, and so on…
Home Security System:
With each passing day, home security systems are evolving
to provide failsafe home security solutions along with state-
of-the-art features like keyless doors, remote-controlled and
monitored devices etc.
Starting earliest by 1853, the simple burglar/intruder alarm
was electrified and popularised by Edwin Holmes, who
bought the patent from Reverend Augustus Russell Pope of
Somerville, Massachusetts, the original inventor of the first
ever such a device.
And over the last century and a half, the invention was
amplified by generations of innovators and businessmen
giving us today's modern home security system. And for the
past few years market competition led to in-synced digital,
internet-based gadgets being affordable for common people.
Nowadays, we always imagine a smart home as digitally
secure. But smart doesn't mean only convenience, safety
and security. In the term 'smart home', the word smart refers
to the system which uses Internet of Things (IoT) and ICT
or information and communication technologies, remains
aware of the state of all of its devices, along with being
reliable, convenient, real-time, and user-friendly.
This revolution is furthered by today's tech giants who
along with established market players in the home security
business, are developing novel more in-synced, more up-to-
date, professional security devices, applications, and
systems.
Today's best home security systems contain quality
hardware that is easy to install and maintain. The hardware
includes Computer/s, I/O devices (microphones, speakers,
keypads etc.), Storage Drives, Batteries, Inverters, Modems,
Routers, TV-box, Wi-fi box, Touchscreen security panels,
Cameras or Recording devices, Sensors (static or motion),
Alarms, Switches, cables, connectors, display
monitors/signs etc. The hardware may be wired or wireless
depending on the make and cost.
The software includes mobile apps, Computer OS, other
device application software, and complete user-interface
software etc.
Home User Interface:
It can also be called Smart Hub, Central Hub or Central
Control Unit. It is the set of static or portable hardware
(Computers, Smartphones, Laptops, Tabs etc.) along with
the pre-installed system or/and application software.
Many of these systems, devices are using the latest
biometric technologies like
fingerprint/face/iris/retina/palm/voice/gesture
scanners/sensors/detectors, thus making the whole
experience comfortable.
With the advent of AI, Robotics, Machine Learning
technologies, home automation and security space are
getting revolutionised beyond our imagination.
Soon, the day is not far and when we will think about our
home, we will be sure that it's a place that is not only sweet
but also smart, secure, and automatically safe.
In short, the thought about our home will give us a serene
feeling of not only 'Home Sweet Home' but that of 'Home
Smart Home'.

open to avoid touchpoints in the
COVID-19 situation. By considering
this scenario, we have launched a new
face and mask-based touch-less
attendance device, which is able to
mark attendance with a mask as well.
“We have facilitated for clients many
touch-less safety products, which are
helpful to avoid touchpoints at their
workplace and protected them by new
touchless offerings,” says Dhananjay
Sonawane.
DAccess recommends people to take
the new Advance Face and Mask
Based Attendance System. The
company is focusing more on it to
avoid contactless access and
attendance. It has an Advance
Processor, which has the ability of fast
face recognition and multiuser face
detection facility.
Aiming to be the Best
DAccess is continuously focused on
innovation, reliability, integrity, and
industry demand as per the market
aspect. It provides customized,
innovative solutions through its
extensive complement of high-quality
products and services. DAccess will
enable its clients to run their operations
with minimal efforts and concern for
their safety and security.
As of now, many industries replaced
traditional biometric-based attendance
systems with new Face Based systems.
In the future, most enterprises will be
focusing on the same. Therefore, the
conventional ways of biometric-based
attendance may see a downfall.

28. Radium Box
With the rising cyber-attacks and theft of critical
data, the demand for global biometric security
solutions is projected to increase at a substantial
pace. Information security has become a crucial part of
every organization's operational interests.
Investment in security systems is highly important to
organizations across diverse sectors, in which safety
continues to be the major issue. Some of the major
customers of this system include the defence, law
enforcement, and government agencies. In addition, the
increasing necessity to enhance national security has paved
the growth of these systems worldwide.
The biometric service sector can leverage the integration of
diverse biometric types as best appropriate measures to the
specific business demands and risk levels, in addition to
linking disparate information about identity across the
company. Radium Box started its quest to promote the
knowledge on the usage of biometrics and digital signatures
along with benefits of employing them as a security of their
identity.
Founder Ravi S Kumar of Radium Box manages the
company's operations. Radium Box believes in achieving
excellence through its customer satisfaction. Besides
business, it tries to provide a unique solution, which is
tailored and meets every part of the customer requirement.
Illustrating Radium Box
Founded in 2015 by Ravi S Kumar, Radium Box aims to
remove fixed costs and reduce operational overheads with
user biometrics common usage and Aadhaar based solution.
It provides fingerprint-based and facial recognition
solutions for better safety. Radium Box aims to become a
key supporter of biometrics and digital signatures as an
identity management solution for those who are not aware
of it after the beginning of the Aadhaar era.
In accordance with the government's zero-tolerance for
fraud, routine access transactions are to be improved and
enhanced to improve safety and security while ensuring
convenience and efficiency.
Technical support is provided continuously for error
resolutions so that even semi-skilled users understand how
to use biometrics.
Exemplifying Expertise
Ravi manages the full resources of the company for
optimum use, as well as tries to add multiple verticals to the
company to increase the source of revenue. He is also
involved in funding and employee welfare.
Due to the effort of Ravi, Radium Box devices have been
awarded the certificates from UIDAI, Government of India,
for use in Aadhar Enrolments. Ravi is from a medical
background and runs a pharma company too. In addition,
Ravi launched the Radium Box Foundation (CSR) under
the Delhi government license, which runs several online
social projects, like the India Online Award, Share the
Treasure, and NeuroMantra.
Diversity in Biometrics
The company understands that there is a huge possibility of
identity management after the implementation of UID
Aadhaar to minimize the challenges of fake identity. Also, it
understands that there will be more and more usage of
internet based financial services. During this, the security
may be compromised from both ends, i.e., identity theft as
well as a failure of document encryption.

30. The team at Radium Box understands that lack of proper
knowledge regarding the new technology will boost the
passion regarding the exploration of new verticals of
revenue generation.
Organized Offerings
Radium Box began with a clear goal to educate clients on
the growing importance of Aadhaar and digital signature for
their identity and access management with consistent
branding.
Radium Box has developed a support system that considers
the variety of India, its multilingual culture, and its
inadequate computer skills. The organization offers year-
round training and support through social media platforms,
calls, remote desks, mobile applications, and so on for both
residents and small businesspeople.
First of all, Radium Box offers them the appropriate
biometric brand or USB PKI Tokens. Then, if customers are
unable to pay at once, it offers them EMI options. Finally,
with a readily accessible support crew, it assists them all
year round in their language.
In addition, Radium Box also supplies the Unit Trust of
India with the free distribution of PAN and DSC Centres –
allowing its customers to start their business with zero
investment – since it neither charges nor requests deposits
in advance. In addition, the firm produces STQL Certified
Biometric Devices of all kinds intended for Aadhar
registration and authentication. In one spot, it offers all
types of biometric and digital signature services.
Multiple Challenges
There were multiple challenges as this field was very new
for India and was a risky venture to choose as there were
very few samples available to learn its marketing. Also,
Ravi believes the biggest challenge Radium Box as a
company faced was in hiring the right talent in the very
beginning. Now the current challenge is to bring in
investors so that its services can become more reachable.
Striving through the Pandemic
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Radium Box is
confronted with issues connected to prompt delivery. Since
many courier firms did not work, delivery of the
merchandise to clients was problematic in time. The
company had registrations/contracts with various courier
providers to tackle these difficulties. Before any shipping,
the shipment possibilities were checked online from a
single portal, and the products were dispatched accordingly.
The location was delivered as fast as possible.
In addition, remote work posed many challenges for the
company. However, even before the pandemic, few of its
team members worked from home; radium Box easily
accepted to remain relevant and competitive in changes.
There were many roles and obligations for all employees at
home, and the firm guaranteed that the team members were
trained with minimal resources to provide the essential
expertise. In addition, the Radium Box team was able to
keep up with advancements in the digital industry, such as
Zoom or Google meetings.
Advice to Follow
"I advise that entrepreneurs must be persistent (in all
aspects of their life) and enjoy the journey putting all their
passion into their innovations or whatever they are doing.
Results will follow," says Ravi.
"As practical advice, I have always been a big fan of self-
taught learning. It was the vast internet that prepared me for
this challenge, in my case at least. I also believe in another
powerful concept, never stop learning, and always remain
curious - you can learn from everybody. You should invest
in yourself and your education, especially from the main
references in every field," adds Ravi.
Thinking Ahead
Radium Box intends to introduce eSigning software with
Aadhar OTP authentication software shortly, which may be
used easily by ordinary individuals to sign documents like
an affidavit and wills. In addition, these tools might be
valuable for legal documentation certification. The
company seeks to remove false documents and to legalize
the will and other documents.
Industry know-how
During the forecasts, the market growth is predicted to be
mainly driven by significant reasons. Reasons such as
expansion in the e-passport program, backed by the
government, and extensive usage of criminal identification.
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 is also a growing push
for the biometric services sector without contact.

32. HOW ARE
ENSURING CUSTOMER SAFETY?
n today's digital world, where a consumer's daily
Iroutine is becoming an online map, where clients are
more and more vulnerable to getting cheated, conned
or scammed, customer safety and security is of paramount
importance for most businesses, public/private institutions
and service providers.
Many of the companies and organisations are ready to
invest a substantial part of their budget for the cause. Many
such entities have already deployed a variety of security
measures and safety mechanisms into their system.
One such accurate, trusted, reliable, secure and safe
mechanism is Biometrics. The word is a combination of
two distinct words and concepts; Biology, which refers to
Humans, and Metric, meaning measurement.
Thus, the word Biometric means Measurement of Human
Biology or physiology with an automated system. But it
measures more than biology. It also measures a person's
behavioural traits/characteristics to provide better
identification and verification. Now, let's examine how
biometric services are ensuring customer safety across
different sectors.
Automotive Sector: Biometric Gadgets like
iris/retina/fingerprint scanners might become the standard
security feature that will not only lock/unlock and starts a
vehicle but will also probably operate it in the future.
There are already ongoing developments for biometric
security equipped vehicles, using a multi-factor
authentication prototype that, not only uses facial
recognition in real-time but also asks for additional
authentication via smartphone, allowing the drivers to make
the entry/exit into their vehicles without key fobs. Further,
to prevent driver fatigue and distraction, many automakers
are using biometric technologies like facial recognition, eye
tracking, etc.
Banking and Financial: As banking and financial services
become digital, fin-techs and banks are incorporating
stricter checking protocols to reduce fraud, irregularities,
forgeries and increasing transactional security to enhance
customer safety and service experience.
As a result, biometric tech has become a foundational
paradigm of online financial portals for access/payment
cards, ATMs, multi-transactional kiosks, and a strategic
element of financial service security platforms. Customer
preference is further driving the trend.
Some banks are using voice authentication to check and
verify customers' identities. Some others are allowing facial
recognition for accessing mobile banking apps. For
advanced security, some banks are even using finger vein
reader tech instead of passwords or PINs.
Using biometrics, all types of payment card frauds can be
reduced.
Healthcare Sector: Biometric data could allow faster
patient identification and tracking in emergency situations,
preventing patient fraud and mistaken prescriptions,
protecting patient privacy, their health information from
unauthorised access.
OCTOBER 2021 | 30 | www.insightssuccess.in
33. Get Secured
Food and Beverages Industry: Today, F&B suppliers have
a global presence with staff running into thousands. In such
a scenario, they could use biometric technology to monitor
remotely all the employee-related allowances and
permissions in accordance with levels, minimizing the
cross-contamination risks, as different staff members can be
permitted to access different levels, prohibiting certain
production lines to certain employees. It could also prevent
unauthorised entry/exit.
Facial recognition technology is being used by some world-
renowned F&B chains to enhance the walk-in customer
experience.
Hospitality Industry: Hospitality Industry always wants to
give their customer a world-class experience through
personalised catering and tailor-made services. Thus, they
are using Biometric techs such as facial recognition for
check-ins, check-outs, favourite rooms, foods, preferred
tastes, and other customer priorities.
Retail Sector: For retailers, biometrics is proving to be a
go-to-technology for in-house theft reduction, in-store
advertisement, and on-site promotional targeting,
billing/payment getaways. For e.g., security cameras can be
used not only to detect shoplifters and frauds but also to
track shoppers' movements, shopping engagement, ads
effectiveness, brand loyalty, and so on.
Border Control: Although, fingerprint scanners are the
favourite of Border Custom Officials, due to their high false
acceptance/rejection ratio, many countries including the
US, Canada, UK, and Thailand, are looking for iris/retina
and facial recognition as viable alternatives.
With their unobtrusive nature, the self-serving Auto Kiosks
at airport terminals are also being used as database (of
fingerprint, iris/retina, facial scans) collection points by
defence departments, to identify cross-border criminals and
terrorists. Also, biometrics as an identification tool could be
the best replacement for lost/misplaced/falsified passports.
Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA): For LEAs biometrics
is an old ally. Fingerprints and DNA matching are the two
most widely used, and most reliable and popular techniques
to date. Portable devices which can scan suspects
fingerprints quickly and then instantly compare them to
AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) are
Law Enforcement officers' best buddies. Today, facial
scanning and surveillance system is used city-wide, in
suspects, criminal, victim, witness identification, tracking
and tracing. From large-scale facial recognition of urban
masses to lie-detecting (neuro-biometric) of hardened
criminals/terrorists, biometric is LEAs' trusted friend.
Education: Using both biometrics and AI, today's schools
and universities are tightening their security to ensure
student/staff safety. The combo is also being used for
admissions, enrolment, granting access/permission,
checking for cheating in examinations, and offering
performance reports and certificates and conducting online
tests and giving appropriate results.
If the proposed metaverse becomes a reality, we will soon
see a future where biometric services would have been
evolved to unprecedented levels, where today's modernities
like swiping credit cards, punching passwords, even
pressing fingers on scanners or holding eyes/faces/palms to
the sensors will look like outdated concepts. Even if many
of us will be a little slow in embracing biometrics
technology, it will embrace the future or rather is already
embracing the future whole-heartedly.
So, if you don't want your customers to get scammed, get
secure and soon.

34. Simplifying Access Control Systems Dynamically
The biometric space is evolving
speedily. The advent of the
pandemic has also given it a
push because of contact-free security
solutions. The demand for sensor-
based tech-savvy biometric security
solutions is expanding with each
passing day. The use of a cloud-based
control platform, which allows
smartphone, or access cards to unlock
doors, is heavily in demand.
One company that counts in giving ace
level biometric services is Spintly. The
company provides biometric
verification solutions using two-factor
authentication on the user’s
smartphone.
Rohin Parkar, Co-founder and CEO
of Spintly, sheds some light on how the
firm works and how it is finding
innovative solutions to add up to the
biometric service space. Following are
the highlights of the interview.
Please describe us about Spintly in
detail.
Spintly is a cloud-based access control
platform that allows users to unlock
doors with smartphones, wearable
devices, or access cards. The current
access control systems in the market
use primitive technology, which was
developed decades ago. Existing
systems require a massive amount of
wiring and a large number of
controllers. Almost 70% of the cost of
access control systems goes into
wiring, controllers, and labor.
We have developed the world’s first
fully wireless access control system,
allowing access control readers to
communicate with each other over a
wireless mesh technology. Hence, it
eliminates the need for wiring and
bulky controllers. This saves the cost in
terms of hardware and saves a
tremendous amount of time and effort,
which goes into laying down the cables
and wires. Being a cloud-based system
allows easy integration with other
software, which your company may be
using.
What made you venture into the
field of biometric services?
The idea for Spintly was born in a
building management room full of door
controllers, fire alarm panels, lighting
control panels, and many wires to
connect all systems. The hardware was
occupying an entire room in the
building, and cables ran all across the
building floors.
I, along with Malcolm D’souza,
conceptualized a controller-less and
fully wireless building automation
platform. It would allow all devices
like access control readers, smoke
detectors, lights, etc., to communicate
over a mesh network allowing these
devices to make their own decisions.
Thus, Spintly was developed as a
unified wireless platform for building
automation. We decided to focus on the
physical security aspect of the
buildings and made a complete end-to-
end solution for access control.
What kind of offerings does Spintly
provide to its clients?
We make hardware devices like
wireless smart locks, readers, and edge
gateways that communicate with the
Spintly cloud platforms. It brings
affordable access control to every door.
We also offer cloud-based software
modules for access control, time and
attendance, and contactless visitor
management.
What kind of challenges have you
faced while entering the biometric
services sector?
The biometric services sector is
crowded with manufacturers from
China and Korea, and other countries.
Selling hardware in an already
crowded market was a challenge.
Competing with these existing
products on price was not worth it. So,
we decided to focus on software and

35. technology. We used our key
differentiators, wireless mesh
technology and cloud software, to enter
the biometric access control space.
How was Spintly affected in these
pandemic times, and what were the
steps you took to curb the damages
while helping your clients and
maintaining the safety of your
employees?
One of the significant challenges we
faced when COVID-19 struck India
was when our business got adversely
affected due to the lockdown. We
quickly were able to change our
messaging to a contact-less system and
attract customer attention. But for 2-3
months, going without revenues was a
difficult phase in the business.
Every start-up faces challenges of
having a good cash flow so it can stay
afloat towards becoming profitable.
One of the other challenges we faced
was the lack of a manufacturing
ecosystem due to prolonged
dependency on China. So, we are
building an infrastructure and
capability ground-up that will enable
us to deliver our products in the future.
What would you like to advise the
young generation of entrepreneurs
and enthusiasts who want to venture
into the field of biometric services?
For any entrepreneurs trying to enter
into the biometric field or any other
business, it is essential that they
identify the crucial problem in the
industry that can be effectively solved.
We should also focus on having a key
differentiator either in technology,
software, or business model. And in
general, every entrepreneur should
have big dreams and a passion for
learning and solving problems.
Where do you envision Spintly in the
long run, and what are your future
goals? How do you plan to embrace
the changes happening in your
industry?
Our vision is to build a world more
intelligent and more straightforward by
providing a frictionless access control
experience to users. We want to make
the building smarter with our fully
wireless mesh platform for intelligent
building devices.
