We sit down with Philippe Niederhauser from Touchless Biometric Systems to discuss the evolution of biometrics, its role in secure, convenient access control, and the company’s latest innovations.

ATMs remain a staple of the high street. And as long as they do, they will be the inevitable target of attacks. Smarter Technologies, however, says it is now leaving criminals with nowhere to hide.

With the outbreak of COVID-19, good hygiene practice has become more important than ever before. Fireco has released its newest innovation, Germgard, a smart sanitiser combined with digital signage. Germgard monitors people passing through your chosen doorways. A PIR sensor will detect someone approaching and a screen will show your personalised message.

It can be tailored to suit individual business needs, helping as a building management tool. Some examples of potential messaging include instructing users to follow your one-way system or putting on a mask before entering. Germgard can be integrated with access control, automatic doors and electronic locks, which can make the use of hand sanitiser a requirement for entry.
