Since 2018, the German Design Council has been presenting the German Innovation Award and honoring cross-sector products and solutions that differ from previous solutions primarily in their clear user focus and noticeable added value. The INTUS 1600PS-II manual vein recognition system is an access terminal that is especially optimized for customer benefit: Its fast and contactless operation makes it a pleasant application. In times of strict protection requirements, the added value lies in its particularly hygienic use, which combines high security with ergonomics and health protection.
INTUS 1600PS-II biometric access terminal combines security and convenience.
PCS Systemtechnik receives the German Innovation Award 2020 for the exceptional combination of high-security access control with convenient application convenience for the INTUS 1600PS-II handheld vein recognition system. The exceptional access terminal is suitable for protecting particularly sensitive company areas such as data centers or research laboratories. With the currently awarded version, the user benefits have increased even more: The current generation works significantly faster and even detects palms that are placed in front of the sensor only briefly or with shaky movements. The detection process is already completed with a short movement. Suitable locations for the access terminal are easy to find: even direct sunlight of up to 80,000 lux does not impair the function. Due to its suitability as an access control system for high-security areas, PCS places great importance on the safety of all system components: The templates for identification matching are encrypted while still in the sensor and routed into the protected area via secure lines. Manipulation of the terminal is detected by the sabotage contact. Multi-factor authentication against PIN or card further increases security. The process of hand vein recognition is carried out by optical scanning of the inner surface of the hand vein, which is completely contactless and hygienic.
The INTUS 1600PS-II biometric access reader is also ideally suited for high-security applications in the long term, taking into account pandemic prevention. You can find out more about hand vein recognition technology at www.pcs.com/INTUS1600PS.
