How It works ?

Our automated border control (ABC) solutions integrate facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and e-passport reading within intelligent kiosks and e-gate configurations. The technology verifies travelers against passport chips, compares biometric samples against enrollment databases, and checks against watchlists—all without manual officer intervention for qualifying passengers.

Immigration authorities worldwide deploy these systems to manage growing traveler volumes, redirect human resources to risk-focused activities, and improve legitimate traveler experiences. The approach strengthens borders while facilitating trade and tourism through efficient processing.

Key Capabilities

Multi-Modal Biometric Verification

Advanced sensor arrays capture facial geometry, fingerprints, and optional iris patterns. The systems compare live biometric samples against e-passport chip data and national identity databases. Multi-factor verification achieves accuracy exceeding manual document checks while preventing impersonation attempts.

Passport Chip Reading

RFID readers access contactless chips in electronic passports, retrieving digitally signed biographical data and facial images. Cryptographic verification against issuing country certificates confirms document authenticity. The technology supports BAC, EAC, and PACE chip protection standards.

Document Fraud Detection

Multi-spectral imaging examines passport pages under visible, UV, and infrared light, revealing security features and detecting alterations. Machine-readable zone parsing extracts printed data for comparison against chip contents. Anomaly detection algorithms identify known forgery patterns.

Watchlist Screening

Real-time database connections check travelers against immigration watchlists, criminal databases, and security alerts. The systems identify persons of interest, overstayed visas, and individuals subject to travel restrictions. Customizable risk rules determine when to refer travelers for secondary inspection.

E-Gate Integration

Automated gates control physical access based on verification results. Anti-tailgating sensors prevent multiple persons using single authorization. Directional indicators guide passengers while intercom systems enable officer communication when needed.

Biographic Data Capture

Automated extraction of passport information including name, nationality, document number, dates of birth and expiry. Cross-referencing with advance passenger information and carrier manifests validates travel authorization.

Biometric Kiosk for Border Control

Airport Immigration

International airports deploy ABC kiosks and e-gates for both arrivals and departures processing. The systems handle primary inspection for citizens, residents, and registered travelers. Immigration officers monitor operations and handle secondary referrals, exceptions, and risk cases

Seaport Cruise Terminals

Cruise passenger processing benefits from automated immigration handling high-volume embarkation and disembarkation. The systems process thousands of passengers during port calls without creating bottlenecks that delay ship operations.

Land Border Crossings

Vehicle and pedestrian crossings use ABC kiosks to expedite trusted traveler processing. Enrolled programs enable frequent crossers to use automated lanes, reducing congestion and wait times. Officers focus on risk-based inspections while routine clearances proceed autonomously.

Special Processing Lanes

Dedicated lanes for crew members, diplomatic personnel, and government officials provide expedited clearance with appropriate security verification. The systems apply differentiated processing rules based on traveler categories.

Benefits for Immigration Authorities

Enhanced Border Security: Multi-layer biometric and document checks deliver consistent, fatigue-free, and automated threat screening.

Operational Efficiency: Automation enables higher traveler throughput with fewer officers and no peak-time staffing strain.

Improved Traveler Experience: Faster, congestion-free processing ensures consistent and premium-quality service.

Data Intelligence: Unified biometric and travel data enables advanced analytics and smarter risk assessment.

Cost Reduction: Higher throughput, lower manpower dependence, and energy-efficient infrastructure reduce long-term costs.
