AOptix Technologies has integrated its iris recognition system into 34 automated e-Gates at the Gatwick Airport South Terminal.
The decision to bring in AOptix and its iris systems, called InSight VM, was identity management technology developer and integrator Human recognition Systems (HRS), who had developed and implemented the gates already in place at the airport running on their MFlow Track solution.
The resulting partnership of technology finds travelers at Gatwick using their iris, which the InSight VM matches at a distance as opposed to right up next to the scanner, to match their identity to their boarding pass at automated gates utilizing MFlow Track.
Security officials at Gatwick have reported that travelers are already spending an average of five minutes less in security lines than they had before the technology and other physical upgrades.
