Iris biometric system improves passenger flow and enhances security at Gatwick airport
posted on 28/10/2011

Human Recognition Systems in partnership with AOptix Technologies Inc has developed MFlow Track , an advanced biometric ‘iris at distance’ technology designed to improve passenger flow and enhance security. The system is now in operation at Gatwick’s £45 million 19-lane security area in the South Terminal. This investment is part of the airport’s £1 billion development programme to modernise its facilities and improve the passenger experience. MFlow Track integrates Human Recognition Systems’ software with AOptix Technologies’ Insight VM iris recognition unit. Gatwick Airport has become the first airport in the world to incorporate MFlow Track. From a passenger perspective, this allows people to pass through security area quickly as the technology captures their unique iris patterns to accurately identify them in conjunction with another form of identification. There is no need for a stop and start security process making it much quicker and non-intrusive. A second biometric sy... [more]
