M2Sys Recognised by Frost & Sullivan for its Breakthrough Hybrid Biometric Platform

M2Sys has been awarded the 2011 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for developing the breakthrough Hybrid Biometric Platform that can recognise palm vein, finger vein, iris and fingerprint through a single server.

Today, the biometric recognition field lacks a single system which can be scaled up according to customers’ needs without having the limitations of using one biometric device for one biometric modality alone.

The system from M2Sys has four biometric engines which are supported by a single software installation. The Hybrid Biometric Platform uses the Bio-Plugin middleware which is a patent-pending technology. This middleware enables software engineers to integrate the platform with any kind of biometric modality that they need. The total cost of owning a collective recognition system such as this is relatively much cheaper than each individual option that is now available in the market. The integration of the system ensures 100% reading rates even under circumstances that have a negative impact on certain forms of biometrics. The system is also available in Webserver and Appserver versions and these can be integrated into Web-based or Windows based software. The Hybrid Biometric Platform uses the Microsoft operating system for applications that are Windows based and Web based thus enabling users to switch between each biometric engine smoothly.

The market for biometrics is expected to increase by four times by the year 2020 and Frost & Sullivan presents this award every year to companies which develop innovative products through breakthrough technologies.
