As part of the findBIOMETRICS annual Year in Review survey, we don’t only ask experts to participate in our biometrics industry polls, we also provide everyone participating a chance to personally divulge their opinions on the year that was and preview what’s to come over the next twelve months.
Representing Cognitec Systems in our 2013 Year in Review was the company’s marketing manager Elke Oberg. He gave us some insight into the year that gained them recognition from Frost & Sullivan in the form of a 2013 Best Practices award for Customer Value Leadership.
findBIOMETRICS: Was 2013 a good year for Cogntitec Systems? What were some of the highlights?
Elke Oberg: In response to large-scale pilot projects in the retail and airport space, Cognitec has further advanced the capabilities of the video screening and analytics product FaceVACS-VideoScan. On the other hand, a new product edition now addresses entry-level, anonymous face recognition applications such as intelligent signage and people counting. In August 2013, the company announced its participation in the EasyPASS project that will supply eGates to passport control areas at all major German airports, following a contract award by the German Border Police. All EasyPASS gates will be equipped with FaceVACS-Entry, a new product that combines smart hardware for image acquisition with market-leading software for verification processes. Cognitec is expecting record revenues for 2013.
findBIOMETRICS: What will 2014 hold for your company?
Elke Oberg: Cognitec is preparing the product release of FaceVACS-Entry. The technology is ready for integration into electronic gates (eGates) which provide travelers with electronic passports (ePassports) the option to pass through automatic passport checks. Development and market release of this product respond to the high demand for fast, accurate face recognition solutions at border control points.
