Passenger identification at different touchpoints
The use of biometric technology at airports is becoming more and more popular. Airports and airlines are constantly looking for ways to make the journey more convenient for passengers while maintaining their strict security standards. Advances in biometric technology make this possible. Materna is a system integrator which assimilates different types of biometrics solutions at the passenger touchpoints. Together with established hardware partners, we integrate solutions such as face recognition, fingerprint and iris identification according to our customers’ requirements.

Materna’s leading solution “Biometrics on the move”
Automatically activated identification
Materna’s technology provides secure biometric enrolment where trusted documents like passports are used to verify and identify passengers comparing them to captured images. Once this secure enrolment has taken place, passengers may pass other touchpoints without having to present their documents again to prove their identity.
With the Materna solution “Biometrics on the move”, passenger face recognition is activated automatically as soon as the passenger enters a defined area. The passenger only has to walk through pre-security, the lounge or self-boarding gate, or receive a bag tag at a self bag drop kiosk. The passenger does not have to actively interact with the biometric identification system and there is no need for the passenger to stop and wait while biometric data is captured for it to work.
This end-to-end-solution helps to minimize passenger queues at key touchpoints. It fills the gap between increasing security requirements for passenger identity verification and smooth passenger processing throughout the passenger journey – from kerbside to boarding.
The Materna IPS common biometric solution is based on biometric solutions from MODI (e.g. MODI FaceBar or MODI FaceScreen), Materna CUSS biometric enrolment and identification applications, and passenger touchpoint applications for check-in, bag drop, secured access and self-boarding.
