New T&A terminal features revolutionary AI technology

Issue 7 2023 News & Events, Access Control & Identity Management, AI & Data Analytics

Suprema has pioneered fingerprint recognition technology based on deep learning for the first time. The cutting-edge AI algorithm, based on deep learning, is embedded in BioStation 2a. This innovation was achieved through Suprema’s expertise in creating a lightweight AI engine optimised for edge devices. BioStation 2a is a high-performance edge device that has adopted an AI processor, NPU (Neural Processing Unit), optimised for deep learning, delivering highly accurate and fast fingerprint recognition.

Through deep learning, the ability to extract templates from low-quality fingerprints, such as those that are distorted, has significantly improved accuracy by 30%. Additionally, BioStation 2a has improved fingerprint recognition speed with a 1,5 GHz Quad CPU (processor) by supporting up to 50 000 users in 1:1 matching and 100 000 users in 1:N matching.

BioStation 2a offers a range of credential options, including fingerprint, RFID, and mobile access (BLE/NFC), simultaneously enhancing user experience and security. It seamlessly fits into diverse outdoor and indoor environments, such as small offices or large enterprise buildings. An extended USB host helps customers to add new features easily. Furthermore, its IP65 rating and operating temperature range from -20°C to 60°C guarantee durability even in the most rugged conditions.

“We are excited to unveil BioStation 2a to the market. This innovative solution represents the future of fingerprint recognition technology and empowers our customers to feel the power of AI within their fingers.” said Suprema Inc. CEO Hanchul Kim, “With BioStation 2a, Suprema will enhance its position in the market as the global leader in AI-based biometric solutions, setting new standards in the security industry.”
