Biometric border control from DERMALOG in Thailand (FOTO)

Bangkok/Hamburg (ots) - Thailand is one of the most popular travel destinations
in the world. Millions of people are coming to the Southeast Asian country every
year. To make Thailand's borders more secure and more efficient, DERMALOG from
Germany has supplied the Thai Immigration Bureau with a new biometric system.

Beautiful beaches, impressive temples and tropical landscapes make Thailand a
vacation paradise. Millions of people travel to the Southeast Asian country
every year to spend their holidays. The numerous entries and exits of people
from all over the world are challenging the Thai Immigration Bureau (IB). This
is why the IB has chosen the latest innovative technology from DERMALOG.
Passport, fingerprints and face of each traveler are captured upon arrival and
departure. The new border control system identifies a person by their biometric
data to prevent any fraud attempts and identity theft.

The core of DERMALOG's solution is a so-called Automated Biometric
Identification System (ABIS). It matches not only fingerprints but also face and
optional iris, which makes the DERMALOG ABIS most accurate and reliable. The new
system in Thailand takes only 0.1 seconds to identify a person through the
entire database by fingerprint and face. At present, it is the world's fastest
multi-biometric systems for so-called one-to-many matching.

The new biometric border control system has been installed at 65 border
crossings throughout Thailand, which are the 16 international airports and 49
land borders and seaports. A total of 1,020 biometric counters for entry and
exit are now in operation nationwide. Since its launch in May 2019, the DERMALOG
solution has already checked about 49 million travelers. Among them, the Thai
Immigration Bureau identified more than 4,300 blacklisted persons and about
127,000 people who had violated visa regulations. In addition, 3,166 persons had
been arrested for fraud attempts, detected by the biometric system. "We are very
satisfied with the new Dermalog biometric border control system, as it has
increased the rate of catching criminals at our borders tremendously," says
Immigration Bureau chief Sompong Chingduang.

DERMALOG's innovative biometric systems have improved border security in 16
countries already. In total, more than 240 government agencies in 90 countries
are using this latest biometric technology from Germany.
