OTS - Materna IPS deploys Biometric Face Recognition at Tokyo Haneda Airport
2021. September 02. 10:00
Tokyo, Japan, 2 September, 2021 (APA/OTS) - Tokyo International
Airport (HANEDA), the 4th largest airport in the world, chose the
German SBD provider to equip their self-service installation with
the Materna IPS One ID journey.
Via 1:1 verification the passenger's scanned government issued
ID picture gets matched with the image captured at the kiosk. The
result can enroll into the airports Face Express system at the self
bag drop making it a unique cooperation of both systems. That way
Tokyo Haneda Airport ensures a streamlined passenger processing
while improving airport efficiency and security.
By offering passengers to identify themselves at the
self-service touchpoint, physical contact with airport staff and
therefore the risk of infection will be minimized. Contactless
technology has become an important way to maintain the strict
security standards during the pandemic.
Last year Materna IPS successfully installed a total of 104
self bag drop kiosks in Terminals 2 and 3 of the airport. These
kiosks have now been upgraded by the unique biometric
authentication process (Face Express) in cooperation with Collins
Aerospace.
Yuya Yamazaki, Technical Project Manager of TIAT, said: "On
behalf of TIAT including management level, we would like to express
our sincere appreciation to Materna IPS to release this program
before Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which is one of our
goals of this project."
With implementing this major project at Tokyo International
Airport (HANEDA), Materna IPS continues its market entry in Japan
and is expanding its international growth.
Upgrading the Haneda SBD installation with the biometric
journey does not only significantly increase the airport's
efficiency and security but also lets Materna IPS extend its
business activities in the Japanese market and so expand its
international growth.
