ASSA ABLOY is the largest dog 'chipper' in the world!

Well, strictly speaking, we provide the microchips and the vet does the rest…

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag can be incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves.

The bottom line is that RFID is now being used for security, safety, error prevention, anticounterfeiting, cost reduction, increasing sales, entertainment, crime prevention, customer convenience and art and there is more to come. It is rather as if we had just invented the wheel… or paper.

Vascular scanning

Worried by the big brother overtones of finger print scanning the intrusion of iris scanning or the ability to breach facial scanning then we have a secure and viable alternative.

Vascular scanning uses passive infrared technology to capture an individual’s unique vascular pattern from below the surface of the skin on the back of the hand. This simple to use and highly accurate solution allows for a unique personal template to be captured, encrypted and stored in a variety of ways. The individual subsequently presents the same hand to the scanner, the live vascular pattern is matched to the stored template and the individual is identified with the option of storing the encrypted unique personal template on a media such as a smart card.

This can be used in conjunction with a PIN number or proximity card and can integrate with existing legacy systems and future TCP/IP based entry management, time and attendance and credential verification systems.

The vascular scanner can perform a central role in managing buildings which are opened up to the public either during the course of the day or out of normal hours. An example of this maybe a school which is become an inclusive part of the local community where gyms, IT suites, and libraries can be opened up to the public after the normal school day or weekends yet maintain security during the school day.
