The Disclosure by BioCon Brazil Highlights the Enhancement of Everyday Life Across South America through the Increased Adoption of Biometrics Technology
The first-ever BioCon conference to be held beyond European borders, BioCon Brazil, has proven to be a resounding success, attracting a larger-than-expected crowd of partners and industry enthusiasts. Over two days, attendees were treated to a comprehensive exploration of the practical uses of biometric technology, with applications spanning from criminal identification in the US to streamlining roll calls in over 1,600 schools across Brazil.
One of the most intriguing demonstrations at the conference was the use of contactless fingerprint technology by the police department of Albany, NY, showcasing the potential of biometrics for on-the-go identification. This technology is not limited to the police sector; it is also being adopted in various industries such as the financial sector and football admissions in South America.
The financial sector is one of the high-security environments where biometrics are being employed, with the largest Brazilian integrator of biometric technology for identity verification remaining unnamed in search results. However, global giants like Glory Ltd., Aware, Inc., Cognitec Systems GmbH, and NEC Corporation are making significant strides in secure identity verification.
In the realm of sports, the new biometric system in Brazil has significantly reduced fraud and ticket resales to virtually zero. At one of the country's biggest football clubs, the speed of admission has increased from 7 people per minute to eighteen, thanks to biometrics.
The transformative impact of biometrics on police work and investigations was highlighted by the opening keynote speaker, Professor Ramon Santos Fernandez, a federal police fingerprint expert. According to Professor Santos Fernandez, biometrics have revolutionized police work, enabling the solution of many more cases and faster than ever before.
For those who missed the event, the presentations from BioCon Brazil can be watched online. The success of this conference has led to plans for similar events for partners on other continents, marking a significant step in the global adoption of biometric technology. As biometrics continue to take hold in South America at a rapid pace, it is clear that this is just the beginning of a biometric revolution.
