Precise Extends Biometric Portfolio to Include Palm Recognition

Precise Biometrics has expanded its portfolio of biometric solutions to include palm recognition. The company says its new technology will be made available as a software algorithm product, and that it will be integrated into its YOUNiQ Access and YOUNiQ Visit solutions for access control.

Precise’s palm solution is designed to be touchless and device agnostic, allowing it to be deployed through any device that has a camera. On that note, Precise Biometrics has partnered with Hand.ID on initial applications of its software.

In a statement, Precise described the latter as a US-based company developing “palm recognition readers.” Hand.ID’s website advertises non-contact “hand biometric products” that will be launched in the summer of this year.

“Being able to extend our product offering reflects our commitment to keep on pushing forward and offer the most secure and user-friendly authentication and identification methods to our customers,” said Precise Biometrics CEO Joakim Nydemark. “With palm recognition we will be able to address even more customers and use cases, which is in line with our ambition to accelerate our sales.”

Over the past decade, Precise Biometrics established itself as one of the most important players in the mobile biometrics revolution through its fingerprint recognition algorithm, which found its way into a great many smartphones as fingerprint sensors became increasingly prominent in mobile devices. Precise expanded into facial recognition in 2019, when it announced its YOUNiQ solution for face-based biometric access control.

In retrospect, the move was extremely fortuitous, given the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of the market appetite for fingerprint-scanning systems and other touch-based technologies.

Like Precise’s embrace of facial recognition, its adoption of palm recognition is expected to help the company to reach new market areas and attract more business. Precise expects important application areas to include visitor management and payments, in addition to physical access control.
