Biometrics Advancement in South America: Uncovering How Biometric Technology Enhanced Various Facets of Life According to BioCon Brazil
Biometric technology, once a futuristic concept, is now making a significant impact in multiple industries. This was evident at BioCon Brazil, the first biometric conference to cross European borders, which attracted a larger-than-expected crowd over two days.
The conference showcased the practical uses of biometric technologies in various situations, including criminal identification in the United States, facilitating roll call in schools, and preventing fraud in football stadiums.
In the education sector, biometric technology is streamlining the roll call process. Over 1,600 schools in Brazil have adopted biometrics, replacing the traditional method and saving approximately 10 minutes per lesson. This efficiency gain is particularly beneficial, considering the numerous lessons a school day comprises.
In high-security environments, such as the financial sector, biometrics are being used for identity verification. This measure has significantly reduced fraud and ticket scalping at stadiums practically to zero. The use of biometrics in stadiums has also improved the speed of entry, increasing the entry rate from 7 people per minute to 18 per minute.
Biometrics are also playing a crucial role in police work and investigations. Professor Ramón Santos Fernández, an expert in fingerprinting from the federal police, gave the opening speech at BioCon Brazil. He stated that biometrics have transformed police work, enabling the police to solve many more cases and faster than ever.
One of the most interesting presentations was about contactless fingerprinting by the Albany, New York, police for person identification from anywhere. This technology is expected to revolutionise policing, making it more efficient and effective.
High-performance biometrics have applications beyond police work. Reliable legal signatures can now be achieved through the use of biometrics, offering a secure and convenient alternative to traditional methods.
Plans are underway to organize similar biometric conferences for partners in other continents, further showcasing the versatility and potential of biometric technology. For those interested in learning more about the presentations from BioCon Brazil, including successful use cases, they can be found at bioconbrasil.com/presentations.
However, specific information about which companies or organizations participated in the BioCon Brazil conference and gave presentations on the use of high-quality biometrics in sectors like finance and law is not publicly available at this time.
In conclusion, Biocon Brazil demonstrated the wide-ranging benefits of biometric technology, from improving the efficiency of entry at stadiums to transforming police work and investigation. As biometric technology continues to evolve, it's clear that its impact will only grow in the future.
