Access Control Technology of Choice by Schiphol Airport
Schiphol Airport was one of the first airports to use iris recognition. Leadership had the foresight to invest in this technology to streamline operations and provide ROI. The goal was to secure restricted areas within the airport environment, ensure efficient airport operations, and comply will all regulations in the most cost effective way possible. Leadership also looked to this new method as a solution to improve the experience of security by the end-user as well. In the end, iris recognition was selected as the access control biometric modality of choice because it offers accurate, reliable, quick and easy identification and authentication.
Schiphol’s workforce include 70,000+ airport workers employed by more than five hundred companies. At Schiphol, the iris-based access control system:
- Prevents transferability of access cards and PINS
- Reduces errors associated with human identification
- Process automates security functions
- Increase user convenience
Additionally, Schiphol offers a premium service called Privium. Enrolled members use iris recognition to move through airport security lines and board their flights. Members do not present passports, tickets or other travel documents. They simply look into an iris scanner and are quickly and accurately identified.
