Lumidigm has partnered with biometric reader manufacturer and port solution provider Innometriks. Responding to Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) reader requirements, Innometriks has integrated Lumidigm Venus fingerprint sensors into its TWIC readers.
The Innometriks reader combines the Lumidigm Venus fingerprint sensor along with an HID smart card reader, a large 3.5-inch color LCD, and a vandal-proof keypad to provide an outdoor fingerprint biometric reader that works in all weather conditions. Administered by the Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard, the TWIC program will require port personnel and additional transportation workers to use a tamper-resistant biometric credential to gain authorized access to secured outdoor areas.
