NEC NeoFace Express to enter Southeast Asia via Singapore

The NEC NeoFace Express will make its first appearance in Southeast Asia at Future Travel Experience Asia 2017, where NEC Asia Pacific, together with NEC Corporation, will be exhibiting an integrated suite of biometrics and advanced video analytics tools that seek to deliver a frictionless passenger experience.

According to NEC, the escalation of terror threats has redefined security at airports, resulting in massive waiting times for passengers due to additional layers of checking and screening. NEC will be presenting its Smart, Secure and Seamless Travel concept at the event featuring solutions that improve airport security and operational efficiency from check-in to arrival.

NeoFace Express is a compact device that delivers rapid-access biometric and credential scanning for self-verification and boarding. In June 2017, NEC announced that NeoFace Express had been used in a pilot project with the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on selected Dulles International Airport (IAD) flights in Washington, DC, to Dubai in the UAE at a gate operated by Emirates Airlines. Passengers stepped up to a NeoFace Express device which captured their photos for matching. At Universal Studios Japan, NeoFace Express resulted in a 30% reduction in annual pass operations. 

Other highlights at the NEC booth include: 

· NeoFace Watch: Face recognition software for real-time video surveillance, offline video face search and high volume photo face search based on the world’s most accurate facial recognition technology*

· Multi-modal Biometric System: a 3-in-1 automatic biometrics identity livescan system for face, fingerprint and iris scanning

· Liveness Detection: Real-time facial recognition technology which can determine if an image is a fake human face using a web camera

An access control solution for airport lounges and an integrated video analytics security system to detect persons-of-interest and abandoned objects will also be on show.
