Upon entry to the Schengen area, via land, sea and air borders, Third Country Nationals (TCN) are required to take part in biometric enrolment. This means TCN register their fingerprints and facial imaging. This Entry/Exit System (EES) is a part of the European Parliament’s Smart Borders Initiative, which was designed to strengthen the EU’s borders.

Biometric data needs to be scanned alongside travel documents. This new system will inevitably be time-consuming and complicated to execute – unless you have a self-service system that executes finger print scanning, facial recognition technology and passport/document scanning, without the presence of a member of staff. An interactive kiosk solution will do just that.

imageHOLDERS modular architecture allows for multiple additional devices, inclusive of facial recognition cameras, passport scanners, barcode and QR scanners and fingerprint readers, to be integrated into a single kiosk terminal. An intuitive touchscreen guides the user through the steps, ensuring a quick and simple process.

A self-service solution frees staff’s time to concentrate on important duties, such as focusing on high-risk travellers, offering optimum security and safety for all.
