Controlware Communications Systems

The Controlware PalmScan is a biometric authentication system that utilizes the latest scientific technology to analyze vein patterns in the palm of your hand. Secure, fast and easy to use PalmScan is ideal for a variety of access control applications including identity verification for access to restricted areas or devices.

PalmScan works by capturing vein patterns with near infrared rays. The vein pattern is then verified against a preregistered pattern to authenticate the individual. Since vein structure is unaffected by age, fitness, weight etc. attempts to forge an identity are extremely difficult, thereby enabling a higher level of security than other access technologies including finger print and iris scanners. Additionally, the PalmScan sensor only recognizes the vein pattern if the deoxidized hemoglobin is actively flowing within the individual’s veins.
