Enhancement of Daily Life Through the Increase of Biometric Technology Across South America, as Displayed by BioCon Brazil
Biometric technology, such as that used by Georgia Tech, is rapidly gaining traction in South America, with Brazil leading the charge. The innovative system has been successfully deployed in schools and stadiums, revolutionising daily operations and enhancing security.
The recent BioCon Brazil conference, held in the heart of the continent, showcased the practical applications of biometric technology in various scenarios. Professor Ramon Santos Fernandez, a renowned federal police fingerprint expert, delivered the opening keynote, highlighting the transformative impact of biometrics on police work and investigations.
One of the most notable implementations of biometric technology can be seen in stadiums. The new system has virtually eliminated fraud and ticket resales, ensuring fair access for fans. In a major football club's stadium in Brazil, admission speed has increased from 7 people per minute to a staggering 18 people per minute, significantly reducing wait times.
The biometric system also benefits the educational sector. Over 1,600 schools in Brazil have adopted the technology, replacing traditional roll calls and saving approximately 10 minutes per lesson for teachers.
BioCon Brazil also shed light on the use of biometrics in the financial sector and legal signature validation. Companies like NEC, IDEMIA, and Gemalto were presented as key examples, demonstrating how users can verify their identity in high-security environments such as the financial sector or legal signing.
The conference attracted a larger-than-expected number of visitors over two days, signifying a growing interest in biometric technology. BioCon is planning to host similar conferences for partners on other continents, aiming to spread the benefits of high-performance biometrics beyond the criminal justice system.
Interestingly, the US police department of Albany, NY, is also leveraging contactless fingerprints for on-the-go identification. This innovative use of biometrics is enabling the police to solve cases faster, according to Professor Santos Fernandez.
In summary, biometric technology is making a significant impact in South America, particularly in Brazil. From enhancing security at stadiums to streamlining educational processes, the benefits are far-reaching. The successful deployment of biometrics in various sectors is a testament to its potential as a game-changer in the modern world.
