Xperix Selected as Final Fingerprint Scanner for Spanish Electronic ID Cards

Xperix (CEO Yoon Sang-chul) announced on the 11th that its fingerprint recognition scanner RealScan-D has been selected as the final product in the bidding for the fingerprint recognition scanner for Spain's next-generation electronic resident ID issuance project.

The project, conducted by Spain's F?brica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (FNMT, the national mint), is a system that uses unmanned kiosks to apply for and issue electronic resident IDs. In 2024, unmanned kiosks will be installed in police stations across Spain, allowing citizens to directly obtain electronic resident IDs, which will be utilized in various fields such as public services, finance, and healthcare.

The RealScan-D supplied by Xperix features a wide input window that can recognize and scan high-quality fingerprint images, and incorporates the company's AI-based fake fingerprint detection technology. The company has already supplied over 50,000 units cumulatively for electronic resident ID and electronic passport issuance projects in countries such as the United States, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brazil. According to the project manager in Spain, these experiences and the excellent customer convenience and usability were significant factors in the bid selection.

Lee Sang-hoon, Executive Director of the ID Business Sector, stated, “The recently won project involved product demonstrations to major kiosk manufacturing customers from the early stages of bidding with our local Spanish partner, and we received very high responses from customers by presenting differentiated performance. We are also scheduled to participate in the upcoming Philippine voter registration project, and we expect good results.”
