India’s First Indigenous Iris Recognition Technology Launched by Biomatiques

An India-based biometrics company has released a new portable iris scanner that is available to anyone with a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. 
Headquartered in Surat India, Biomatiques is a privately held company that promises to deliver tailored products and services that exceed their clients' expectations by increasing their profitability and efficiency in the field of biometric identity solutions.

Though they are a relatively young company in the biometrics industry (established in 2012), Biomatiques is very rapidly making a name for itself by producing cutting-edge Iris-based biometric recognition hardware and software.

The eParakh Iris Scanner can be deployed at ATM, shops for Debit/Credit card transaction verification, and many more. The device has already received prominent awards in the Information Technology field. 

“Our indigenisation has helped us bring down the cost of Iris authentication to match fingerprint authentication,” said Biomatiques CEO Tamaal Roy. “With our vision of ‘Total Security’, we aim to completely replace fingerprint authentication, which is error-prone. The applications for this technology are varied, and we are expecting this price revolution to change the security mindset across India and the globe. The awarded STQC Department of IT allows connection of our Iris scanners to the Aadhaar database also.”


It is also STQC Approved, meets the Eye Safety standards as per ISO/IEC 62471, and is USB-IF Certified.
