The Asian SESAMES Award aim to reward the most innovative technological products developed for the Asian Pacific market in the field of smart cards, digital security, identification, secure transactions, and contactless technology.
With this award, the industry recognizes Vision-Box’s smart dispenser as the most advanced and cost-effective solution to handle the self-service delivery and renewal process for ID-Cards, guaranteeing finally a truly end-to-end chain of trust to the issuing authorities.
Hong Kong, April 3, 2013, Vision-Box®, leader in electronic identity solutions and in automated border control systems has won the prestigious Asian SESAME Award during the CARTES Asia 2013 edition.
By introducing a multimodal biometric identification solution and a smart cartridge system into the self-service and self-contained dispensing unit, Vision-Box has once again re-shaped the market trend, by inventing a new front-end for use in public spaces, allowing a closer connection between citizens and the issuing authority during the expensive life-cycle of the electronic ID-Card issuance, delivery and renewal processes.
The vb e-pass dispenser is much more secure and economical than traditional manual and over the counter services that involve a direct interaction with the public.
In its essence, the vb e-pass dispenser automatically identifies the citizen by using face, finger and iris or combined biometrics, opening an online session with the life-cycle system, thus allowing the user to initiate requests for or provide updates to an ID-Card issuance or renewal process. In the same way, the dispenser internally manages each individual ID-Card (up to 5.000 per dispenser) right up to the moment before it is delivered to the citizen by the machine, providing the issuing authority with a true end-to-end chain of trust.
The solution is also integrated with the card production life cycle, sending to the central database the newly captured biometric data and also any updated biographic information. The first vb e-pass dispensers have been deployed in the Middle East.
The vb e-pass dispenser is a fully integrated solution for:
The solution supports:
Miguel Leitmann, Senior Vice President of Vision-Box S.A., highlights  that “the game change nature of the vb e-pass dispenser and how it is redesigning the interaction possibilities between authorities and citizens or customers has gained the attention of governments, banks and large corporations which have already expressed their interest into the innovative identity and card management solution, looking to benefit from the financial savings intrinsic to this solution, combined with the biometric self-service functionality, ensuring total security and accountability”. Miguel Leitmann added “we are delighted to receive this award, which gives us the clear indication that our technology is answering the complex market needs”
