AUGUSTA, Ga. – Augusta Metro FCU has implemented Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies’ standalone Schlage biometric HandKey reader to provide its members with self-service access to the safe deposit vault.
The technology allows members to simply punch in a code on the hand reader, presents his or her hand to the unit and, once verified, the bullet-proof glass door opens. At the same time, the individual's safe deposit box opens and nobody can enter the vault until that member puts away the deposit box.
The biometric hand geometry reader simultaneously analyses more than 31,000 points and instantaneously records more than 90 separate measurements of an individual's hand, including length, width, thickness and surface area, to verify the person's identification. The verification process takes only a second.
