Biometric access control has undergone a series of developments in recent years that have led to the democratization of this technology, and further progress towards total security.
Among the multitude of access control systems, biometric access stands out as a solid technology and one that is also increasingly available to all kinds of companies.
Discover all the possibilities offered by biometric control solutions today and how to implement them in your facilities with this brief guide.
Biometric access control includes all technologies that use the physical characteristics of a human being to authenticate identities and grant access.
In recent years, biometrics has emerged as one of the most secure access control solutions, and its market value is expected to double over the next decade.
By accessing this advanced technology, we can say goodbye to ineffective alternatives such as low-frequency cards, and preventing insecure situations such as internal fraud, which more than half of companies have already suffered from, according to Deloitte.
Voice recognitionA voice biometric access system is capable of recognizing the vibrations a person creates when speaking, identifying the individual to deny or grant access. |

Facial recognitionBiometric control by facial recognition is based on 2D and more recently 3D images, extracting a facial template or mask while attempting to identify an individual. These systems are still in a very early stage of maturation and not currently capable of guaranteeing correct and precise identification. You may be interested in: Is facial recognition secure? |

Eye recognitionThis is a more precise system than facial identification but with certain difficulties (the individual's position must be exact in terms of height and users also associate this system with a lack of privacy and intimacy) and until now, high costs. |
FingerprintBiometric access control is considered the most secure on offer today, based on the fact that fingerprints are unique and immutable. In this regard, and to reduce security risks to a minimum, it's essential to make use of the latest generation fingerprint readers, which also have advanced features such as:

The benefits of biometric access control have positioned this technology as one of the most popular for all kinds of businesses. Some of the reasons why biometrics is recommended for security applications include the following:
Biometric access is the only method that can identify an individual in an access control system with full certainty.
Cards or badges can be exchanged, loaned or stolen (so that a company may not be certain of the real identity of someone getting through an access control). However, biometrics is a reliable system since it's based on unique biological factors.
This is the right solution for locations valuing the security of their facilities, such as access control for laboratories, industries, offices or banks and others.
By not depending on keys or cards, biometric control requires less maintenance compared to other options.
Biometric access control is an intuitive system for users, making identification straightforward. It utilizes to easy-to-use software, and also facilitates full control over access to facilities for any company.
At NÜO Planet, we design biometric access control systems tailored to each company.
Located at the forefront of biometric control, we offer high-precision multispectral technology for the unequivocal identification of each individual, having also made progress in contactless biometrics with our NÜO Fly reader.

Our Lu reader is a high-end miniaturized biometric reader, set up to manage access for up to 250 users with maximum security.
With an exclusive design and small dimensions, we've extended its versatility so that it may be installed in unusual places such as doors with very narrow metal profiles, glass entrances, cabinets, showcases, drawers and more.
The Lu W reader represents a high-end option for managing user access to indoor spaces with maximum security.
It employs a capacitive sensor and a powerful biometric algorithm, and features outstanding capabilities such as:
The Awa reader is designed to provide high security levels for outdoor biometric readers and for environments with high security sensitivity such as access control in industries or laboratories.
With a state-of-the-art optical sensor, the NÜO Awa outdoor reader makes it easy to capture clear images of the deep layers of the finger's surface. Among its characteristics, the following stand out:
The Awa X reader is designed for the ultra-fast management of turnstile access controls, being able to manage the access of thousands of users.
Based on a turnstile-specific DC Lane controller and state-of-the-art biometric algorithm, it also enables access via high-security cards and mobile devices.
