The new Thales Gemalto Intelligent ID Card Reader is the first reader designed for inspecting both sides of an ID document simultaneously in the cloud, thus simplifying the ID verification process.
The new document reader enables accurate ID card and driving license authentication to speed up people onboarding and protect businesses from ID fraud.
It answers COVID-19 hygiene recommendations by providing contact-free ID verification for end-users and operators.
Thales showcases the world’s only double-sided ID card reader, the first to be able to examine ID cards or driving licenses in the cloud in less than four seconds.
The Thales Gemalto Intelligent Double-sided ID Card Reader CR5400i enables fast, secure and remote identity document verification.
The reader protects businesses (airports, casinos, hotels, stores, etc.) from fraud and forgery thanks to sophisticated mechanisms for superior document authentication.
Using the device is very easy: the user simply inserts their ID card into the reader which reads both sides of the card simultaneously.
Once this action is complete, a LED changes from blue to green and the ID is ejected and returned to its owner with no physical interaction between the user and operator. It provides a better customer experience while capturing and authenticating scanned data.
“At Thales, we are committed to bringing both convenience and security to the ID verification process. With the new double-sided reader the user experience is smooth while the service provider can fight ID fraud benefitting from a flexible and easy-to-integrate solution,” said James MacLean, director of document reading solutions at Thales. “In addition, the Covid-19 context has brought new challenges that Thales’ intelligent ID card reader answers with its touch-free feature.”
