Automated biometric border tech firm Vision-Box has revealed details of an orchestration platform it has developed which aims to provide mutual benefit for all stakeholders in airport security, including passengers.The firm said the platform integrates real-time passenger flow management, and security and privacy infrastructure coupled with actionable intelligence through data analytics capability.Orchestra represents a ” sequence of passenger-centric touch-points” as used in the firm's Happy Flow solution at Aruba airport, a 100% self-service passenger flow solution based on biometrics.Miguel Leitmann, CEO of Vision-Box, presents the new platform, named orchestra, as “the only common-use management platform bringing stakeholders together, building powerful business intelligence and helping to cope with soaring passenger numbers while offering a unique passenger-centric experience. Airports have to go digital: what really needs to expand is not physical space or resources; it is intelligence. And for that you need powerful orchestration”.In the process, biometrics are used as a single authentication token to activate transactions at each touch-point by consuming services and data from a virtual Passenger Data Envelope which will be used by stakeholders.The firm says that orchestra is the first platform ever based on an end-to-end self-service passenger experience, meaning it can transform passenger information and people's flow into actionable intelligence.Leitmann added “The digital transformation of airport goes well beyond small technology experiments which fail, on a long-term basis, in achieving goals for the stakeholders and, especially, for the passenger. orchestra provides the holistic, overarching airport view the industry has been looking for, managing self-service biometric-enabled touch-points to achieve a superb, streamlined passenger process, and unlocking a world of security, efficiency and commercial benefits for those who want to offer superior service value for the passenger.”Vision-Box will be exhibiting at connect:ID 2016, 14-16 March, Washington DC. connect:ID is an international conference and exhibition that focuses on all aspects of identity technologies and the opportunities for their management in both the physical and digital worlds. http://www.connectidexpo.com
