THE
MOST
Innovation is a beautiful art,
between the overwhelming
excitement of pushing new
technical boundaries, and the
obligation of providing solid tested
products to the customers.
No innovations can be carried out
without challenges, but what matters
for the innovative companies is to
stand by their customers generously
and thoroughly through the process
and deliver beyond expectations.
Touchless Biometric Systems is one
such innovative company which has
shown extreme agility and has
successfully emerged as one of the
most innovative companies in
biometrics. Inventing and committing
has always been the bedrock of TBS’
creative ideas in a conservative
industry, while eventually providing
solid and highly reliable solutions
trusted to secure palaces and nuclear
plants.
TBS, No Less
TBS is a biometric one-stop-shop for
all major security organizations,
providing innovative solutions for
access control (security) and
attendance (productivity). TBS offers
complete biometric solutions to
government, multinationals, small
enterprises, institutional organisations
or residential buildings for security.
Operating since 2009, TBS
manufactures its quality hardware in
Switzerland, and complements it with a
disruptive software platform, which
has now integrated with almost every
major global security company that
includes Honeywell, Siemens, Johnson
Controls, Kaba, Lenel, Nedap, Allegion
and more.
TBS was the first in the biometric
industry to use web services and also
brought design to biometrics, with a
range that was distinguished by the
Red Dot design award. Their disruptive
software approach was a great success
and since has been followed by others.
TBS is best known for its first
Touchless biometric reader in the
world that scans fingerprints in 3D.
Even after 6 years, the 3D (currently in
its second generation) is still the most
secure, tolerant and accurate reader
based on the information of a single
finger.
