THE COMPANY

Recognition Systems, Inc., a division of Ingersoll-Rand, is the worldwide leader in Biometric access control, time and attendance, and personal identification products. Biometric devices are electronic means of measuring unique characteristics or actions of a person, and are used to identify, or verify the identity of, an individual.

The company, founded in 1986, pioneered the commercialization of biometrics using its patented hand geometry. This technology verifies identity by the size and shape of the hand. The widespread use of Recognition Systems HandReaders in access control and time and attendance applications has established Recognition Systems as the market leader in biometric verification.

Recognition Systems HandReaders provide improved security, accuracy, and convenience for these three important applications: For Access Control, the HandReaders ensure that the person who enters isn't merely carrying someone else's access card or PIN. For Time and Attendance, the HandReaders improve payroll accuracy and simplicity by eliminating "buddy-punching.” For Personal Identification, the HandReaders guarantee that the people on a site actually belong there.

The HandReaders are fast, easy to use, and reliable.   As of the mid-year 2002, over 70,000 units have been installed throughout the world, in a wide variety of applications.   There are over 18,000 employees at San Francisco International Airport who have depended on HandReaders for tarmac access since 1993 with over 100 million transactions. The 1996 Olympic Games utilized the HandReaders to protect access to the Olympic Village. More than 65,000 people were enrolled and over 1 million transactions were handled in 28 days. There are more than 900 HandReaders that control client and employee access to special areas of Italian banks and over 100 units perform similar functions in Russia. The HandReaders now play a vital role in a border crossing system for frequent travelers. The program, called INSPASS, is currently being expanded in United States airports. In the United Kingdom, Her Majesty's Prisons rely on the HandReaders for prisoner tracking. Universities use the HandReaders for their on-campus meal programs; to safeguard access to dormitories, and to protect their computer centers. Veteran's hospitals throughout the United States use HandReaders to protect drug dispensaries. HandReaders allow members to access clubs around the globe without having to remember to carry a card. Schools and day care centers use hand readers to verify the identity of parents and safeguard the children left in their care. The list goes on.
