Aurora Computer Services Ltd - The Face of Biometrics

Aurora is the UK leader in the provision of Face Recognition technology. Our solutions have been delivered to over 100 clients in over 940 sites both in the UK and UAE, logging over 15 million time and attendance records each year. Within the construction industry alone, Aurora's Face Recognition technology is used in three times as many locations as all other biometric time and attendance solutions combined.

Our clients identify improvements to their bottom line through:

• Reduced wage bills
• Streamlined administration
• Improved health and safety
• Enhanced security

As modern construction sites look to replace expensive man-guard systems and perhaps ineffective "contact" biometrics, Aurora leads the world with our industry-proven, light-immune Face Recognition solutions. Using the latest in infra-red technology, Aurora systems can enroll and verify operatives in bright sunlight, pitch darkness, or anywhere in between, in less than 1.5 seconds.

Why do our clients use face recognition?

• Universal. Everyone has a face, everyone can enrol.
• Non-intrusive. A non-contact verification process, similar to having a photo taken.
• Incredibly Fast. Responsive software “finds” the user’s face within a frame and starts making comparisons instantly. Sensors don’t need to be adjusted for height; spectacles and safety gloves don’t need to be removed; operatives don’t need to touch a scanner or present their face in a particular way. Verification takes approximately 1.5 seconds.
• Accurate. Better than humans at verifying identity, and able to work 24 hours a day.
• Dependable. Successfully deployed in challenging real-life environments, overcoming usual biometric obstacles such as dust, dirt, grease, variable lighting and user co-operation. Aurora systems are in use in over 940 construction locations in the UK and Middle East, processing over fifteen million clocking actions a year.
• Transparent. Face recognition is the only biometric where the transaction records can be visually confirmed.
