Himax palm vein tech integrated into WAFERLOCK smart lock

TAINAN and TAICHUNG, Taiwan - Biometric authentication company Himax Technologies and smart lock manufacturer WAFERLOCK Corporation have teamed up to integrate WiseEye palm vein technology into the WAFERLOCK L322 smart lock. The device is now available for purchase and offers multiple access methods, including RFID cards, PIN codes, mechanical keys, and a mobile app.

Palm vein authentication verifies identity by detecting vein patterns beneath the skin of the palm, with liveness detection for enhanced security. The WiseEye solution from Himax incorporates an ultralow power AI processor, image sensor, and palm vein recognition algorithms, allowing for direct image capture, feature matching, and identity verification without cloud connectivity.

WAFERLOCK, a Taiwan-based company with over 25 years of experience in smart access control, markets its products worldwide and holds patents in major markets. Himax, a Taiwanese fabless semiconductor provider, has 2,200 employees and focuses on display imaging processing technologies.
