Information Systems Group of Hitachi Europe Ltd exhibited at CeBIT 2007.

The Information Systems group displayed a range of RFID and Biometric solutions for the EMEA market for physical access control based on Hitachi Ltd's award winning Finger Vein Authentication technology. These biometric solutions work with a range of industry standard contact-less smart cards and provide standardised interfaces to existing security systems. The new system will be implemented at Hitachi's stand to show the practical applications of non invasive biometrics for access control in a corporate and data centre environment.

Finger vein pattern authentication is an original type of biometric technology developed by Hitachi. It is a core technology in the Hitachi Group security businesses and is already employed in a wide range of applications in Japan such as ATMs for financial institutions, door-access control and PC log-in control. Hitachi's award winning mu-chip RFID technology will be exhibited with a demonstration for the traceability of medical supplies.
