One signal,
twenty years of it.
EMS Biometric is a biometric hardware company that started with a single in-house fingerprint matching algorithm — and stayed with it long enough for silicon, modules and terminals to be built around it.
Started with a matcher, not a marketing deck.
Our first product was a fingerprint matching algorithm running on our own silicon. Everything else — sensor arrays, face and vein modules, 2D scan engines, access terminals — came from customer questions that algorithm could not answer alone.
- Vertical by accident, on purpose — chip design, algorithm, module and terminal engineering live under one test bench, so an interface problem is solved by the engineer who wrote the API.
- Published terms — MOQ 1 pc, sample lead time 1–3 days, production 10–25 days below 5,000 pcs, free SDK, 48h FAE response, 2-year warranty. No negotiation game at the gate.
- B2B only — we sell to door OEMs, POS vendors, attendance integrators and government projects; never to consumers — and every unit ships under a brand we stand behind, with our own test report.
Milestones, measured.
The first matcher
Company founded in Zhejiang; the in-house fingerprint matching algorithm runs on our own silicon — the lineage every AS-series chip still carries.
Chip to module
Fingerprint security SoCs pair with BS-series capacitive arrays; first module lines go into door locks and attendance devices.
AM160 family
360° capture fingerprint modules land in ⌀14–16 mm packages — the form factor that became the company's volume workhorse.
Door-lock leadership
Fingerprint chips reach about 70% of China's smart door-lock module supply — share as a company-published estimate, not a third-party audited figure.
RGB+IR liveness
Dual-lens face platforms ship with dual-camera liveness — a photo can open software, it cannot open a door.
Multimodal turn
Security crypto coprocessor (AS569), face algorithm chips and QR decode SoCs enter the catalog — identity stops being a single finger.
300M+ chips
Cumulative biometric chip shipments pass 300 million — enrolled, matched, shipped, serviced.
Terminal era
TM-Ai face terminals, network attendance units and door controllers (TCP/IP + RS485) complete the chain from die to door.
Scan engines
4-mil-class 2D decode SoCs (AS732/AS733) and a 47-SKU handheld scanner line round out the barcode portfolio.
20+ years of numbers
400+ registered patents and software works, 20+ years of shipping, and one published claim we refuse to make: certificates we have not earned.
The numbers we publish.
Honest datasheets, audible failures.
- Published over promised — where a parameter is family-class, still in qualification, or simply not measured, the page says so. No asterisk you only discover at delivery.
- Compliance route consulting — we state what we hold and name the path for what we do not: pre-scans, technical files and lab coordination for CE/FCC/RoHS-class routes, quoted honestly.
- Engineer-direct support — 48h FAE from inquiry to first answer; the person who answers designed the part or sits beside the line.
- Quantity as courtesy — MOQ 1 pc is business policy, not a trick: we price against volume, but we never gate an evaluation behind it.
