Eight doors,
one identity stack.
The same silicon lineage — fingerprint, face, vein, barcode — deployed into eight sectors with very different failure modes. Market figures cited below come from 2025 market reports.
Smart Lock
19.8 M biometric modules shipped into lock sets in 2025, with face at 54.6% — and 72% penetration as the new-lock norm (2025 market reports).
Time & Attendance
Buddy punching touches about 75% of US employers; biometric terminals cut that leakage and keep records auditable (2025 market reports).
Access Control
Biometrics lead a $2.73 B door-access hardware market, with 62% of 2025 installs opting for face recognition (2025 market reports).
Retail & POS
2D imaging grows at 6.8–9.8% CAGR inside a $1.6 B retail-focus scanner market; mobile coupons need screen-code reading (2025 market reports).
Logistics & Warehouse
Handheld scanners own 46.8% of a $4.77 B market; one mislabeled pallet costs a dispatch night (2025 market reports).
Healthcare Labeling
UDI-format identification labels turn EU-MDR compliance from a paperwork exercise into a scanned, verifiable point.
Kiosk & Smart Cabinets
Embedded engines read curved and dimmed display codes at ≥95%; locker and pharmacy cabinet runs are a named reference class.
Finance & Government
EAL4+-class security evaluation, crypto coprocessors (TDES/AES/RSA) and police-grade enrollment collectors for high-assurance workflows.

Start with the sector's worst case.
Every sector gets the same first question: what fails, and how cheaply must that failure stay? The answer selects the platform — not the other way around.
- Smart lock — dry winter fingers and peek-through attacks → AM160 360° capture plus dual-camera liveness faces.
- Attendance — swipe-trading habits → template-local 1:1 units with TCP/IP reporting and no cloud dependency.
- Retail & logistics — bent labels and screen glare → 4 mil engines with global-shutter capture class (AS733).
- Kiosk & cabinets — cramped optical channels → slim fixed engines (X series) with RS232/UART control.
