Case Study: Ideco achieves compact, secure multimodal biometric identification with Digi International (ConnectCore® 6)

Ideco and Digi International Develop Biometric Technology Solution Customers Can Easily Identify With

Ideco, based in Pretoria, is a leading African provider of scalable human biometric solutions used daily across security‑conscious environments. Faced with bulky, multi‑case systems, Ideco needed a single, compact, configurable unit that could capture multiple biometric modalities (fingerprint, palm vein, face, voice), simplify one‑on‑one enrollment and identification, and securely transmit data in real time while protecting privacy.

Ideco selected the Digi ConnectCore® 6 — a quad‑core, highly connected platform with pre‑certified Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth/BLE and multi‑display support — to consolidate sensors, drive two touchscreens and a printer, and manage secure cloud or cellular database communications. Strong Digi engineering support sped development and time to market; the result is a rugged, reliable portable verifier deployed across border control, mining, banking and government applications, with customer orders already coming in.
