Agility and Security: How Imply® Facial Recognition is Modernizing Access Management
Since 2007, Imply® has accumulated vast experience in developing innovative access control solutions. In 2014, it was the main provider of control systems for the FIFA World Cup, managing over 2 million accesses. In 2017, it implemented the first 100% biometric control system in Brazilian football, and in 2023, it launched a facial recognition technology with an accuracy rate exceeding 99.9%. Today, Imply® Access Control is present in 18 stadiums, solidifying its position as a reference in innovation and security.
Facial recognition has gained prominence worldwide as a strategic solution to modernize, streamline, and enhance the security of access control processes. With authentication performed through facial recognition, users no longer need to worry about passwords or physical media. In addition to direct benefits for users and managers, the General Sports Law (Law 14.597), enacted in July 2023, requires stadiums with a capacity of over 20,000 spectators to fully adopt this technology for access to their facilities.
The Imply® Facial Recognition Validator is an advanced solution that combines cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence, providing fast, secure, and efficient authentication. With high accuracy in individual identification, the system eliminates fraud, optimizes entry flow, and reduces operational costs. Its flexible integration with different systems makes it ideal for stadiums, arenas, events, businesses, and venues seeking to modernize access management.
