Bio Technology Solutions LLC has secured exclusive North American distribution rights to the VIRDI access control products manufactured by South Korea’s Union Community Co. VIRDI products use biometric fingerprint technology to replace keys, plastic cards and PINs in security door access, and monitoring time and attendance.
Bio Technology Solutions is an affiliate of NexTran Industries Inc., a provider of ATM products and solutions. “One of the biggest security headaches for companies is password management,” says Tony Park, NexTran’s senior vice president. “VIRDI eliminates the need for employees to remember a pass code and makes it virtually a certainty that anyone who enters a premise has access rights to be there.”
VIRDI technology is currently available in three products, according to Park. One is a door lock containing a fingerprint identification system, a second provides employee time-and-attendance management and a third is a wall pad that provides access control.
