About Cognitec

Cognitec is the only company worldwide that has worked exclusively on face recognition technology since its inception in 2002. Experiencing steady growth at business locations in Dresden, Boston and Sydney, the company is proud to maintain a market-leading position within the industry, and to uphold the trust it has gained as a reliable provider of biometric technologies. Independent evaluation tests continue to prove the outstanding performance of the FaceVACS® software. Cognitec’s portfolio includes products for facial image database search, recorded video investigation, real-time video screening and people analytics, border control, and biometric photo capture.

Casinos worldwide are using real-time face recognition to alert security staff of banned persons, unauthorized persons in restricted areas, and of patrons enrolled in voluntary exclusion programs who have asked to be stopped at the entrance. High rollers can receive special treatment as they are recognized at the entrance or inside. Gaming facilities use facial analysis for an initial age check to avoid paying high fines for underage gamblers. The software also detects gamblers who are staying too long in the casino or on the gaming floor. Person statistics can inform operations about visitor numbers in certain areas at specific times throughout the day, helping to make interior design, advertising placement, staffing and other operational decisions.
