Innovative partnership transforms access protocols for animal
agriculture facilities

CAPE CORAL, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SensibleVision,
a global developer of biometric technologies, today announced a
partnership with agriculture technology company NoveTechnologies
to deliver Protocol, a proactive 3D face recognition biometric
solution for controlling access to large commercial agriculture
facilities. Unlike most existing face recognition technologies in use
today, Protocol does not factor in skin tone and therefore does
not discriminate based on ethnicity or race.

Protocol is designed to protect swine and poultry barns by
managing access to improve the safety and wellbeing of animals, people,
and food production. Historically, production facilities have relied on
trust and paper trails to validate people coming in and out of various
systems and facilities. By providing a secure third-party verified
approach to access, organizations can now accurately determine who is
coming in and out of their facilities, lowering their risk and
increasing consumer confidence.

“This is all about food safety,” said Anthony Novero, Founder of
NoveTechnologies. “Previous face recognition solutions that we tried
were inconsistent and did not deliver a viable security option. Working
with SensibleVision allows us to put teeth into our real-time tracking.
With near-instantaneous 3D face recognition in any lighting conditions,
it helps us prevent employees who might be carrying disease from
facility to facility from potentially infecting a large group of
animals. And because the solution is ‘race blind,’ we’re able to be fair
and equitable to all of our employees, regardless of their skin tone.”

Not only does the SensibleVision/NoveTechnologies solution mitigate the
vectors for pathogen transfer, it also helps facilities avoid an even
scarier scenario — bioterrorism. By reducing the potential for access by
possible intruders, the food supply is dramatically safer.

There are literally tens of thousands of agricultural production
facilities in the swine and poultry industry that could potentially
benefit from using the NoveTechnologies approach. Currently, the
solution is being rolled out in beta to production facilities who will
subscribe and pay a monthly service charge.
