Alcatraz AI is replacing badges as an access point identification method by leveraging facial recognition, 3D sensing and artificial intelligence to enable highly secure and frictionless entry into physical locations.

Alcatraz AI is pleased to announce their facial recognition platform has been nominated to compete in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program from AST.

Alcatraz AI (artificial intelligence) uses 3D sensing for completely frictionless FaceID-like secure facial authentication for physical access control, replacing badging in the workplace, with AI-based anti-tailgating alerts and enrollment.

Artificial Intelligence for Security

Secure Facial Authentication

Alcatraz uses real-time 3D facial mapping and deep neural networks to automatically enroll an individual based on any current access control method (badge, NFC, Bluetooth or picture.)

Entry is granted based on secure facial recognition with first in the industry instant one-factor authentication for multi-person in-the-flow sensing.

Intelligent Enrollment

Industry first initial training based on artificial intelligence.

Alcatraz learns as employees are badging and switches to one factor face-only mode once ready.

Tailgating Detection

Long scanning range and large field of view authenticates multiple faces in-the-flow and alerts based on policy.

Auto-tagging and real-time notifications with video and analytics, along with single-factor face-only authentication create an efficient and guard-less entry flow.

Time Tracking

Automatic employee check-in based on multi-person in-the-flow sensing.

No more punch cards — time your hourly employees based on secure facial authentication.

The company is venture backed by JCI Ventures (Johnson Controls) and a part of the NVIDIA Inception program, currently piloting the product in some of the biggest tech corporations in Silicon Valley, as well as in government and life sciences.

Alcatraz AI customers get analytics, real-time notifications and can detect tailgating.

The platform is scalable, fast, easy to integrate and works with existing access control systems, using computer vision and artificial intelligence for real-time decision making on the edge.

Alcatraz AI algorithms constantly improve with deep learning-based analytics at the core.

Starting with physical access control, replacing current badge and biometric readers, Alcatraz intends, over time, to add more applications in a wide range of verticals.

Additionally, Alcatraz AI was just recognized with the New Product Showcase Judge’s Choice Award at ISC West 2019.
