Description

Fast, virtually infallible, and user-friendly. This is Osmond, the latest ID document reader from Adaptive Recognition. With Osmond, you can authenticate IDs like a pro and streamline the passenger boarding process.

Why Choose Osmond?

  • It’s easy to use: Just place the ID onto the scanning surface and let Osmond take care of the rest. Results are immediately displayed either on your computer or, depending on the chosen Osmond model, on the device itself. Adaptive Recognition’s Authentication Checker software — provided with the device for free — immediately alerts users of forged documents. There is no need for a forgery expert with Osmond; it’s the user.
  • It’s fully automated: Osmond reads ID data automatically and displays it in less than one 1 second. It recognizes special characters without problem.
  • It reads all forms of ID data: Whether it’s MRZ or VIZ data on a passport, a barcode of a boarding card, or RFID chips of e-IDs, Osmond retrieves all necessary information and displays it in a format airport personnel can interpret.
  • It sees EVERYTHING—all the time: With features like reflection removal and Adaptive Light Control, Osmond confidently reads documents regardless of external conditions. And by using special illuminations — including white light, infrared, UV, and even oblique light — Osmond can analyze each layer of the identity document. Osmond even makes microprints visible thanks to its 700 ppi scanning resolution.
  • It’s versatile: Osmond is available in 4 different configurations, each with its own unique set of features. Powering is offered in 3 options: external, USB-C, and PoE+. Regardless of the model and powering, Osmond devices can be used in desktop environments — i.e., at check-in desks — or built into Automated Border Control (ABC) e-gates.
  • It’s durable: All Osmond models are manufactured on an automated assembly line and contain no moving parts. This, combined with the IP54-protected case, the IP68-compliant connectors, and the scratch-resistant glass, ensures steady operation for many years to come.
  • It’s proven: Osmond and its predecessors have proven themselves worldwide in border control and administrative operations at airports worldwide, from Hongkong, through Singapore, to Frankfurt.
