Dormakaba claimed its first award with EntriWorX™ Insights, a product designed to manage door systems proactively and to provide maintenance based on historical data via a centralized panel. In addition, door telemetry data can be tracked in real time through the IoT-compatible Connector One device.

The company’s second accolade went to CenconX™ One-Time-Code (OTC) Safe Lock, a keyless ATM lock solution. This new device simplifies operations by transmitting codes automatically via Bluetooth and by using device-based identity instead of physical credentials.

With its award-winning products, Ones Technology both competed with sector leaders such as dormakaba and signaled the beginning of a new era of technological and commercial collaborations.

What Makes the Award-Winning Devices Stand Out?

BioAffix® Gate Vision emerges as a new actor in biometric authentication. Winner of the “Best in Biometrics” award, it delivers virtually foolproof identification with infrared-based 3-D facial recognition. The device verifies users in a very short time by merging facial biometric data with a dedicated neural-network map. Through Intel RealSense® 3-D depth sensing and liveness detection, it effectively blocks spoofing attempts with photos, masks, or video.

Development Process and Core Technologies

Onur Sırmatel notes that Ones Technology’s corporate structure and innovation culture advanced considerably during the R&D phase:

“While the milestones in the development process of these award-winning devices were being woven together, our strategic partnership with Intel RealSense® empowered us.
