Luxembourg international airport to install automated border control systems

October 3, 2017

The Police Grand-Ducale Luxembourg has commissioned Veridos, a Berlin, Germany based provider of security and identity verification solutions, to install 10 automated border control systems at Luxembourg's international airport. The solution reduces the time taken to check passengers while also ensuring security during the verification of travel documents. Automated border control systems – known as eGates – provide identity document verification. 

The Veridos VeriGO system will also be used in Luxembourg to facilitate the integration of existing infrastructures and databases.

"Our border officials have been using Visotec devices to verify identity documents in real time for more than a decade, making the introduction of eGates the next logical step on the road to creating the most safe and innovative border control system possible," Germain Schmit, project manager for ABC gates of the Luxembourg police, said in the press release.

The ability to verify identities within 18 seconds via eGates will reduce waiting times, the press release stated.
