About Hisign Technology

Established in 1998, Hisign Technology is a high-tech enterprise specializing in multi-modal biometric recognition and artificial intelligence. The company operates primarily within the public security sector, providing comprehensive solutions that leverage advanced AI for the discovery, search, verification, and identification of individuals to aid in crime prevention.

Hisign’s core technology suite is extensive, encompassing algorithms for fingerprint, palm print, facial, and iris recognition, among others like footprints and voiceprints. The company's offerings are structured around four main pillars: multi-biometric recognition, video image processing and analysis, integrated criminal investigation information applications, and financial risk prevention using big data analytics. Its business model involves providing these technologies as both integrated systems and standalone software development kits (SDKs) to partners and integrators. This allows for wide application in criminal investigation, security, forensics, and border control. Beyond public security, Hisign's technologies are utilized in civil fields such as finance, social security, transportation, and large-scale event management.

The company's product portfolio includes criminal automated fingerprint/palm print identification systems (AFIS), biometric matching SDKs, and a range of hardware for biometric data collection and verification, such as fingerprint scanners and face recognition terminals. Hisign has established a significant footprint within China, with its algorithms used by a majority of provincial and city crime investigation departments. The firm was the exclusive vendor for China's national citizen ID card and e-passport fingerprint systems. Its international presence extends to countries like Indonesia, Mexico, and Sri Lanka. The company holds over sixty invention patents and four hundred software copyrights, underscoring its long-term focus on independent research and development.
