Face Recognition Technology from Cognitec Cognitec's highly specialized face recog- nition technology has a proven track record to support physical security meas- ures by alerting staff in real time about banned persons entering the premises. The technology also analyzes faces to compute anonymous data about people count, age range, gender and people movement in time and space. The company has supported various large-scale design and implementation efforts at casino sites worldwide that now successfully prevent losses and criminal activities. In addition, the technology alerts casino staff about self-enrolled problem gamblers and very important customers. Casinos worldwide pay high fines every year for allowing underage people to gamble.
