Banknote Processing

Authentix—providing banknote processing solutions for central banks including high speed sensors for fitness and authentication

Authentix develops the most advanced high-speed sensors available in the market for banknote authentication and fitness. Offering both paper- and polymer-specific designs, Authentix fitness sensors meet the demanding requirements associated with the processing of currency. These highly advanced systems process the equivalent of five DVDs worth of data per second, forming a number of high-resolution color images to provide a level of fitness characterization never before seen on a high-speed banknote processing system.

Exploiting unique optical techniques to get maximum performance out of off-the-shelf proven image sensors, Authentix fitness and authentication sensors are backed by a powerful processing system. This innovation is grounded in strong fundamental optics research, extensive development work, and input from leading experts in image processing and authentication. The high resolution and flexibility of our sensors provides a multitude of fitness processing options for central banks. 

Our designs go beyond the sensor, to fit into the overall workflow needs of each Central Bank. Authentix systems can capture and archive results over an extended period of time, allowing retroactive testing of parameter settings and their impact on rejection rates. This enables management to have unprecedented visibility into the processing results, trends, and new developments.
