R&D and production facilities

Designed and built in-house

We design and build our products in our own R&D and production facilities - for maximum control over quality and delivery times.

20,000 m² of production facilities

For full control over customisation, quality and timelines.

Why in-house

The factories are part of the delivery guarantee

We design the enclosure, choose the sensor, write the software and build the unit. That means we can change the specification, commit to lead times and enforce security at the point the device is made.

tune

Programme-specific builds

Sensor combinations, ports, branding and preloaded software are configured per programme instead of forcing a country to adapt to a catalogue unit.

key

Security at manufacture

Secure keys and device identities are provisioned on the production line under controlled conditions, so every device can be trusted from the moment it is made.

schedule

Schedules we control

Election and census dates do not move. Owning production means volume commitments are ours to hold rather than a supplier’s to explain.

From concept to deployment

Six stages between a requirement and a working device

Requirement

Design and prototype

Environmental testing

Certification

Production

Configuration and dispatch

Requirement

Engineers work from the operating reality: climate, power, connectivity, daily enrolment targets and the biometric modalities the country requires. That brief sets the specification rather than an existing product deciding it.

Requirement

Requirement

Design and prototype

Enclosure, sensor selection, board layout and firmware are developed by our own teams, with prototypes produced on site so a design can be held in the hand within days rather than shipped in from a partner.

Environmental testing

Units go into temperature and humidity chambers, dust enclosures, vibration rigs and drop tests to military standards. Failures found here become design changes; failures found later become programme incidents.

Certification

Once internal testing is clean, devices go to accredited laboratories for FBI image-quality, MIL-STD-810H, CE and RoHS certification, and to MOSIP compliance where the programme requires it.

Production

Devices are assembled, imaged and serialised in a controlled facility, with secure keys and device identities provisioned during manufacture and every unit quality-checked before it is boxed.

Configuration and dispatch

Devices are set up to the country configuration (software, language, flows and accessories), then packed, manifested and shipped against the rollout schedule, with each unit tracked to its destination site.

Four functions under one roof

Engineering, test, production and logistics sit alongside each other, so a design change is prototyped, proven and in build without leaving the organisation.
