Stopping The Spread of Bacteria

Ingersoll Rand Security Tech-nologies has announced it is using an advanced plastic technology to reduce the spread of micro organisms from people using its new GT Series biometric HandPunch readers for time and attendance applications. HandPunch readers take a three-dimensional reading of the size and shape of a hand to verify the user's identity in less than one second. A special silver-based material, using BioCote silver antimicrobial technology, is embedded into the plastics used to create the HandPunch, providing a hygienic finish that resists bacterial degradation and reduces bacteria levels on the reader's surface. securitytechnologies.ingersollrand.com
