Idemia was first awarded the contract to roll-out automated gates for immigration clearance at Changi Airport in 2017. Since then, the company has subsequently worked with ICA and HTX to equip other Changi Airport terminals as well as Woodlands and Tuas land checkpoints with automated gates, delivering seamless and secure travel experience for all travellers entering and leaving the country. Idemia's Automated Border Control System Idemia will now expand its investment in Singapore, nurturing local talent and expertise by putting its systems into all of the country’s air, land and sea border checkpoints. Idemia will deploy its Augmented Borders Suite along with new front-end technologies that includes its advanced ID-Look devices and a range of digital processing solutions to deliver a smart, automated and robust border crossing system. “We’re thrilled to be awarded this high-profile contract that showcases our ability to surpass our customers’ expectations, our ongoing and significant investment in innovation and our capacity to roll out our technologies at scale. We look forward to paving the way for a future digital travel era,” said Matt Cole, Idemia Executive Vice President, Public Security and Identity. With nearly 15,000 employees, Idemia is trusted by over 600 governmental organizations and more than 2,300 enterprises spread over 180 countries.
