Pilot biometric project will be presented this Sunday at the Brazilian customs
The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service will present this Sunday, September 27, a palm-print identification system in the pedestrian lane of the Friendship Bridge in Foz do Iguaçu. The demonstration will take place at 10 a.m. at the Brazilian customs office, with practical tests open to the press.
The pilot project aims to assess whether the technology can speed up the entry control of pedestrians coming from Paraguay, one of the busiest daily traveler routes in the border region.
During the presentation, officials will demonstrate how the system works and will allow journalists to test the equipment. The goal is to measure the tool’s viability and efficiency amid the intense flow of Brazilians, Paraguayans, tourists and workers who cross the bridge every day.
So far, the Federal Revenue Service has not indicated whether the system will be kept after the testing phase, nor how long the pilot will run or if it will be expanded to other border control points.
