The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, reactivated its Large Hadron Collider after a three-year hiatus for repairs and upgrades, continuing their quest to understand the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Located near Geneva on the Swiss-French border, the CERN’s security team employs Iris ID’s advanced iris recognition solution to maintain the safety and security of the facility, its invaluable assets, and the host of renowned international scientists and staff registered for access to the facility.
Iris ID iris recognition technology provides fast, contactless, and highly accurate identity authentication for over 10,000 registered individuals who have been cleared for access to CERN over the years. CERN currently has Iris ID iris readers installed at the main entry and various access points along the 27-kilometer circular Large Hadron Collider as well as deployments at access points to the radiological area of CERN’s Proton Synchrotron (PS) accelerator area.
