Idex Biometrics starts production ramp preparations to fulfill multi-year order commitment

Idex Biometrics reported today that it has received a purchase order and initiated production ramp preparations to fulfill a multi-year order commitment signed earlier this year with a leading provider of global financial news and IT services.

The three-year agreement includes a multimillion-dollar commitment for Idex’s SmartFinger IDX 3200 dual-interface sensors, enhanced with advanced security features. As part of the ramp-up process, Idex says it is supplying the sensors to a large electronics manufacturing service company to qualify the manufacturing process.

“This is an exciting time for Idex as we gear up volume production with our partners in what will be a cutting-edge, secure access solution,” says Stan Swearingen, CEO of Idex Biometrics. “We now expect a regular flow of purchase orders from this customer and look forward to being an integral part of the rollout of their enhanced biometric security solutions.”
