BioRugged
BioRugged specializes in biometric systems with a strong focus on durability, ease of use and mobile devices.
Our range has unique features for any use case. Our expertise lies in creating rugged, biometric and BVR Suitcases, or a combination of these technologies for a wide range of applications.
We produce mobile solutions that can quickly and effectively identify individuals using biometrics (fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition). These can be used to register or identify people in any location at any time.
BioRugged devices and kits are widely used in Africa and Latin America for purposes of Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Biometric voter registration and verification, National ID enrollment projects and large-scale data collection projects.
Through our partners we provide devices for Police, Military, Border Control, and other Law Enforcement units.
Our purpose is to remain innovative, flexible, and customer focused. We aspire to become the world’s leading developer and supplier of biometric terminals and specialized devices. We are actively expanding our horizons by creating lasting, mutual relationships with system integrators and distributors.
Founded in Africa, BioRugged is a privately held group of companies with offices in Ireland, South Africa, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen. We also have representative offices and service locations in Portugal, Germany, Nigeria, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, India, and Dubai.
