Advanced Optical Systems

Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. (AOS) is a Veteran-Owned Business located in Huntsville, Alabama. Incorporated in 1988, AOS has been delivering smart imaging systems that detect and recognize things for the past 28 years. Some of these technologies include target recognizing missile seekers, robotic helicopter cargo systems, and space docking sensors for missions like the last Hubble Servicing Mission. Nearly a decade ago, AOS began to position itself to become the leader in zero contact fingerprinting technologies and products. AOS invented Zero-Contact Fingerprinting with an innovation that Popular Science eventually named one of the top 100 innovations of 2012. In 2016 ANDI® OTG 3.0 was named best new user authentication, identification, credentialing and management product in SIA's New Product Showcase at ISC West. ANDI® OTG is the fast, accurate, zero-contact fingerprint identity solution for enrollment verification and access control. ANDI® OTG is ideal for high-security applications like border control, airport security, ticketless event access, and checkpoint authorization. With the wave of a hand the simple-to-use OTG identifies users at walking speed. ANDI® OTG's Zero-Contact Fingerprint Technology offers a better way to collect fingerprints than old-fashioned contact fingerprint devices, delivering: • High-speed matching! • Better performance with aged and worn fingerprints • Better interoperability (than between contact fingerprint devices) • Capture quality that is independent of the operator • Improved hygiene • Less maintenance • Easy use for real people • No hot or cold surfaces to touch (and no static shock!) Best of all ANDI® OTG is manufactured and assembled in the southeastern United States and was the first non-contact fingerprint technology to receive PIV certification from the US FBI.
