IAI Supplies Passport Personalisation Systems to Algeria
WAALWIJK, The Netherlands, January 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrial Automation Integrators (IAI) B.V. in Veldhoven, a subsidiary
of DOCDATA N.V. in Waalwijk, will supply BookMaster One systems for the
personalization of passports to Hotel des Monnaies, a department of the
Banque d'Algerie. This department will use the systems for the
personalization of Algerian passports.
BookMaster One systems are one of IAI's latest developments. They perform
the entire personalisation of passports in one pass through the system,
including quality verification of all processing done. This means that blank
passports are inserted in the system, all personal information is applied,
and fully personalized books appear at the output ready for issuing.
At present BookMaster One systems are already employed in the
personalisation of Swiss and Ukranian passports. Other IAI systems are
employed in the processing of passports for countries such as: Belgium, The
Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, Costa Rica, Ireland, Sweden, Estonia
and Canada.
The BookMaster One systems for Algeria will be commissioned in 2008. The
decision of the Algerian authorities in favour of IAI's systems confirms and
strengthens IAI's position as a prominent supplier to the Security Printing
market which produces products such as passports, ID-cards, drivers'
licenses, banknotes and other securities.
