Hornady® Introduces VEXIS™ a New Era of Biometric Security Powered by Palm Vein Recognition Technology

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — Hornady® is redefining biometric access with the introduction of VEXIS™, a patent-pending palm vein recognition technology that delivers unmatched speed, accuracy, privacy and reliability. Rather than relying on fingerprints, facial recognition or access codes, VEXIS™ identifies users by the unique vein pattern beneath the skin of their palm, providing secure, contactless access in less than half a second.

Unlike surface-based biometric systems, VEXIS™ reads internal vein patterns that cannot be copied, photographed, forged or left behind. The technology captures more than 2.5 million data points during each scan, resulting in exceptionally low false acceptance and false rejection rates while maintaining user privacy through locally stored data that is never uploaded or shared.

“Security should be both uncompromising and effortless,” said Jason Hornady, Vice President of Hornady. “VEXIS™ combines advanced biometric technology with the dependability our customers expect, creating one of the most secure and user-friendly access systems available today,” he added.

Built around harmless near-infrared technology, VEXIS™ recognizes vein patterns that remain stable throughout adulthood. Each device stores up to 10 unique users while supporting multi-factor authentication through a keypad and mechanical key backup.
