01
Internal biometric
Uses vascular patterns inside the palm to reduce exposure and replication burden compared with surface features.
Palm Vein Technology
Authentication based on blood vessels inside the palm
Palm vein recognition uses internal vascular patterns, not visible surface features. It shifts locker security from possession or memory-based access to user-based authentication.
Why Palm VeinContactless access
Contactless access
for locker-room privacy
Palm vein recognition uses internal vascular patterns. It reduces face-capture concerns and does not require direct fingerprint contact, making it suitable for shared lockers and storage cabinets.

02
Contactless
Users authenticate by placing their palm near the device.
03
User-based security
Access is based on the user’s own palm, not cards, PINs or keys.
04
Locker-room fit
Reduces face-capture and fingerprint-contact burden in shared locker environments.
Comparison
Why palm vein recognition?
Conventional locker systems verify possession or knowledge. Palmlock verifies the actual user without contact.
