What AI Implementation Group Asia & APAC does

AI Implementation Group Asia & APAC (trading as AiGroup) is a Singapore-headquartered biometric AI company that builds face recognition, liveness detection, palm vein biometrics, and video analytics products for identity verification, access control, attendance, and customer analytics. Its portfolio spans five products: AI TrustID (on-premise 1:1 and 1:N facial identity verification with liveness), AI SmartEye (face-based access control with integrated timekeeping and behavior analytics, including bundled hardware), AI AccuVision (video analytics for visitor counting, demographics, heat maps, and object/safety detection), Vision Mobile and Web SDK (embeddable face detection, liveness, eye-state, and OCR components for Android, iOS, and web), and AI PalmID (contactless palm vein biometric for high-security access and payment authorization). Underlying technology is built on in-house deep neural networks and machine learning, with claimed sub-300-millisecond search across million-scale face databases and liveness detection under 100 milliseconds.

Revenue model

1. On-premise Software Licensing: AIIG offers on-premise deployment of its biometric solutions (e.g., TrustID), where the entire system including the database is hosted on the customer's server, ensuring complete data security. Revenue is generated through software licensing for enterprise deployments.
2. Cloud Services: The company provides cloud-based biometric services in addition to on-premise options, offering flexible deployment options for customers who prefer not to manage their own infrastructure.
3. SDK Licensing (Mobile and Web): Vision Mobile and Web SDK is offered for integration into customer applications on Android, iOS, and web platforms, generating licensing revenue from developers and product teams that embed the technology.
4. Enterprise Hardware Integration: AI SmartEye integrates both software and hardware terminals with cameras, turnstiles, and access media readers, suggesting revenue also derives from bundled hardware/software solutions for access control deployments.

Products and services

• AI TrustID On-premise facial recognition and identity verification system that detects faces in photos, verifies photo data against database information with a match percentage, performs liveness detection to identify fraud from photos, videos, or deepfakes, and conducts 1:N search across databases of millions of registered individuals. Uses 512 facial reference points and proprietary algorithms to maintain accuracy despite age changes, glasses, or beard variations, and disambiguates twins. Designed for KYC and client identification in banking, insurance, and government.
• AI AccuVision AI-powered video analytics solution that identifies and analyzes customers or employees through video streams. Features visitor counting, customer identification, gender and age determination, heat map generation, and object detection (e.g., safety compliance monitoring). Used by retail and food industry, education, and manufacturing enterprises.
• AI SmartEye Face-based access control and automated timekeeping system that eliminates the need for access cards, automatically manages employee access through facial identification, generates reports on employee presence and tardiness, and includes employee behavior analysis for workplace optimization. Integrates software with hardware terminals, turnstiles, and access media readers.
• Vision Mobile and Web SDK Software development kit providing facial recognition capabilities for Android, iOS, and web applications. Includes face detection, face rotation angle detection, open/closed eye detection, and OCR tailored for identity document processing. Targets developers and product teams integrating biometric capabilities into customer-facing applications.
• AI PalmID Contactless palm vein biometric solution for access control and payment authorization with 99.9% accuracy rate, 0.3-second recognition speed, and a false acceptance rate of less than 0.000001%. Generates a single unforgeable record per user based on unique palm vein patterns, providing high-security authentication for banking, enterprise, and government deployments.
