The new INTERPOL e-passport contains a variety of security measures and a number of them are applied by IAI´s BookMaster One systems. BookMaster systems perform the programming of the electronic chip, the laser engraving of the polycarbonate data page, the application of the high level security feature ImagePerf and the perforation of a passport number through the visa pages of the passport.
The INTERPOL e-passport was awarded to the EDAPS Consortium in Ukraine, which employs IAI´s BookMaster One systems for the personalisation of the Ukrainian passport. "The quality of the features offered in EDAPS´ e-passport and the ability of the company´s sophisticated plant, workforce and system of production proved decisive in its selection by INTERPOL to lead the e-passport initiative," concluded INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
INTERPOL President Khoo Boon Hui recognises the strength of IAI´s laser applied security features among others, when he states that: "The INTERPOL passport contains state-of-the-art features that will not only facilitate the carrying out of important INTERPOL business worldwide, but will also serve as an example for the standards which should be implemented worldwide for travel document security."
INTERPOL is an international organisation that aims to join efforts of national law enforcement bodies of its 187 member countries in combating crime. The organisation introduced the new e-passport to enable its staff to travel internationally without requiring a visa when assisting in transnational investigations or urgent deployments to incidents.

Waalwijk, The Netherlands, 28 January 2008 – DOCdata N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam: DOCD)
For IAI, the focus of the year 2007 has been on the strategic search for new markets. Part of this was research on the application of the core competences of IAI into these new markets.
The current core competences of IAI are the design, building, installation and maintenance of automated production systems, especially utilising optical and laser technology. The outcome of this research is that these core competences align well with the demand for specialised production systems in the production process of solar cells.
Each type of solar cell requires its own automated production systems to enable production at some scale for an acceptable price. The continuous effort to decrease production costs and increase efficiency of solar cells leads to improvements of existing types, as well as to the introduction of new types.
It is therefore expected that for many years to come there will be a considerable demand for specific, automated production systems in which product handling, laser, optical, vision and software will be important technologies. These items align perfectly with the knowledge and experience of IAI in the existing application areas.
The market for solar cells has at least the following characteristics: market research studies unanimously predict double digit growth rates for many years to come; at the moment, many different types of solar cells are being produced and many different types are being developed; laser operations and product handling are important items for the production of solar cells.
In the meantime, IAI has booked the first order for the delivery of a solar cell production system. With the application of IAI’s knowledge of and experience in laser technology this system realises innovative connection technology for solar cells.
DOCdata intends to shape the market strategy for IAI further in the coming months by entering into partnerships that are necessary to enter into this market for solar cell production systems. Next to this, IAI will continue its attention for existing markets. IAI will introduce new products in the security printing market in order to serve a larger share of this market.

Cartes
Paris – 13 to 15 November
For the first year, IAI will attend Cartes with its own booth. This unique event, which is completely dedicated to all types of cards, gives IAI the opportunity to demonstrate the CardMaster One system in real.
The CardMaster One system personalizes ID-1 size cards in one-go. The personalization consists of laser engraving the front and back side, application of ImagePerf/TLI, chip programming of contact(less) chips and the laser engraving of both MLI and CLI. Complete quality control finalizes the process.

IAI will supply a Laser-Perforation-System for the application of the patented security feature MicroPerf® to a banknote printing company.
The delivery of this system is planned by mid-2008. This system will replace a MicroPerf® system that is operational since 1997. The turnover involved with the sale of the new MicroPerf® system totals up to well over € 2 million. The order clearly demonstrates IAI´s position in the security printing market, where IAI offers systems for the application of security features to passports, identity cards, banknotes and other security documents.
Main contractor for this project is KBA-GIORI S.A. in Lausanne, Switzerland, the marketing and sales subsidiary of König & Bauer (KBA) in Würzburg (www.kba-print.de) for the security printing market. KBA-GIORI is by far the leading supplier of equipment to banknote printers. Both IAI and the manufacturer of printing presses KBA are subcontractors. The KBA- and IAI- (sub)systems are integrated into one system for the application of MicroPerf® at the customer´s site.
The MicroPerf® security feature, an invention of the Swiss security printer Orell Füssli (www.ofs.ch), is now applied in Swiss, Russian and several other banknotes. It consists of a pattern of minute, laser applied holes, which become visible when the note is held to the light.

IAI’s patented security features ImagePerf® and ImagePerf/TLI® are very well appreciated by governmental authorities in order to enhance the security of their passports and are already applied in Belgian, Dutch, Estonian, Swiss and Irish passports. IAI also supplied systems to major passport suppliers who manufacture and/or personalise passports for smaller countries not having their own facilities at their disposal.
The decision of this Central European country to award this contract of over EUR 7 million to Industrial Automation Integrators (IAI) B.V. in Veldhoven, once again demonstrates IAI’s steady growth in security printing where IAI offers systems for the processing of security documents such as passports, identity cards, banknotes, etc.

IAI will also supply systems for the application of NumberPerf® in passports to leading security printers François Charles Oberthur Fiduciaire in France and De La Rue Global Services in the United Kingdom.
In Switzerland, the existing production capacity needs to be extended due to the fact that the number of passport applications by the public exceeds the anticipated number. As before, the equipment will be supplied via main contractor and security printer Orell Füssli in Zürich to the Bundesambt für Bauten und Logistik in Bern.
In Ireland, the Irish Passport Office has decided to implement the security feature ImagePerf/TLI® in the future version of the Irish passport. For that, systems will be delivered via main contractor BearingPoint Ireland Ltd. in Dublin (formerly KPMG Consulting, Inc.) to production facilities of the Irish Passport Office in Dublin and Balbriggan.
After the implementation of IAI's ImagePerf® technology in Belgian, Dutch, Estonian and Swiss passports, this decision of the Irish authorities once again affirms the outstanding value attributed to IAI's ImagePerf® as a security feature.
Security printers François Charles Oberthur Fiduciaire in Paris, France, and De La Rue Global Services in Basingstoke, UK, both supply passports to a large number of countries. In spite of fierce competition, both of them decided in favour of IAI systems for the application of NumberPerf®. For these printers of a variety of passports, the flexibility and versatility of IAI's equipment proved to be decisive.
All of the above systems will be delivered in the course of 2003. The orders represent a turnover of over €4.7 million in total.
These orders clearly demonstrate IAI's steady growth in security printing wehere IAI offers systems for the application of security features to passports, identity cards, banknotes etcetera. IAI is honoured to be awarded these contracts of well-established parties in the security printing market.
