Empowering People

At HID, we are passionate about the power of verified, trusted identities to help people get where they need to go and achieve what they want to do. 

People use HID technology to open doors, enter countries, access digital networks, verify transactions and track assets ― with easy-to-manage solutions like smart cards, mobile IDs, passports and even fingerprint readers and facial recognition. 

Along with our partners, we’re pioneering the hardware, software and services that allow people to navigate the physical and digital worlds with confidence.

Optimizing Places

We’re everywhere businesses, schools and governments need convenient ways to protect physical and digital places. Our products and services make it easy for the right people to get in while keeping the wrong people out. 

As safer, more efficient and sustainable environments are cultivated, people have the freedom to move, interact and work with confidence. From mobile IDs to beacons to smart cards, our broad range of identification and physical access solutions empower people to manage, measure and maximize the trust they have in a place and in its occupants.

Connecting Things

HID uses technology like RFID and active low-energy Bluetooth® to securely connect equipment, machines, devices, product inventory and many other physical assets. Utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT), we make it easy to identify, verify, track and communicate with objects directly.

We are exploring new ways to add digital capabilities to a virtually limitless list of things — from assembly line objects and production robots to clothes, posters and even life-jackets — while delivering trust and peace of mind to the people and businesses that rely on us.
