The MiY-Touch indoor biometric touch-screen access control reader is
compact, fast, and one of the lightest readers in its class. Designed
with an intuitive interface and visual user feedback, MiY-Touch also is
easy to use. Security systems integrators see benefits with features
like built-in time and attendance functions, external USB for add-on
devices, Sandbox API framework support, and an optional detachable
contact/contactless smart card reader that meets current SP800-116
standards.
MiY-Touch is the fifth product to be introduced in the 3M Cogent MiY
product line. Accolades for the company’s MiY line include previous SIA
NPS Awards, ESX Maximum Impact Awards, and ASIS Accolades.
“Each year, the companies competing in SIA’s New Product Showcase at ISC
West present leading-edge security solutions that are shaping the
industry,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “These new technologies and
solutions are the drivers that are moving the security industry forward,
and I congratulate 3M Cogent on their win at this year’s NPS.”

premier awards-based marketing program. This year’s NPS Program had 84
entries from 66 companies. In addition to the Best New Product and
Judges’ Choice honors, awards were presented in twenty one product and
