LOUISVILLE, Colo., Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boulder Imaging, a leader in machine vision and artificial intelligence solutions, is proud to announce the world's first Common Detector Interface 2 (CDI2)-compliant software. This pioneering software, combined with Authentix GemVision™ sensors and image processing and fitness algorithms, is designed to deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy in banknote authentication and quality assessment.
The Common Detector Interface 2 (CDI2) standard, developed by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, represents a significant advancement for central banks globally. This high-tech solution standardizes banknote inspection, reduces currency waste, optimizes quality, and lowers environmental impact by increasing the lifespan of notes in circulation.
Not only does Boulder Imaging's software comply with the CDI2 standard, but it also exceeds the requirements in many areas. The software assesses the quality of each banknote at a rate of 40 notes per second-or more than 140,000 notes per hour-with an accuracy rate exceeding 99.99%. This commitment to excellence is validated by the company's Intergraf certification, which ensures compliance with the highest international standards for the banknote and security industry.
"Through Boulder Imaging's leadership, CDI2 has transitioned from a technical specification to an operational reality, increasing yield and reducing costs for central banks," said Don Mills, president and chief operating officer at Boulder Imaging. "We remain committed to delivering innovative tools that ensure speed, accuracy, and scalability for years to come."
The industry-wide adoption of CDI2 is expected to revolutionize currency management, enabling central banks to select the most suitable detection technologies from multiple suppliers. As the banknote industry embraces this new standard, Boulder Imaging is well-positioned to provide flexible and customizable solutions, allowing central banks to optimize their banknote management processes and accommodate future security features and materials for next-generation banknotes.
