EES (Entry/Exit System)

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system established by the European Union to register non-EU nationals crossing the external borders of the Schengen Area. Replacing traditional manual passport stamping, the system digitally records biometric data including facial images and fingerprints alongside entry and exit details in real time. In the context of intelligent video analytics and traffic planning at major hubs like airports or border checkpoints, the EES is a critical factor, as compliance with these regulations directly links to the optimization of passenger flows and wait times.

For airports the implemntation EES means long queues, unpredictable wait times, and a weak passenger experience. Learn more about how to optimize EES queues with existing security cameras.
