Document Checking in Challenging Environments

Each year, the ID and secure document industry produces tens of millions of documents that require fast and reliable examination to confirm their authenticity. Doculus Lumus® is a mobile document checking device from charismaTec that was developed specifically for use in the often challenging environments of document checking for border management, law enforcement, security printing and banking.

charismaTec was founded in May 2010 by IT graduates Sandra Slavinec and Dieter Lutzmayr with the goal of providing innovative and niche-market RFID applications, IT services and automation technology solutions. With the support of Austrian police document expert Matthias Draxler, the company has developed the Doculus Lumus mobile document checking device using locally sourced components and manufacturing.

Doculus Lumus is designed to work from 2AAA batteries (also rechargeable batteries), or a rechargeable Li-ion battery, making it highly flexible for fieldwork, and has robust housing that has been drop tested to 1.5m. It comes standard with x15 or x22 magnification, four white incident light LEDs (full and rotating), four strong UV LEDs @365 nm, eight LEDs for automatic or manual rotating oblique light and torchlight mode.

From the beginning of 2021, the company has been working to make the device customisable to the particular needs of customers. Optional modules include a front UV torch 365 nm, an RFID ICAO quick check for ePassports, an IR laser @ 980 nm for Anti-Stokes particles and IR LED @ 870 nm, as well as a four UVC LEDs to view 254 nm features.

With an examination time of 30 seconds, the company has proven that Doculus Lumus meets the demanding requirements of fast document checking on the frontline.
