Boulder Imaging Unveils World’s First CDI2-compliant Software For Central Banks

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- Boulder Imaging, a leader in machine vision and artificial intelligence solutions, has unveiled the world’s first Common Detector Interface 2 (CDI2)-compliant software for central banks.

Combined with Authentix GemVision sensors and image processing and fitness algorithms, this pioneering software is designed to deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy in banknote authentication and quality assessment.

“Through Boulder Imaging’s leadership, CDI2 has transitioned from a technical specification to an operational reality, increasing yield and reducing costs for central banks.

“We remain committed to delivering innovative tools that ensure speed, accuracy, and scalability for years to come,” said Boulder Imaging president and chief operating officer, Don Mills in a statement.

Developed by the United States Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, the CDI2 standard represents a significant advancement for central banks globally, as the solution standardises banknote inspection, reduces currency waste, optimises 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, in which the software assesses the quality of each banknote at a rate of 40 notes per second, with an accuracy rate exceeding 99.99 per cent.

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.

The industry-wide adoption of CDI2 is expected to revolutionise currency management, enabling central banks to select the most suitable detection technologies from multiple suppliers.

Boulder Imaging is well-positioned to provide flexible and customisable solutions as the banknote industry embraces this new standard. It allows central banks to optimise their banknote management processes and accommodate future security features and materials for next-generation banknotes.
