Biometrics is defined as measurable physiological and / or behavioral
characteristics that can be utilized to uniquely verify the identity of an individual.
Biometrics employs techniques that are able to detect and recognize individuals
by drawing out unique patterns.
Main areas include:
- Hand Geometry
- Fingerprint Verification
- Retinal and Iris Scanning
- Voice Patterns Recognition
- Facial Recognition
Biometrics techniques were employed primarily in specialist high security applications. However in the recent past, Biometrics has been used in other areas, notably:
- Time Attendance & Work-force Management
- Access control
- Identification cards
- Immigration checks
- Police records
- Security systems
- Patient management in hospitals
- Customer and Supplier identification
- Membership management in clubs, libraries etc.
- Public welfare programs management
- Preventing identity theft
- Enterprise network security
- Transaction management
- Banking, ATM’s
System Partners Finger Print Reader
System Partners Finger Print-Reader employs the Biometrics’ finger-print
verification techniques to give unique identification and user-verification
services based on finger patterns of all officers in the organization.
The finger print-reader will offer you an efficient and accurate means
of verifying the identity of every officer in the entire organization in the
most cost-effective manner.
System Partners Finger Print-Reader can easily be integrated into
other existing systems and processes, thereby offering you advanced
authentication and validation features that are will adapt to you existing
working environment.
How it works
The fingerprint-reader uses a fingerprint sensor and a built-in camera to
capture finger-print patterns and uses these patterns to verify against
existing patterns
Key Advantages
- Lightweight – can be used anywhere.
- Easy to use and handle
- Easy integration with existing systems
- Affordable – easy to deploy and install
- Buddy punching safe- only the recorded fingerprint can access
the system - Relatively Fast in recognizing – varying recognition speeds from 5 to 15 seconds
Key Areas of Application
- Time and Attendance Systems
- Agricultural application – identifying farmers who supply produce
- Access Control Systems
- Patient Identification Systems – at Health-service provision centers
- Personal Identification
Key Areas of Application
The Fingerprint-reader can be easily integrated with existing systems. By connecting the reader to a computer, you can achieve the verification through the fingerprint-reader and the normal operations using the computer.
Thereafter the validated users can access services at any point and all they have to do is use the finger-print reader to verify that they are the authenticate
users at the point of service delivery.
Once the finger-print is authenticated, a search is automatically done in the existing transaction management system whereby all the previous transactions are located. New transactions can then be entered and saved in the database.
This integration will be seamlessly done to ensure maximum efficiency with minimum inconvenience to the farmer.
