Biometrics 2006 will be the worldwide launchpad of the Rimax Staff On Time
Palm Scan, a palm reader which uniquely identifies users by their palm
print, rather than the geometry of their hand. Exclusive UK distributor
Databac Group will demonstrate the ease of use and extreme efficiency of
Palm Scan in access control and time and attendance applications. Tests
have shown the percentage of false negative reads as low as 0.1 per cent.
The contactless reader can be wall-mounted behind a window, making it both
weather- and vandal-proof, as well as 100% hygienic. More details of Palm
Scan will be available nearer the time of the show.
The full range of Staff On Time fingerprint systems will also be on
display. These high-tech yet genuinely low-cost solutions put biometric
technology within reach of businesses of all sizes.
During the event, Databac will show how biometric templates can be captured
and encoded onto smart cards, using a Datacard SP series printer and its
popular Dataimage ID software. This simple method enables the
personalization of credentials to work with biometric systems: fingerprints
or palm prints are verified against the template held on the card, rather
than on a central database, for double security and ultra-fast
verification.
Databac managing director Charles Balcomb commented: "We are very excited
about the new Palm Scan reader and are eager to show its capability. This
new product, as well as the Staff On Time fingerprint range show that
biometric technology is no longer future technology. It's here now, working
hard, extremely reliable, highly secure and surprisingly cheap and simple
to use."
Also on the stand will be the Staff On Time Palm Vein solution and BioSmart
technology.
