BadgeMaker 5500 software package with iris scan recognition can store iris templates and ID photographs in a central database.DALLAS, TX (PRWEB) December 10, 2004 -- At Cartes & IT Security 2004, the leading global ID technology event held in Paris from November 2-4, ScreenCheck B.V. showcased its BadgeMaker 5500 software package upgraded to include iris scan recognition. The BadgeMaker 5500 security solution has thus become a one-of-a-kind identity and security system combining iris scan recognition with a demographics database and printout of identification badges.We are very excited about integrating iris scan recognition into our BadgeMaker 5500 software package. As ScreenCheck continuously anticipates developments in the market, in the fields of ID cards, loyalty cards, contactless-chip card applications, as well as finger and hand biometrics, we are pleased to be able to offer iris scan recognition integrated with ScreenChecks new BadgeMaker version, said Bertrand Pelletier, General Manager of ScreenCheck North America.The BadgeMaker 5500 software package offers the perfect solution for one-pass card personalization and encoding, with the ability to design and personalize ID cards on demand and to produce them on an as-needed basis. Whenever an organization requires a higher level of ID security, coupled with the desire to keep the critical card-personalization process in house for maximum control and efficiency, the BadgeMaker 5500 solution easily makes use of an organizations existing database, through the ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) standard. Thus, the BadgeMaker 5500 solution can immediately connect with existing databases such as Oracle or Microsoft Access, or to an SQL server, with absolutely no impact on existing content whatsoever.Under the auspices of the United Nations, the BadgeMaker 5500 system with iris scan recognition was recently field-tested in Central Africa as the Rapid Deployment Iris Registration System, within the scope of a UNDP (United Nations Development Program) project. Developed and deployed by BioID Technologies (www.bioidtech.com), the system, comprising a powerful personal computer, an LG 2200 iris camera, a facial camera, and an ID card printer, produced ID badges directly at any location, accommodating up to 500 registrations per day. Data captured at any site was transferred by satellite to a centralized database, thus allowing daily updates and access to all information from any workstation in the field. With rapid data acquisition and retrieval, the BadgeMaker 5500 with iris scan recognition thus became a foolproof identification and verification mechanism.During the project, when local ex-combatants handed in their weapons, they were rewarded with an official identification badge and benefits card produced using ScreenChecks BadgeMaker 5500. Data was stored in a central database, containing individual records that could be updated at any time for identification and registration purposes. UNDP staff were able to keep track of ex-combatants in terms of numbers and received benefits.Combining high-accuracy iris scan recognition with mobile card personalization certainly widens our horizons in terms of deployment option for our distributed workforce, marveled a chief human-resource officer while visiting the ScreenCheck exhibit at Cartes &IT Security in Paris.About ScreenCheck B.V.ScreenCheck is a leading supplier of innovative image-carrying identity card solutions.
