Labcal SmartPrint Chosen By Indian Police Force For Time & Attendance
[December 21, 2003]
Labcal Technologies Inc., a Quebec-based company delivering authentication solutions based on fingerprint, smart card and public key cryptography technologies, is proud to announce that its SmartPrint solution has been chosen by the Director General and Inspector General of Police, in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, in order to satisfy the need for a highly secure time & attendance system.
Through its Indian affiliate, Labcal Biometric Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Labcal’s SmartPrint solution has already been installed and is being used at the office of the Director General and Inspector General of Police, in the city of Hyderabad. The solution deployed combines fingerprint-based biometric, smart card and PKI technologies. So far, of the 2,020 smart cards issued, some 300 employees have been using the time & attendance system for the past nine (9) months. Shortly, all 2,020 employees enrolled will be using the system.
The solution uses six (6) Labcal SmartPrint Sentry fingerprint and smart card readers, together with a time & attendance software application. The SmartPrint Sentry is a wall-mounted device, equipped with a fingerprint capacitive sensor that compares the reading of the user’s fingerprints with its biometric template previously stored in the user’s smart card. In 0.6 seconds, the authentication is processed. All activity logs, up to 30 000, are securely saved in the readers’ memory and transferred when needed to the administration.
"Labcal’s authentication solutions can be used in a wide range of applications,” said Ashok Kumar, Managing Director, Labcal Biometric Technologies Pvt. Ltd. “The deployment at the office of the Director General and Inspector General of Police in Hyderabad, for time and attendance, certainly proves that Labcal’s technology is perfectly suitable when conviviality and a high-level of security are required.”
"Our team in India, Labcal Biometric Technologies, skillfully lead the project and continues to keep Labcal well positioned in the security industry,” said Hugues Gervais, Vice-President of Business Development, Labcal Technologies Inc. “The Director General of Police is totally satisfied with Labcal’s solution and we are proud that many other projects are currently being conducted with success in India."
