Happy New Year and 2011 Installation - Loyang Secondary School

Happy New Year to all our readers of this fingerprint blog and wishing all a Fruitful 2011 ahead.

Well, late Dec and in Jan 2011, we are busy with schools' project and one of them is at Loyang Secondary School.

This school is in Pasir Ris and they have installed 11 units of the FS20 Fin'Lock units in the general office, staff rooms, HOD rooms, Labs and special function rooms. As the tender was awarded in late Dec, Hense Technology managed to complete the installation and commission of all the 11 units in 5 days just in time for the new school year.

Photo shows the FS20 Fin'Lock installed at the General Office. It replaced the previous fingerprint unit from competitor that is inferior in performance.

This photo shows our additional service offered to remove the competitor fingerprint reader from the General Office to a special room as the usage of the room is limited so the inferior performance can be tolerated.

Another school reference for our potential schools considering to use fingerprint technology for access control and time attendance.

Nicole Green Condo - Using Fingerprint Technology for Residents Access

Nicole Green is a condo in the east side of Singapore and the management has selected Hense Technology to be the supplier for their fingerprint access control system for the residents. This will provide better security for the residents as now only registered residents can enter the condo.

 A total of 5 units of the FS21M fingerprint readers were installed with one unit at each lift lobby (four lobbies) and one unit at the main entrance.  As shown in the photo on the right, the fingerprint reader is mounted at the lift lobby entrance next to the intercom. So should an outsider enter the condo area, he/she is still unable to go up to the resident floors as the lift lobby is secured only allowing registered residents to access with the FS21M fingerprint readers.

Since the Futronic FS21M is splash-proof, it is installed at the main gate in the outdoor with a protective cover. As shown in the photo, the clear cover provides the user easy access for the finger and also shield it from rain. This Nicole Green and the NJC installation shows our Fingerprint Readers can be mounted outdoor.

Now, residents of Nicole Green can feel more secure knowing only registered residents can only access their condo area inspite being near to a high activity area (Geylang).

Nov Installation - National Junior College Staff Rooms and Student Time Attendance

One of our latest installation is at National Junior College (NJC) with our partner Simplex, for access control for Staff Rooms, HOD rooms and General office plus Students' Time Attendance with SMS notifications.

HOD Room and Staff Room main access with FS20 Fingerprint unit. This unit is mounted outdoor with a presentable cover.

Students' Time Attendance System from the EZ-link card readers to the biometric Fingerprint Readers.

Six FS20 Fingerprint Readers were installed at the various strategic locations NJC where students will come through like the main lobby, canteen and hostel entrance.

First Vietnam Customer - My Duc and Aquarius by the Park

Our first Vietnam customer is My Duc a public listed ceramic tile manufacturer, who will be using the FS20 reader for their 300++ employees for Time Attendance.

Our latest project is at Aquarius by the Park at the Bedok Reservoir where the management office is using the FS20 for staff Time Attendance. Due to the many bad press about fingerprint technology in other projects, the management wants to ensure they are satisfied with Hense's solution before moving to access control for the condo.

Expanding to Vietnam

Well we have been busy with other projects including our expansion to Vietnam. For those who have not been to Ho Chi Minh City before or lately, there have been much changes including a new modern airport and new under construction 68-storeys commerical builiding in downtown (photo on the right).

Even the National ID card will be changed from using the paper to high tech laminated plastic card with 2D barcode and two thumbprints. So watch out for the next Asia rising dragon - Vietnam.
