Ministry of Manpower MOM - Employment Pass Centre


This is the new MOM office for Employment Pass Centre in The Riverwalk at Upper Circular Road. If you don't know the location, it is between Boat Quay and Clarke Quay.

At this MOM centre, we installed 5 units of the FS20 for door access in their backend offices and the server room. This project is through NEC Asia completed in June 2009.

Tanjong Katong Secondary School - Fingerprint Time Attendance

Well, this installation at Tanjong Katong Secondary have a nostalgic effect on me since it is my secondary school from 1974 to 1978 when the school was in Tanjong Katong Road. During that time, there is a technical program from Sec 3 to Sec 4 and was Tanjong Katong Technical Secondary School. The old campus is now a student hostel while the tuckshop (which we used to call) is now a public food court.
Six Fingerprint units were installed in this school for whole school students' time attendance. For this installation, the server program was hosted on a separate PC from the server managed by HP allowing quick and hassle-fee installation and implementation.
These six FS20 Fin'Lock units were installed in different locations such as in the canteen, parade-square, side-gate, main block and library. Guess these TKS students will have fun and experience to use their fingers to clock in their daily attendance.

Irish Pubs using fingerprint technology


Gaelic Inns managed several Irish Pubs in Singapore including Penny Black and Murphy Pubs and has started to use fingerprint technology for their staff Time Attendance. Project is developed with inhouse IT guy.





This reference is a good example  that shows Futronic Fingerprint scanner can work well in a wet environment whereby the staff are handling drinks and chilled glasses all the time. As compared to an early deployment, Pay-By-Touch from Citibank in Zouk and other outlets, there were teething problems with wet fingers. Of course, in a pub customers fingers will be wet after getting the drinks thus other fingerprint scanners were unable to scan the wet fingers. So much on this Pay-By-Touch, as the parent company in US no longer exist.
