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.

Simple, Efficient and Effective e_Passport Grantry with Fingerprint scanner

Here is a photo of an E_Passport Gantry to be used in a neighbouring country with fingerprint verification. See how simple and efficient it is, with a passport scanner and a Hense supplied FS88 FBI-certified Fingerprint scanner.

Only 2 steps to use the automated border control gantry.  ONE - Put your passport into the passport scanner, it will read your detailed information and display your photo.  TWO - place your finger on the FS88 Fingerprint scanner and if you are the rightful owner and the finger matched, wolah! the gate opens and you are throught.............

Dec Installations

Wishing all readers and friends, A belated MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy and Prosperous New Year 2010

Have been busy with few installations in the last 3 weeks of Dec and here are some of them. Vision Zenith - a high security company

Next is Alcon a medical equipment and supplies company in Sin Ming. They have decided to replace the card system with Hense Fingerprint System for both the main office entrance and the store room, which needs to track the staff access due to the high value equipments.

Decillion, a software company under NEC group in Shenton Way. Yes customers are now more comfortable to use fingerprint access and certainly this trend will continue to 2010. Happy New Year...

Schools Schools - Dimensions at Kovan

Hi Readers, apologized for the missing update last week, it is because I was swamped with the various fingerprint tenders in GEBIZ for schools. Over the past 2 weeks, I have seen about 8 fingerprint related tenders like:
Cresent Girls
Jurong Secondary
Victoria Junior College
Bukit View
Fernvale Primary
ITE-West
Tanjong Katong Secondary

Well, we tender either through Hense or with our partners for some of them. Fingers crossed..... waiting for the good news....... then the crazy rush to do the installation before Jan 4 when schools start.

========================================================

This week's reference site of course will be school related:

Private institution Dimension at Kovan MRT

Together with our partner Zringgo, we installed 4 system of fingerprint Time Attendance units in Dimension so as the students attendance is automated and also a huge saving for them by dropping the card system. Dimension has over 2,000 students so using cards will be very costly and also have " buddy punching" problem, but with fingerprint solution provide a cost effective and reliable solution.

One interesting course they offer is Diploma in Food Preparation and Culinary Arts - the path to Famous Chef !!!!!!!!!! Guess they must offer good quality food on campus with such courses for the food industry.

Check Dimension out if you are in Kovan MRT area, BTW my company Hense is at Blk 212, Hougang St 21.
