Sheng Siong Supermarket - embracing Hense's Fingerprint Technology for Access Control, Time Attendance,

One of our customers in October is Sheng Siong Supermarket, who is a forwarding looking supermarket chain embracing new technology like Fingerprint technology throughout their operations for enhanced security, accurate staff salary computation and productivity. 

We have completed our FS20 Fingerprint Readers installation in Sheng Siong HQ at Mandai Link for access control to their offices and stores. The left photo shows the FS20 Fingerprint reader mounted at the 3rd floor main access to the offices in the building. A difficult installation as the wiring need to be hidden and also the two glass doors are higher than most office doors but we managed to complete the installation to cusotmer's expectation.

Also, Sheng Siong's IT team is currently using our FS80 USB fingerprint scanner to explore other applications in their operation to enhance security. More updates in due course.

Sheng Siong has started using our competitor's fingerprint system for their staff time attendance at the outlets as shown in the left photo,  ZK Software LED scanner model. However, for this system, the data need to be downloaded into the USB thumbdrive and individually uploaded to HR server as they are not networked, unlike the FS20 readers that are network-based, so the data at each outlet are sent directly to the server database in Sheng Siong HQ. Also, there are issues with staff fingerprint with this reader as staff do have wet fingers after handling the cold/wet items. Thus, we have started to replace this LED fingerprint scanner with Hense FS20 Fingerprint Reader and will be deployed in phases to all Sheng Siong outlets.

Photo shows the transition phase with two different fingerprint readers mounted, notice the FS20 is this enclosure while the ZK model will be removed.



So, here is another example that Futronic Fingerprint readers outperforms our competitors with features like network-based linking to central server, robust and reliable scanner module and a technology that can handle wet, dry, oily and dirty fingers. Convinced? then contact Hense Technology for a full demo before you install your fingerprint system.

Replacement of LED based Fingerprint Reader with Futronic FS20 at a Factory

We have tried to educate fingeprint technology users that not all fingerprint scanners have the same quality and reliability, silicon based scanners of course are easier damaged while LED scanner with membrane have reliability issues. Here is a customer who has used a LED based fingerprint readers but the scanner keeping getting damaged due to membrane drying up and scratches. We have successfully replaced these LED fingerprint readers with Futronic FS20 Reader which uses a maintenance-free scanner based on optical glass prism without any membrane.

Competitor's Fingerprint reader using LED scanner with membrane

Replaced with Futronic FS20 Readers using the same enclosure and the original cables including the ethernet cables.

Left Photo shows original competitor unit at the security guardhouse and was replaced with Futronic FS20 Reader using the same mounting and cables as shown on the Right Photo.

So, customers who are still using the membrane based LED Fingerprint scanners, you have the option to change to the more robust, reliable and maintenance-free Optical Glass prism Fingerprint Readers from Futronic using existing mounting and cabling as shown in this project.

Customer NBE at Natural Cool Building

One of our customer NBE International at Natural Cool Building is using a Single FS20 Fingerprint Reader to control two separate doors to the office.

In this case, the staff can enter the office by either doors after presenting their finger on the reader.

Another innovative idea from Hense Technology. If you have an specific or special requirement on the fingerprint technology, do contact us for a discussion. I am confident that you will be surprised at the many applications you can do with your fingers.

Another customer - Goodrich the wallpaper specialist

Our latest customer, Goodrich the wallpaper and wall covering specialist has chosen our FS20 Fingerprint Reader for their staff Time Attendance and Access Control. Location is at their corporate building in Changi South.

Here is one of the location at the entrance to their gallery, look at the beautiful wall covering where the FS20 Fingerprint Reader is mounted. 8 units were installed in the GoodRich building where 2 units are strictly for Time Attendance and 6 units for access to key locations including the stores. The fingerprint TA help them to automate their payroll which is very complex as they have many staff on different shifts plus overtime since they can work during odd hours.

Well, the name itself reflect the success of the company GOOD n RICH.

More Unauthorized access to HDB Rooftops

Just reported in the past 3 days, more authorized access to HDB roof tops. So will changing to high quality locks about S$50 each prevent future unauthorized access? Can people still prise open the latches with the change to high quality locks? Well, following photos tells the truth:

          

 

Notice lock latch is incorrectly mounted.

For older roof top access, here are the concerns:

Certainly, to spend $10M on the lock change, it can be used to upgrade to a more secure, automated and efficient biometric system.
