Improvements in Biometrics - Boon for Industry

The World of Biometrics is changing rapidly with implementations of new technologies. If we consider the biometrics technology few years ago, we will find the usage and application with features were limited. But now-a-days many modern technologies are implemented which has made it a part of our day-to-day life. From office to corporate buildings to security zones, everywhere it plays a vital role.

Biometrics is not only limited to attendance machine, but it can be used for access control and other applications like canteen management, gym management and visitor management. Star Link India has implemented and updated its systems and solutions according to the latest trend with upcoming advancements. Through this blog, I would like to focus on few major improvements, done by Star Link India. These changes and updations in their devices/machines and softwares have created a kind of boon in the industry. These updations are user specific and make the systems and solutions more versatile in uses.

1. GPRS/Wi-Fi connectivity: Looking at the complexities in LAN wiring and connectivity, Star Link made their systems based on GPRS and Wi-Fi. Now, the attendance devices can also be connected to the server through GPRS and Wi-Fi, which allows it to use in far-off areas where there is no source of LAN connectivity. Now, the usage of these machines is increasing more and more as it can be used anywhere without worrying for its connectivity.

2. Camera for double verification: To cross verify the presence of the employee and stop the proxy punching, a camera is installed on the devices. As, sometimes other employees use the other's card to mark attendance, but now the use of the camera in the device helps to cross verify the attendance of employee by clicking his/her image while punching.

3. Touch screen device: In the era of touch screen smartphones, Star Link India developed the touchscreen attendance device. The touch screen sensitivity helps easier user interface.

4. Data Push Technology: Earlier the data were to be fetched on a regular basis. But looking at the usage, Data Push Technology has been implemented which pushes the data (like punching details) from the machine to the server as soon as the punching is done. This has helped with the fast processing of data and records, reducing time loss.

5. Printer incorporated into the machine: The Industrial Device used for Canteen Management System, is featured with the printer. While placing the order you have to show your Card, which verifies your identity and thus a coupon is generated through the machine. The printer works after your identity is verified and if you want to print manually, it's not possible.

6. Web-based software: Earlier the Time Office Software, Visitor Management Software, Leave Management System and Data Capture software were window based, so they were limited to the number of PCs. But now these softwares are available in Web-based, which allows the user to access the software from any part of the world with internet enable devices. This major change has really helped a lot to maintain the records of employees from any part.

7. Card Recharge option for Canteen Management System: A recent implementation in the canteen management system is card recharge options. This allows the employees to recharge their smart cards with certain denominations. Now every time the employees use that card for availing the service of the canteen, the amount is deducted from that card.

8. Some of other unique solutions: Looking at the demands and needs of the clients, Star Link India developed few solutions which were unique in itself. They are Gym management system, Tea Garden Solutions, SMS Solutions and Online/Offline Canteen management System.

Lastly, Star Link India is still trying to implement some more technologies in their systems and solutions which will be fruitful for the industry. We aim to incorporate latest technologies to match up with the recent trend in the market. So, if you are planning to update your systems and solutions, get Star Link India is the right choice.
