Star
Link India is a leading and pioneer company in Biometrics Attendance
System and Access Control Solutions. The main motive of our team is
to incorporate the recent technology with our device to make it more
efficient. Till now we were presenting you our solutions and devices
we have developed as per the trends and requirements. Few of the
solutions like Canteen management system linked with Industrial Model
with printer; then guard tracking system with industrial model and
SMS module are few outstanding state-of-the-art technology. But
always question arises in the mind of our clients that how we entered
in the industry and what led us to reach at the top of the said
industry (Biometrics Attendance System and Access Control Solution).
Through this blog, I would let you know the journey we have covered
till now to attain such position.
We
have entered in the manufacturing industry in 1996, and we started
manufacturing the calling equipments. We were the leading
manufacturer as well as the first manufacturer of Conference Calling
Equipment, which got a boom in the market trend. In 1998, Telecom
Department of Government of India approved our product. This was the
special achievement as Conference Calling Device from Star Link was
the first approved conference device by GOI.
Later
in late 2004 we entered in the field of Biometrics Attendance System
and with our own research and development team we manufactured
devices for attendance system. In 2005, we got the first and a major
project at Maruti Suzuki. There we installed, an attendance device
with card as a mode of operation. And till now the system at Maruti
Suzuki, is running smoothly without any major fault. And, the very
next year in 2006 we brought a fingerprint device on the market at
lower cost, which brought a kind of revolution in the market.
As
the time passed, it was pretty smooth for us to develop devices
incorporated with new technologies. In 2008, 32-bit ARM processor was
incorporated into our devices for better performance and efficiency.
Between 2009-2011, we revived the technologies in our solutions and
devices and presented to our clients according to their requirements.
In the course of development, we developed LINUX based model with
improved quality web interfaces and mail configuration (gmail).
In
2012, we developed the most advanced device, namely BIO-TRACK, a
handheld device packed with every feature. It is featured with the
touchscreen mode of operation, GPRS fro better connectivity from far
off areas, Wi-fi, inbuilt camera and a SIM slot. A lot more advanced
features were added to this product to match the client's
requirements.
Collaterally,
we developed solutions that served the purpose of our clients in a
better way. Data capture software was designed to manage the data
(fingerprint templates and employee details) of multiple machines
with a simple click. Likewise, Star Time Office Software reduced the
hassle of managing employees as it helped them to generate 100 types
of reports, including late arrivals, over times, holidays, leaves
etc, in .xls, .doc and .txt format. Later, Access Control System was
designed that helped to control 15 x 8 doors with a single software,
which was unique in its own way.
Then,
Canteen Management System was developed that helped to reduce the gap
between vendors and Management and easy handling of hundreds of
employees within minutes.
And
the most commendable solution developed is the Tea Garden Solution,
which was designed keeping in mind the problems faced by a tea garden
owner in his tea garden. This solution helped them to reduce the
manipulation and cheating done during the work.
Our
most of the software is a web based application, which allows user to
use it from any part of the world. It does not require to be
installed on systems. It can be used by multiple user at a time.
Simultaneously,
working with different level of clients from different industry, we
also made some amendments to serve their purpose effectively. We
added a feature of Time Zone (or Time Limit) in our solution which
limited access in a particular time period, employee wise/ department
wise.
Also,
incorporated the same in Vending machine to limit the usage employee
wise. Car Track management was developed to check the availability of
cars on the testing track. This helped to reduce the risk, also it
generated the reports including all details.
Also,
we made following amendments according to the client's requirements:-
・ Secure
enrollment of employee in the machine in remote locations through the
central server and voice guided message.
・ Data
transfer through USB, Wi-fi, GPRS.
・ Anti
Pass back, to provide authentication door wise and employee wise.
・ Audio
messages through different languages.
With
the love and support of our esteemed clients, we have been able to
reach at top position and achieve milestones. Our customers are the
core of our business, and satisfying them is the precondition for our
existence. We have been restless in our pursuit of the latest
technology, the highest quality and the most user friendly products.
We are passionate about exploring the latest that technology has to
offer. Since the start, our products have pushed the boundaries of
technology. With a uniquely independent R&D capacity, we design,
develop, manufacture, market, and sell our products ourselves. We
have full control over the entire supply chain, from our factories in
the hands of our customers. This way, we can design for the end
product in mind and ensure that only the best quality products reach
our customers.
Protecting the corporate assets is becoming more critical and challenging in today’s business environment. No matter what kind of data it is like an employee or customer data, company financial information, intellectual property data of the company, etc. all remain under threat and this is why enterprises have dedicated teams to look after the safety of this. No doubt enterprises have implemented more secure and stringent ways for the data safety, but are they enough.
We should not forget technology has not only advanced for us but it has also advanced for the criminals too. They are also using the same technology and posing a threat to the enterprises. As the gate of technology is opened for both, then what other means can be used by enterprises to protect their data.
Here comes the Biometric, which is more secure, safe, and reliable, after all, your biometrics like a fingerprint, IRIS, palm, face, and voice can’t be stolen. But as of now all major enterprises have developed or gone for the uni-modal authentication means using a single source for the purpose of authentication like either fingerprint or palm or IRIS or etc. But as the enterprise data is becoming critical, it’s time for them to move to the Multifactor Authentication Biometric model, where two or more sources as a combination should be used for authenticating a person, this will be a highly robust and secure way than ever. Let’s understand multimodal biometric model in more detail.
