Fingerprint Technology White Paper
Fingerprint matching is a widely used biometric technology because of its ease of use, non-intrusiveness and reliability. The article starts by discussing two main algorithm families commonly used to recognize fingerprints: minutia-based and pattern-based matching. These two methods evaluate fingerprint images in different ways; both methods’ advantages and disadvantages are compared to each other. FingerTec’s continued research and development work in fingerprint matching has led to a more reliable and efficient biometric technology, the FingerTec solution. Thus, the article will also explain the method applied in FingerTec solutions, minutia-based matching, as well as documenting the overall algorithm performance.

Face Recognition
 
Face Recognition Technology White Paper
Face recognition is an increasingly important biometric authentication technology because of its aptness in various applications (notably law enforcement and security systems), its tokenless, contactless nature and the maturity of the digital camera technology with competitive prices. The article begins by discussing two main face recognition algorithms; principal component analysis (PCA) in 2D face recognition, and the four modules used in 3d face recognition. A comparison is then made before the article continues by explaining the FingerTec face recognition algorithm technology that combines both 2D and 3D techniques. The algorithm performance is then analyzed at the end of the article.

Schematic Diagram of FingerTec
The FingerTec solution encompasses time attendance and access control functionalities via biometric and card technology. The schematic diagram explains the main processes of FingerTec hardware. The data is captured and sent to the core board via its microprocessor. The hardware’s SD RAM saves and verifies this data before sending its results to the main control unit (MCU). The results are then used to output commands to the hardware. The device connects to computer via TCP/IP, RS232, RS485, WiFi, GPRS or USB flash disk. Users can setup unique attendance calculation rules or handle access control by using FingerTec TCMS V2 or Ingress software. Software expertise can use BioBridge SDK or Webster SDK to develop their own PC-based or Web-based solution.

Managing Hotel Employees Effectively
Human resources are a crucial part of managing the hotel industry. As such, the article begins by listing a few of the issues in the hotel industry, mainly the need to adopt an automated, foolproof attendance system that streamlines the process in one centralized server. Biometrics is then explained as an effective solution to curb time theft by eliminating buddy punching, as well as to reduce overall staff absenteeism, turnover and tardiness. Conclusively, FingerTec’s TCMS V2 is then used to exemplify how automated attendance systems can increase payroll calculation efficiency by automating processes and standardizing reports while centrally managing employee data from headquarters.

Reduce the Intricacies of Nurse Scheduling Management in Healthcare Industry with Biometric Implementation
Healthcare is a very delicate industry, as the management of its nurses can have a direct correlation with the quality of care given to hospital patrons. The article thus discusses the issues found with nurses scheduling, mainly the five main considerations behind its planning and how different schedules can fulfill different areas of consideration. TCMS V2 addresses these issues by increasing human resource efficiency, minimizing human bias factor and providing a cost-effective solution to healthcare organizations. This is possible as TCMS V2 completely automates most of the tasks previously involved in managing nurses’ schedules and attendance.

Higher Education
     
Highlighting The Importance of TIME ATTENDANCE SYSTEM in the Higher Education Industry for Students
Education plays a major role in our lives and when it comes to higher learning institutes, such as colleges and universities, it is very important to attend each and every class for students to be able to not only learn the entire syllabus, but in the case for most higher learning institutes, the more classes you attend, the higher the chance of being able to sit for your final exams, which in turn determines your final grade for graduation. Absenteeism in the higher education industry is not a new issue, it’s been practised by students for years yet the lax attitude of authority in handling abseentism could lead to disastrous impacts on the students themselves, their families and the image of the school in general.

Restaurant Management
     
Staff Management in Restaurants - Issues in Tracking, Scheduling and Other Aspects
In the country, the industry’s job growth outpaced the nation’s overall economy in 13 consecutive years from 2000 to 2012, proving its ability to sustain itself even during periods of economic recession. The restaurant industry is projected to employ 13.1 million people (roughly 10% of the U.S. available workforce) in 2013 and market trends predict that it will continue to rise by 9% over the next decade. The previous statistics are also indicative of global trends in the food & beverage industry, particularly ‘full-service’ (conventional) and ‘quick-service’ (fast-food) restaurants, and managing the large number of employees involved often implicates the same, universal issues that plague other industries.

Manufacturing
     
Biometric Implementations to monitor Time Attendance in the Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing encompasses various industries, such as food and beverage products, textiles, furniture and chemical products, but is generally most associated with companies that specialize in engineering and industrial design. Some examples of major companies involved in the manufacturing sector include General Electric, Siemens and Toyota. Some of these companies house a huge number of employees and this in turn comes with several issues pertaining to employees’ time and attendance. This definitely will affect the industry as productivity is crucial in order for manufacturing companies to succeed and with cases such as absenteeism and tardiness getting in the way of employee productivity, this will cause the industry to suffer losses.

Safeguarding the Privacy of Patients’ Data in the Healthcare Industry through Access Control
Prior to the introduction of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), there never existed a set of security standards or general requirements for protecting health information in the healthcare industry. At the same time, new technologies were steadily evolving and the healthcare industry have started to move away from paper processes by relying more on the use of computers to pay claims, answer eligibility questions, provide health information and conduct a host of other administrative and clinically based functions. For example, in order to provide more efficient access to critical health information, covered entities are using web-based applications and other “portals” that give physicians, nurses, medical staff as well as administrative employees more access to electronic health information.
