Mentalix's Fed Submit™ Card Processing Allows Made-To-Order, High-Volume
Fingerprint Card Scanning
PLANO, Texas -- Mentalix, Inc. announces announces the immediate
availability of its newest addition to the company's Fed Submit
fingerprint scanning software line, Fed
Submit Card Processing. The system, which runs on Microsoft®
Windows® XP/2000 Professional and Microsoft® SQL Server 2000, enables
the use of multiple, off-the-shelf, flatbed scanners to scan and
convert inked fingerprint cards to the FBI-accepted NIST/EFTS electronic
format. The software provides an interface for scanning fingerprint
or palm print cards at either 500 or 1000 ppi (pixels per inch),
scanning related documents and photos that can be associated with
the fingerprint record, creating electronic fingerprint files, checking
the data, tracking scan statistics, and publishing the files to
storage media. Suited both for one-time projects and ongoing processing
needs, Fed Submit Card Processing is targeted at service bureaus,
government agencies, national ID companies, state Automated Fingerprint
Identification Systems (AFIS), and large city agencies.
"We saw a marked increase in requests for card scanning solutions
that could be customized under extremely short turnaround deadlines,"
Mentalix President Brian Gross said. "We created Fed Submit Card
Processing as a service-based answer to this problem. This allows
us to work closely with the customer throughout the project and
provide ongoing support. We can apply our expertise in fingerprint
technology and customization to the requirements of a particular
project.
"We have already delivered solutions that efficiently handle in
the range of ten thousand cards per day," Gross continued. "For
our customers, there is no unknown pricing exposure and no burden
of providing specialized technology. We work with them directly
and scale the system to meet aggressive deadlines. The Fed Submit
Card Processing system is practical for any card conversion operation,
from jobs of just a few thousand cards up to tens of millions of
cards."
Mentalix can customize the Fed Submit Card Processing interface
to match a company's workflow and to support particular fingerprint
card templates. For example, the software can be configured to identify
cards based on serial numbers or barcodes. Such data can also be
used to match and import demographic data supplied from the customer's
database. Other options include the ability to process cards one
at a time or through batch processing, which allows the customer
to separate the scanning and demographic data input tasks. Quality
assurance tasks can also be performed at separate stations, if desired.
In addition, the software tracks scanning rates and input errors
by user, thereby providing a means to reward scan station operators
based on performance.
All of Mentalix's Fed
Submit products comply with the FBI's IAFIS (Integrated Automated
Fingerprint Identification System) standards for both ten-print
card scanning and live scans, as applicable. The software meets
ANSI/NIST fingerprint submission requirements, upon which virtually
all state, federal and civilian agencies' identification systems
are based; data fields can be customized to meet the formatting
requirements for specific agencies. Fed Submit can be expanded or
scaled down to accommodate the needs of small departments or large
companies. Options include: FBI-certified card printing, submissions
from multiple workstations or locations, limited-access workstations
for conducting administrative tasks, barcode recognition, customization
to match workflow, batch processing, and custom report generation.
