Well accepted

Accurate

Provides indisputable proof of ID

You can’t get much simpler than a fingerprint!


Biometric Finger Scanning

Finger is scanned

The original finger-scan image is discarded.It is impossible to recreate the fingerprint from this data

Unique points are identified

Points transferred to a binary number

Number is encrypted and equals the student’s ID number

Privacy is insured!


Differences Between Student Identification Software and

Law Enforcement Applications

Student Identification Software Law Enforcement Applications

Uses flat images of only two fingers to create digital templates of minutia

Captures rolled images of all 10 fingers

Flat images reveal the center of the finger and require only a minimum of unique identifying points in order to make a match

Rolled images capture unique identifying points on the entire finger surface in order to collect the maximum number of unique identifying points

The purpose is to identify a student already enrolled in the software

The purpose is to identify suspects based on fingerprint images directly taken from a crime scene

Wood County Public Schools

“On some days, more than 80% of students would show up for lunch without their cards. Lines backed up, mistakes were made… With all of the lost, stolen and damaged cards, sometimes I thought Food Service was in the card business!”

Beverly E. Blough MS,RD,LD


Mannheim Public Schools

“Our goal was simple: find a way to guarantee the security of the students’ accounts.”Mary Moyer, PRSBS- Director Food Service


Lauderdale County Public Schools

“This was the best start to the school year I’ve had in 21 years. The Kindergarten students are just soaring through the line in record time…identiMetrics works!”Debbie Romine, CNP Cafeteria Manager


Thurmond High School

Greg ThompsonPrincipal

“Students adapted quickly. They no longer need to look for their cards, get replacement cards, go to the end of the line when they don’t have their cards, feel embarrassed if they are on free or reduced lunch, or spend time in detention for not having their cards. Now, students ALWAYS have their ID with them!”
