Fingerprint identification

Efficiency is the watchword for all homeland security agencies, whether border control or police – and everyone in between.

To this end there is a demand both for central biometrics databases to identify individuals and for efficient and relevant query systems. People want immediate results with quick and accurate match results as they work and this demands intuitive, easy-to-use solutions.

Steria Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is meeting this need. It is a new standard in AFIS software, increasing the capacity of homeland security agencies to protect and fight crime more effectively than ever. SteriaAFIS delivers match results as you work. Processing takes seconds rather than minutes and it’s so intuitive that training is almost redundant.

Getting results: highly accurate, SteriaAFIS uses multiple fingers to maximise result reliability, including single-finger, tenprints, palm and latents all within a single platform. The fast matcher allows for a full 20-finger search in less than two seconds using both rolled and flat-impression fingerprints, which increases the probability of a match for poor quality fingerprints. 

User friendly: SteriaAFIS is intuitive to use and search results are shown with incredible speed. This makes using it a pleasure and work efficiency is increased accordingly. SteriaAFIS is also easy to install and upgrade. It processes data in all resolutions, including mixed-resolution data sets, and works in multiple languages. Naturally it’s in full compliance with ANSI/NIST, ISO and FBI standards.

A wise investment: the minimised hardware requirement and attractive software cost make economic sense and mean your total investment is significantly less than with other options. Furthermore, as SteriaAFIS is fully scalable, users have the flexibility to increase processing capacity with little further investment.

Freedom to build the system of your choice: non-reliant on proprietary hardware and image transmission software, SteriaAFIS gives users the freedom to configure the system best suited to their needs.
