Car and Biometric Engines: A Sum of Their Parts

My brother, ten years my elder, is an automobile mechanic. He"s also a software and chemical engineer, but I digress.

He"s always had a passion for tinkering. While we were growing up, he would spend countless hours in the garage and driveway working on cars. It was a good thing, too, because the family"s fleet of cars was always in need of maintenance.

An expert mechanic, he could fix anything given the time and resources. Once, I even helped him replace an entire engine in his car. That was an experience. We spent several days disconnecting the various tubes from the old engine, lifting it out of the car, replacing it with a new engine, and reconnecting everything. There were moments of frustration, but surprisingly few considering what we accomplished in a matter of days.

My brother has enough experience to rebuild a carburetor, but even he would have little interest in building an entire car engine. For one thing, it"s unnecessary. But perhaps even more importantly, imagine the level of additional frustration that it would have added to our project.

A Better Alternative to a Biometric SDK

The decision to build and integrate a biometric recognition system is no different. Many software engineers have the acumen to work with a low-level biometric SDK and build a system from scratch, but what if the complete system was already available? Wouldn"t it be easier to develop a few hooks into an existing enterprise-ready platform rather than spend months developing the entire system from the ground up?

As luck would have it, such a pre-developed biometric software platform already exists. Bio-Plugin"", a solution from M2SYS Technology, removes the headache from biometric system development and support. Unlike a low-level biometric SDK, Bio-Plugin"" can be rapidly integrated into any Windows or Web software in just a few hours. In addition, Bio-Plugin"" is never compiled with the host application at runtime, making ongoing support and maintenance a breeze.

M2SYS" latest innovation is called Bio-Plugin"" Hybrid Server. This solution supports four different biometric readers "" fingerprint, finger vein, palm vein, and iris recognition "" all from a single platform. This means that developers who are interested in adding biometrics to their software can choose from any of these modalities after a single integration. The alternative "" integrating and supporting four different biometric SDKs "" seems like a senseless approach.
