Aware develops biometric software for Justice Department

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Aware has announced the development of its Next-Generation Universal Automated Booking Station (Universal ABS), a biometric enrollment application, for the United States Department of Justice.

The new solution was built off of Aware’s BioCompnents product family resulting in a modular software solutions rather than a hard-coded application, which means an organization, such as the Justice Department, would not have to rewrite the source code to use the same solution for different agencies and implementations within the department.


The new solution works on either a Microsoft Windows operating system or in an Internet browser-based application.

It ships in individual software modules with each having its own interface, biometric autocapture functionality, image processing, image analysis and peripheral capture device abstraction. Bundling the solution as individual modules enables customers to utilize, configure and customize their own software solution from the Universal ABS quickly. [end]
