A truly state-of-the-art, self-sufficient border-pass document issuing system combined with the latest in image capture, biometrics and the most advanced in solar energy, power control and high quality inkjet printing.
A robust and tough, but rather elegant mobile system that is sophisticated as well as easy to carry, mount and operate. FABIS is your truly everywhere, anywhere, anytime production system for secure ID document. Whether it is sunny or clouded, day or night, FABIS will capture, print and issue up to 20 document per hour with secure biometric data. The touch screen and voice enabled operation makes it easy to operate by anyone, even those with minimum knowledge in working with computers. The fact that there is no need for the mouse nor the keyboard makes it ideal for the jungle or the desert.
FABIS can print on any media type and on different paper size; secure document whether it is a border pass, a birth certificate, a family card, a Refugee ID card, an emergency travel document or a voter registration card. The system operates with direct power supply, as well as carpet solar panel, but can also operate without any for up to 8 hours using its own supplied battery. The system also operates as an option, from a standard vehicle motor. The system is enhanced with Wireless connectivity as well as normal LAN network and mobile storage for direct connectivity with any central database.
The boxes are made of aluminum cases, which are custom-made and manufactured by the market world leader. The boxes are designed to efficiently utilize the space and protect all the components inside the box during data-capture and any shocks during the movement of the boxes. Every box is identified by a unique number which is configured inside the data-capture software to reflect the physical number allocated for the box when the document is printed.
In the case of border-pass issuing, FABIS can also be used to verify the authenticity of the pass-holder using the biometric data stored during the capture of the fingerprint, using both live captures as well as directly from the presented card. This added functionality allow for a stricter and safer border control.
