IdentiSys Case Studies

IdentiSys offers a wide range of solutions to help businesses and organizations meet their goals.

Corporate

A Texas airline company required their IDs have an expiration date. We wrote scripts that created expiration dates for the new ID cards issued. The script reads the month the ID is being created and created an expiration date two years after the card printed date. The expiration date is printed on the ID and a database logs the date of the card’s issuance, along with the expiration date. Airline Security is able to monitor the employee badges reaching their expiration date, and print replacement IDs for the staff.

A large festival required a limit on the number of representatives allowed per vendor. IdentiSys implemented a solution to manage the number of cards printed for a vendor and notify the operator when the card limit for a particular vendor has been reached. Although each vendor was limited to the number of staff allowed; badges for festival volunteers, security, contractors and festival staff badges could be printed without limits.

K-12 Schools

An elementary school wanted an enhanced visitor management system with additional security options and an instant alert system. The solution developed by IdentiSys includes checking the visitor’s credentials against the National Sex Offender Database and alerting school officials that an offender attempted to gain access. The instant alerts are sent via email and text messages to school officials so appropriate action can be taken.

A high school requires all students to wear a visible ID badge throughout the day for security. They have also incorporated this ID solution into their cafeteria, library and other on-site programs. Often times, the students misplace or forget their badges. The school wanted the ability to issue temporary badges in these cases. IdentiSys modified their current software and created a button on the production screen named TEMP CARD. Once the individual’s record is retrieved, the user selects this button and a temporary student ID card is printed from a thermal paper label printer. Having temporary badges for the students allows them to scan their bar code for lunch or other programs and helps maintain the safety of the school with only badged individuals allowed in the building.

Colleges & Universities

A Florida university sought a solution to accurately link ISO numbers to student photo IDs and to encode this information on the card for use at merchants. A user-friendly button was added to the production screen so the operator could click the button, and the program would select the next available ISO number from a separate pre-populated table and populate the ISO Number in the ID software’s production field. The information was then printed onto the card and the magnetic stripe was encoded. To help ensure proper tracking, the ISO number database marked the retrieved number as used in the ISO table. This automated system increased the issuance accuracy and helped to ensure that the correct number is matched to the correct student. The student is then given their activated card immediately.

A university campus wanted to update their student’s photo directory. We developed a custom program that matched the student number with the photo and then updated the database. The program sifted through a database of 12,000 student numbers; matching numbers with the coordinating pictures for the directory. The solution also created an error log for all data that did not match.

Gaming

A major casino in Illinois desired a visitor check-in system verifying that their guests are not carrying an altered driver’s license and are not on a barred list. A custom software program was created by IdentiSys to allow the security personnel to scan the front and the back of the guest’s driver’s license. Information gathered from each side of the license is compared for inconsistencies; this includes comparing bar code, mag stripe and printed information. If the information is consistent, then it is checked against barred lists. This software program helps protect the casino from various forms of fraudulent behavior and avoid large scale fines imposed by the state.

A casino needed self-service instant issuance systems that would print player’s cards. IdentiSys developed self-service kiosks to print four different card types. The player simply walks up and inserts their driver’s license; the information is retrieved from their license, and is cross-referenced with the casino’s database. If the player is in good standing with the casino, the appropriate personalized player’s card is instantly printed.

Government

A law enforcement department wanted to maintain a record of all ID cards issued to officers including those issued to officers that have retired or departed. They wanted to archive information from past cards and show current ID card data including photos. IdentiSys developed a searchable database for this function that ties into the card issuance software. Having records of this information helped to increase security for the department so they can ensure that all badges are accounted for.

A State office required a central card issuance program that would enable the department to fulfill high-volume production of the state’s gun permits. IdentiSys delivered a complete solution that included: a MX6000 with insertion, affixer and mailing system; custom software, product training, and a custom 24/7 technical support program. The industry experience of the IdentiSys project team made it possible for the entire implementation to take a mere 2 months. On-going performance checks help ensure that the solution meets the department’s expectations.

A Minnesota Emergency Management Region wanted to increase security at disaster scenes. At the time, each County within the Region used different Identification systems. This lead to confusion on-scene when First responders from more than one county were called to respond. The solution that was purchased includes not only a common identification card, but the ability to electronically scan the cards for recording and tracking the responders activities on-scene. This solution assists them with the after incident reports that are required; and provides them with the ability to create quick ID tags with volunteers and displaced citizens information.

Healthcare

A Wisconsin hospital sought the replacement of embossing/imprinted patient identifiers with a more legible, durable, and readable bar-coded wristband. IdentiSys provided a solution that provided the option to use direct thermal or thermal transfer wristbands. The solution also met standards set forth by regulatory organizations such as HIPAA and JCAHO. IdentiSys implemented a transition process that enabled the hospital to educate staff on the equipment and develop business procedures that increased efficiency.

Transportation

A state’s transit authority required all ID badges to have an expiration date. IdentiSys developed a custom solution that generates a card expiration date based on the issue date. The expiration date is printed on the card and recorded in the transit authority’s database. This solution enables the transit authority to monitor employee badges reaching their expiration date, and print replacement IDs for the current staff.
