Biometric System Architecture
The architecture of the biometric system comprises of these components::
- Shared Client Terminal: The PC/tablet used by the employees. Each terminal must have a separate biometric device.
- Device SDK: The device driver provided by the device vendor. This device is installed on the Shared Client Terminal. The device is used to match biometric information of the employee.
- FT Interface Service: This service is installed on the Shared Client Terminal and provides a configuration tool to configure the .NET program running on the terminal. The service uses SQL Server database to download and store employee biometric information.
- Automation License: The FT license module that enables external applications to communicate with the Factory Track IDOs.
- Biometric Data: The SQL Server database in which employee biometric data is stored.
- Messaging Layer: The Factory Track messaging layer is developed to send messages to the FT user (administrator/supervisor).
