Ministry of Sports Affairs
in Oman replaces old Time & Attendance system with a modern
state-of-the-art biometric system. Throughout 12 branches across the country,
the old system is now upgraded to unique 3D-Touchless technology from TBS.
The Ministry of Sports Affairs in Oman is a
Government Ministry that promotes the
development of sport across Oman. The Ministy
establishes provisions for sports facilities in 12
branches located throughout the country and forges
partnerships with local organisations. With the urge
for effectivity, the Ministry wished to be uniformly
equipped with a new powerful Time & Attendance
system.
The previous Time & Attendance system had a long
record of being uneasy to use. The biggest
drawback: it involved pulling out data manually
from old touch-based fingerprint readers for over
800 users. Problems occurred not only because this
process was time-consuming, but also because the
old touch-based fingerprint readers simply produced
too many identification failures from ‘Difficult
fingers’.
For both problems, the solution was simple: 3DTouchless
technology from Touchless Biometric
Systems.
In addition to TBS’ classic 2D fingerprint readers,
TBS’ 3D devices offer an even better recognition
performance especially in difficult situations. The
old touch-based finger scanners have had challenges
with ‘difficult fingers’, where people with thin skin
resulting from diabetes, high pigment skin, fingers
decorated with henna, oil, or dust often could not
be recognised. The TBS 3D technology wipes out
these issues easily because it is equipped with
capability to scan not just small and flat
fingerprints, but the larger finger surface in 3D. This
advanced technology guarantees maximum security
levels and no failure to enroll.
The TBS technology also provides integration with
remote locations, ensuring ultimate coverage in all
branches across Oman.
In cooperation with TBS’ local Partner, United
Systems, the Ministry was able to smoothly integrate
the new system with the existing system. Arabic was
set as the standard language on all devices and
software to ensure the operating convenience. This
allows up to 1,200 users to quickly and effortlessly
utilise the system.
Swiss Biometrics Manufacturer TBS has built a strong
presence and reference base in the Middle East with
installations in over 30 Government organizations. This
is also due to the high quality and stability of Swiss
security technology, which is highly valued in the Arab
countries, as well as around the world.
