Human Elements Biometrics (HEB), a developer of biometric technology, has unveiled a new software component that enables adding fingerprint verification to existing applications without software development kit coding, according to a Kiosk Marketplace article. The software component, called BioConnector, is being marketed to a variety of industries including kiosk and self-service systems, retail, workforce management, financial, health care, gambling, education and hospitality.

HEB is touting their new product’s practicality as it removes time integrating new systems required by other similar products. Additionally, BioConnector handles not only the verification of fingerprints, but also the storing and accessing of the images.

Biometric-based software systems and solutions company Human Element Biometrics has introduced BioConnector, a software component that allows system developers to add fingerprint verification to their applications without using low-level software-developer-kit coding. The product will be marketed to kiosk and self-service delivery systems, as well as vendors in the retail point-of-sale, workforce management, financial, healthcare, gaming/casino, education and hospitality industries.

According to a news release, BioConnector saves a lot of the development and integration time that made adding biometric readers in the past impractical. BioConnector handles the interaction with the fingerprint reader and the verification process, as well as storage and retrieval of the fingerprint templates.

“BioConnector utilizes the Digital Personal hardware and verification engine. The combination of the two makes our system the most secure option available,” said Roger Grant, founder of Human Element Biometrics.

BioConnector is built using Microsoft’s .net framework and uses the Digital Persona fingerprint verification engine. The .net platform makes it easy to implement, while the hardware and verification engine provides proven, accurate and secure results.
