The PAFIS systems is for law enforcement and civil organizations with fingerprint and palm print requirements of anywhere from a few thousand to millions. PAFIS has one of the world’s most accurate algorithms and provides flexible minimum minutiae feature points, giving the user power to solve elusive crimes. With over 20 years of field usage experience, PAFIS brings a wealth of real-life experience and expertise unmatched in the world.

With the understanding that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all, PAFIS provides unparalleled flexibility in configuration from small standalone and mobile setups to large enterprise class national AFIS systems.

Our products set the original standard for full grayscale images, FBI-compliant image size, and 500 dpi resolution. The system sets a brand new standard for handling varying image sizes and resolutions for matching, storage, and retrieval of evidence images. Because your evidence can be much larger than 1” by 1” squares, the matching system captures, retrieves, and displays images as large as a full palm latent without cutting them up. It stores more than searchable fingerprints and palm prints. You can enter mugshots, crime scene photos, or any other image you need to build a complete case file. And the system isn’t limited to 500 ppi like other AFIS systems. It accepts images of 1,000 ppi or greater.

The biometric identification and fingerprint matching technology is used worldwide for solving crimes, preventing fraud, and enhancing security. Our system conforms to FBI and Interpol implementations of the ANIS/NIST standard for the exchange of fingerprint information. This standard governs the connection of AFIS peripherals such as cardscan and livescan booking stations as well as all communication between AFIS on a local, national and international basis. It supports the capture of all types of palmprint evidence to provide greater crime-solving potential. Not just a stand-alone or add-on capability, the system’s palmprint input, storage, display, and search is fully integrated with the fingerprint system. Working with case evidence is now greatly simplified, since you use the same workstation and user interface to input everything from a live-scanned tenprint record to a palm latent.

PAFIS Open Crimes Mobile Edition

The PAFIS Open Crimes Mobile Edition is an ideal configuration for equipping police squad cars and highway patrol vehicles. The system is very light and has a Live Scan system allowing for suspect search against a small database of open crimes, which can be distributed daily or even weekly on a USB flash card to update the mobile systems. This system can also be connected in real-time via wireless connectivity if the infrastructure is available. Use of the USB Flash cards achieves the same functionality without the huge cost in developing the wireless infrastructure. This is a standalone system that can be installed on a single desktop or laptop.

PAFIS Remote Station/Location Edition

The PAFIS Remote Station/Location Edition allows remote locations or stations to perform the same Open Crimes search functions and also perform new fingerprint acquisitions of new registrants. The systems are also using a movable USB device to move the newly scanned prints to the central office and to get the latest Open Crimes data. This system can also be connected in real-time via wireless connectivity if the infrastructure is available. This is a standalone system that can be installed on a single desktop or laptop.

PAFIS Regional System 50 /100

The PAFIS Regional System 50 or PAFIS Regional System 100 systems are the entry level AFIS systems for a regional or national installation with databases that require less than 50,000 or 100,000 fingerprint records respectively. Configuration of these systems can vary with speed and functional requirements. These configurations are also ideal for regional centers in disconnected national systems where data can be sent via movable storage devices to the national repository. The database capacities for these configurations can also be upgraded as needed.

PAFIS National/Enterprise Edition 500 / 1000 / Unlimited

The National/Enterprise Edition of the PAFIS System is distributed on multiple server systems. This distributed architecture allows the PAFIS System to be implemented in a wide range of system configurations, from smaller database sizes to the large mission critical enterprise-level applications. The configuration is very flexible and scalable to meet each functional performance requirement. Search throughput or fingerprint acquisition throughput can be increased by increasing specific process server for each function.

PAFIS Matcher Accelerator Modules (MAMs)

Using scalable Matcher Accelerator Modules (MAMs), matching speed can be increased from as little as 15,000 searches per sec to over 1,000,000 million searches per second. Smaller databases can utilize less MAMs which can be added as the database grows.

PropertyThree AFIS (PAFIS) Enterprise Edition 500 or 1000

The Enterprise Edition of PAFIS System is distributed on multiple server systems. This distributed architecture allows the PAFIS System to be applied in a wide range of system implementations, from modest sizes to the largest enterprise-level applications. There are three major components:

PAFIS Matcher Server An array of template creators and template matchers that collectively handle the biometric tasks. PAFIS System accommodates an unlimited number of demographic fields that can be used as search filters and automatic fault tolerance that ensures the continuous operation of the core. PAFIS search engine software runs on Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or 2003 Server. It is typically hosted on servers with dual Intel® Xeon processors, with 2GB to 4GB RAM.

PAFIS Application Server PAFIS System’s easy-to-use web service software provides an XML-RPC interface to business applications, plus web-based tools for PAFIS System operations. Multiple PAFIS Application Servers can be deployed to support higher search rates and to provide a redundant configuration. PAFIS Application Server runs on Microsoft Windows 2000 or 2003 Server. It is typically hosted on servers with dual Intel® Xeon processors, with 2GB RAM.

PAFIS Database Server An Oracle 9i Database that stores biometric and demographic data for up to 100 million biometric identity records on Microsoft Windows 2000 or 2003 Server. The Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) feature is an option for non-stop database operation. It is typically operated on a server with dual or quad Intel® Xeon processors and 2GB to 4GB RAM.
