PRESS RELEASE - Never Worry About Keys Again
___________________________________________
Never worry about keys again !
Finscan, the world’s first marine biometrics manufacturer , has released a new range of products that will eliminate the need for keys securely using fingerprint technology. The products have been developed specifically for use on boats, and have been designed with the unforgiving marine environment in mind. The products in combination will cater for, cabin entry, power switching including battery isolation, and engine starting. All taken care of without the use of a key. A boat owner simply needs to place their finger on the sensor for authentication, and that’s it, the FinScan products take care of the rest. This eliminates the need to remember keys , manage key floats, manage multiple key sets at marina’s and boat shares, or worry about children starting engines accidentally. The technology incorporates a fingerprint sensor on each device, that is capable of storing hundreds
of fingerprint templates, and a controller that performs the automated task after a fingerprint is authenticated.The FinScan devices have been designed for easy installation, with a wireless communication option to allow fingerprint sensing devices to be installed anywhere on a boat, without the need to string wiring between them. An example of this is automated cabin entry, that requires the controller to be located inside the cabin area, and the reader outside at the cabin entry location. Simply connect the devices to power and they will communicate wirelessly and begin to operate.
The Bio eStart engine “touch” starting device, is available in Single or Dual configuration to cater for wake boats through to superyachts. The device works on gasoline or diesel engines and incorporates a fingerprint sensor for each engine, LED indicators, LED back lighting, start / stop buttons and an automatic blower control mode when the ignition is enabled that improves safety . Unlike other devices that require a code to be remembered and entered, the Bio eStart simply needs a finger touched on its sensor, one of the templates in memory to match, and the ignition and start button is enabled with nothing to remember but your finger.
All of FinScan’s products will be on display at the 2009 Sanctuary Cove boat show. For more
