Data Management and Search Solutions


Introducing a new paradigm in AFIS.


AFIS, or Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems, have come a long way. Their technology has increased in accuracy and their systems are more scalable. However, what has not changed is their tendency to be difficult to manage and reliance upon fingerprint biometrics alone.

Until now.

Unlike traditional AFIS systems, our multi-biometric identification platform manages finger, palm, face and iris data, and employs a standards-based open architecture so IT personnel can customize the capture, examination, search and verification processes for their specific needs. The result is a new platform that helps customers lower their risks and costs.

L-1’s multi-biometric identification systems help:

  • Provide broad flexibility by allowing the customer to manage workflow changes and put upgrades through XML protocols
  • Lower costs by relying on open architectures, standards-based formatting and commercial off-the-shelf hardware
  • Increase identifications through the use of multiple biometrics – including two- and four-finger flats, tenprint rolls, slaps, palm, face and iris biometrics – all in a single platform

Learn about our multibiometric identification platform:

  • ABIS® System Search Engine: Scalable, modular, turn-key search engine to manage identity records including both non-biometric and biometric data, such as fingerprint, face and iris
  • ABIS® System Workflow Manager: A customizable workflow management tool that supports multi-vendor environments
