Real-time verification with PMP

The PMP software modules log all actions on every unit or machine involved in the production process. This ensures that all data and information on ingredients used and their batch numbers, on machines, production lines, factories as well as shipping, final destination and customer can be comprehensively recorded and tracked. In addition, all actions are assigned reliable time stamps providing seamless traceability and reconstruction of the production process.

PMP also provides secure interfaces for the actual verification processes that permit the transmission of exported card codes via various media (e.g. secure Internet connection / dedicated line, GSM, etc.). PMP verifies that the codes received are genuine, and returns the result immediately. The data transfers are securely encrypted and carried out in real time. As mentioned above, in the meantime modern media such as smartphones can also be used and the verification processes can be initiated from any location. This way the holder of a voter’s card can be identified as a legitimate voter using a mobile or stationary device at a polling station for example.

Preparing for future demands

Carl-Michael Heüveldop, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Atlantic Zeiser, says: "In the challenging markets for ID card personalization, the requirements for variable coding and printing are continuing to rise. Our governmental customers ask for high speed and high security personalization combined with a lamination that cannot be removed. Atlantic Zeiser’s 4 color ink jet plus laser engraving personalization guarantee speed and security. Our CoolShield card lamination module makes sure that personalized data gets securely protected and does therefore not allow any alteration or manipulation.

Private sector customers enjoy the 4 color high speed, edge-to-edge background printing and personalization in one production run, which reduces production time and cost dramatically."
