Sultan  Qaboos  University(SQU), One of the largest universities in Middle  East with large student base operated on coupon based system for meal.This exercise was expensive as well as difficult to manage.

BioEnable  proposed  Biometric  fingerprint  based  solution  for  management  system   to  quickly,  efficiently,  and reliably  identify/authenticate  the  students  and  their entilement of the meal scheme and also provided receipt printing which was required for administrative use.(Please download pdf  Sultan  Qaboos  University)

Initial  system was having L.C.D. ,Keypad, F.P. Scanner and Printer. Now it is replaced by  Mondeo ,Printer ,Card reader,Webcam and TFT  Displays .

Need to use new device –

• Basic Hardware Specs upgradation
• Multiple operations on keypads were cumbersome and error prone and hence needs for an card reader was felt
• Photograph of the person was required at the time of registration and verification and hence camera needs were felt
• To have the picture displayed at the time of verrification- change in Alpha Numeric LCD was felt and hence TFT display panel was required.
• To prevent uneven cutting and tear away format of printer paper, auto cutter printer was needed which is incorporated in new device
