New Delhi, 18 June, 2019 – NEC Technologies India (NECTI), a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, has partnered with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) (Note 1) to deploy its industry-leading automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) for the Kerala State Police.

The new AFIS will be used by the Kerala State Police to match unknown fingerprints against a central database of known finger prints for criminal investigation. More than 600 police/enforcement facilities across the state, including police stations and the district police headquarters, will have access to the system for verification and new registration of fingerprints.

This new system will help state police accelerate investigations more efficiently by providing a faster and more accurate fingerprint verification. The new system is able to enhance the quality of fragmented fingerprints captured at crime scenes and makes it possible to match the prints against the central database.

(Note 1) The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) is the premier R&D organization of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), India, for carrying out R&D in IT, Electronics and associated areas. C-DAC has played a leading role in enabling and implementing various state-of-the-art products and services for various government departments and industries.
