Together with our technology partners, we have successfully undertook the implementations of several major projects, which include :

When the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) was seeking for a state-of-the-art criminal AFIS to manage the country’s criminal fingerprints, the burden was on Yasmin Teknologi to prove that it could deliver the solution. Not only did it successfully developed and maintained an electronic database for the police force since 1995, a second phase was ordered to be executed in 1998 that saw the inclusion of two additional regional sites in the states of Sabah and Sarawak.

The overwhelming success of this project has become a benchmark for the Asean enforcement agencies and has increased the ability of PDRM to resolve criminal cases effectively and efficiently.

The idea of having to go through heaps of physical documents was not very appealing for the country’s National Registration Department (JPN) when the country was pushing towards automation and computerisation. Through its prime contractor HeiTech Padu, Yasmin Teknologi and SAGEM SA were summoned to provide the AFIS solution for a Citizen Information Record Management System (Siren). The decision was made after a rigorous benchmark exercise that included trials in the United Kingdom and France. So far, Malaysia’s Siren is the world largest Civil AFIS that has been operational since 1998. JPN’s AFIS is used to process new applications received for national identity cards from its branches nationwide. The database has a capacity for 25 million records and is already been populated by the conversion into digital format of about 18 million application forms. The system also has the capacity to process 12,000 identifications and make 3,000 verification retrievals per day. JPN’s AFIS caters to both Siren and the Government Multi-Purpose Card (GMPC) transactions.

Reputed to be the largest record conversion exercise in Malaysia, the conversion exercise was achieved in record time using 97% local workforce as a testimony to our promise and commitment of technology transfer with our technology partner. The conversion of 18 million citizen records (approximately 72 million fingerprints and 36 million photographs) was achieved in the period of 16 months with the help of SAGEM. This feat utilised the proven FBI’s Fingerprint Image Conversion Operation (FICO) conversion system meant that the integrity and security of the citizen documents was assured. At the peak, we converted in excess of 120,000 records a day, surpassing the initial projection of 80,000 that was achieved in the United States. Yasmin Teknologi was even able to exceed its own expectations because of the efficient technology transfer from the research and development team and training provided to the local workforce by our technology partner to ensure the timely completion of the conversion process.

As the region’s port of the new millennium, Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) is focused on establishing a regional feeder network to key intra-Asia routes, and from there it will work at establishing direct calls to worldwide destinations. To support all its operational and administrative requirements of PTP, Yasmin Teknologi and its partners built an Integrated Terminal and Port Management Information System (ITPMIS), an integrated enterprise-wide solution based on multi-vendor systems. External port users are linked to the ITPMIS either via dial-up or leased lines to key in data about the vessel, containers and trucks. This information is used by the operating personnel to plan for the vessel's berthing, container loading and discharging, yard space allocation and manpower allocation. Other port users, such as customs and the Free Zone Authority, are linked to the system to grant clearance or holding of containers for import, export and transhipment.

As one of the pioneers in the issuance of smart cards to replace its citizens’ existing identity cards, Malaysia’s implementation of the Government Multi Purpose Card (GMPC) or MyKAD was a success due mainly by the solution provided by Yasmin Teknologi. We provided the minute details of the country’s citizens’ fingerprints to be authenticated as it is used as the primary security feature of the smart card, which carries the owner’s identity, driving licence and passport details.

After having done extensive benchmarked evaluations to determine rigid compliance to world-class standards, our solution was selected for MyKAD, which has been issued to more than 1.2 million citizens to date. Additionally, Yasmin Teknologi also provides the biometrics toolkit, modules and terminals that are an integral part of the MyKAD implementation.

Another government agency involved in the MyKAD initiative is the Immigration Department. Here, Yasmin Teknologi worked closely with IRIS Technologies to develop the Automatic Gate for Malaysian Passport and GMPC processing. These unmanned automatic gates are installed at various entry and exit points throughout Malaysia. Presently, the system caters to the automatic reading of the chip that is embedded in the passport and citizens will be able to use their MyKAD to facilitate exit and entry to Malaysia.

Immigration Enforcement Officers are also equipped with the Card Acceptance Devices that are used for reading MyKAD and authenticating its rightful owner on the spot by fingerprint verification with the minutiae stored in the chip. This high security feature allows the enforcement officers to determine the validity of the document and ownership with accuracy.

At the enrolment counters of the MyKAD branches, the above portable device is also utilised as a desktop capture for identification (1:N) and authentication (1:1) whereas the JPN uses the Card Acceptance Devices for the same purpose.

We also provide the MorphoModules to IRIS Technologies to be incorporated into the handheld devices developed by them for authenticating MyKAD.
