3. Know how
Innovation,ResearchandDevelopment
The technology used by Semlex is based on
biometric identification and authentication
systems making it possible to automatically
diagnose or monitor a person’s identity with
fingerprints, facial recognition or retinal
image.
These systems operate in a highly
secured computing environment:
data encryption (PKI), image
compression, fiduciary documents
and client/server architecture whose
accesses are strictly controlled.
Semlex has developed a suite of software
ensuring the management of populations
through technologies mastered such as
biometrics (fingerprints, iris image, facial
image).
The latest printing techniques are used
for the personalization of the documents:
sublimation, retransfer and laser engraving.

To facilitate your acquisition of
a biometric recognition system,
Semlex has developed customized
financing solutions to allow you
to spread the investments as the
project progresses.
We Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT)
turnkey systems to our clients.
Semlex therefore provides all the
necessary investments for the
implementation of the project,
bears all operating costs and carries
out its maintenance without the
client having to bear any specific
cost for the project. In return,
Semlex earns a return on the sale
of the documents concerned.
Furthermore, a part will be donated
to the State.
In this way, the State not only
invests very little or nothing, but
also receives a share of the revenue.
Financial plan in BOT (Built, Operate, Transfer)
or in PPP (Public-Private Partnership)
Data control of the person :
Visual control of the data : photo,
personal information, etc.
Data control by reading the bar code
(pdf417 (2D) QR code, etc.)
Electronic control by reading the chip
(with or without contact)
Operational management
–– Integration of the systems
–– Training and technical assistance
–– Maintenance services
–– Advices and audits
–– Updates to international standards
and recommendations (ICAO)
Verification of
documents
