  FingerTec Solves Pesquera Exalmar’s Access Control Problems  
   
 
Pesquera Exalmar S. A. A. is a company that has long been in the fishing industry that is also dedicated to processing and marketing products such as fishmeal and fish oil. The company’s origin dates back to 1976, when Mr. Victor Matta Curotto went into the fisheries business after the acquisition of the Cuzco 4 fishing vessel. Fast forward to the present; Pesquera Exalmar now has a fleet of 51 vessels, with a number of plants dedicated to freezing and processing of products.

Early in 2015, Pesquera Exalmar approached Soluciones Específicas Tecnológicas S.A.C, FingerTec’s authorized dealer in Peru, looking for a solution to access control to assist the staff on the fishing ground, since previously the access control brand they used had cause many problems in the bearings and the GPRS network as they did not work well terminals, causing many technical issues and interruptions.

 
 
The solution to solve the issue was to install Q2i devices at the site. This however was not as easy as it seems, as there is no Internet connection of the ground. To adapt to this issue, the Q2i devices were set up with RS232 communication cables that were designed specifically to connect to the computers with the interface of FingerTec Data Processor software (FTDP). With this connection established, Pesquera Exalmar no longer faced any problems with their systems and GPRS network.

The Q2i is a device that uses biometrics for verification and also includes RFID card and passcode methods. The FTDP is designed to connect FingerTec terminals to a third party system. This means that a company with preferred software for time attendance and access control can use the FingerTec devices without having to switch software. The connection uses LAN to create an independent system, which is suitable in case of no Internet or GPRS connection.

Soluciones Específicas Tecnológicas S.A.C has long been in the game of providing quality product in security systems, information technology and communications, and process management. The years of experience in handling many customers’ demands has made it easy for the company to find the best solution to suit any environment and resolve technical issues.
