National Smart ID Card

Mühlbauer successfully implemented the electronic ID card for the citizens of Kenya. This implementation of the Smart Card Project, including the layout of the card and other technical aspects, was done within 4 weeks. Mühlbauer delivered MB SCP 2000 machines with MB ALFRESCO® technology for color and laser personalization of the electronic ID card, as well as MB CCT 6000 for quality assurance of the cards and the MB Quick Pac for packaging and shipping of the cards.
In addition, the software environment, including MB INCAPE as an integrated production management software, the MB PALAMAX® for monitoring and improving production, the MB USER MANAGEMENT, the MB TRUST PKI and other related IT hardware were successfully implemented. These technologies enabled the Kenyan Government to set up a state of the art Personalization Bureau. The Kenyan Government further contracted Mühlbauer for the supply of a total of 25 million blank cards for the Smart ID project.
