Central Border Management System
Applications for supreme border authority
The central border management system incorporates sub-modules, which enable a full control of the nationwide border clearance process by a central function unit.

  • Workflow Management System
    The system manages the border clearance routines for:
    • Verification of document data authenticity
    • Investigation of individuals by matching the biometric features
    • Investigation of visas or other external data
    • Investigation of document authenticity
      The verified data is provided (activated or deactivated) to front-end systems at country border points.
  • Database and Information Systems
    The systems aggregate border clearance relevant data from the local border management systems. A modern storage system collects and structures data such as:
    • Entry and exit information serving as source for the analysis of immigration relevant aspects
    • Border clearance track record information such as the MRZ extracted information, the system user and the inspection protocol

  • Interface Module
    The interface module operates towards system-internal and -external directions:
    • In the system-internal direction it connects local border management systems applied at country border points with the central border management system, provides them with relevant data and inspection routines and receives border clearance information.
    • In the system-external direction it connects to systems such as visa information and identity databases and implements them into the border clearance process.

  • Central User Management
    The system enables the definition of user groups and grants access to functions and data needed at the local border management systems. A controlled  access to the workstations is provided for first and second line inspection and for the background systems. Typical user groups are:
    • Border point management team, having access to sensitive data and the related reporting functions
    • Second line inspection officers with access to enhanced inspection routines
    • Inspection officers of the first line inspection with access to the basic inspection routines

  • Reporting
    Reporting functions serve to visualize statistical information and to match data with information stored in databases and information systems at border control points. The collected data supports the continuous improvement of the overall border clearance processes. The system provides information on:
    • Entries and exits sorted by country and country border points
    • Alerts on individuals who overstay
    • Reports of system issues such as timeouts and non-functioning passports
    • Traveler investigation
