Local Border Management System
Applications for superior border authority at border points
The local border management systems incorporate sub-modules, which enable a full control of the entire border clearance process at country border points.

  • Workflow Management System
    The system manages the services needed for the operation of the country border points according to the defined requirements. It interfaces to the central management system and implements applications such as border clearance routines and monitoring 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
    • Usage of defined disaster scenarios

  • Database and Information Systems
    The systems aggregate border clearance relevant data from the front-end systems at country border points. 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

  • Embedding Module
    The embedding module manages the front-end devices and provides the relevant data. It connects devices such as: 
    • Manual border control systems
    • Automated Border Control systems (ABC Systems)
    • Wi-Fi for handheld systems
    • Monitoring systems
    • Closed-circuit television (CCTV)
    • Signaling systems

  • User Management System
    The system enables the assigning of border clearance staff at country border points to defined user groups, relevant functions and data access. An access control system allows for the authorization of access to basic or enhanced inspection routines, local sensitive data and the related reporting functions.
    Typical user groups are:
    • Second line inspection officers with access to enhanced inspection routines
    • First line inspection officers 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
