Posted on by

SYBU Smart WiFi Scale Solution is a technology solution for packing punnets, cartons,
containers, tubs and crates to a minimum required weight.

  • Increase productivity by measuring, tracking and incentivising packer performance

Some of the main features are:

  • WiFi scale to pack to a minimum target, with a maximum upper weight
  • One or more packers can work at the same station
  • Packers are tracked with RFID tags and can move between stations during production.
  • Every production unit is recorded
  • Intuitive Touch User Interface
  • Each scale can be individually mamaged or controlled simultaneosly from Sybu CloudMaster
  • Software updates can quickly be deployed via OTA (Over the Air)
  • Scale can function in an offline state without losing production data
  • Leaderboard provides rank information and improves packer performance
  • From the network overview diagram the Scales, Leaderboards and operational control from the ScaleMaster are connecting wireless to a network access point.
  • Multiple such configurations are permitted within the same packhouse or farm to accommodate multiple pack lines.
  • Optionally the SYBU Cloudscale can be utilized to provide production dashboards, reports for executives, which can be accessed from anywhere with internet access.

The SYBU ScaleMaster allows for operational control, configuration of all the scales, packer provisioning and specification assignment.

Sybu Data upgraded the Biometric Co-Enrollment Prevention System (BCEPS), developed for the South African Medical Research Council,  to utilize the latest Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) from Innovatrics.

The system provides secure, high performance, low latency, identification and matching of participants from various organizations and research facilities.

The system was successfully rolled-out by the MRC countrywide to  organizations during August 2015.

SuperSign, is a password replacement solution makes passwords a thing of the past.

People cannot share, lose, forget or steal them. They simply sign on with a fingerprint. At the same time, SuperSign prevents and deters fraud by creating Identity Chains that link users to their transactions, compiling an audit trail of who did what, where and when.

Energy Management Solution

Posted on by

The Energy Management Solution controls Electrical devices such as lighting and appliances by preconfigured schedule or by local or remote web-based control. The current status of each controllable device at each store can also be viewed remotely. The solution is targeted at chain stores. Energy management profiles can be published to each store where an intelligent controller interfaces to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to switch air-conditioning units, refrigerators, and lighting dim levels. The profiles are generally configured to coincide with the operating hours of each store. Certain inputs may also be used for logging and control purposes.

  • Switching profile can be created an published centrally to remote stores
  • Individual status of each output can be monitored remotely
  • Switching can be overridden to allow local manual operation
  • Reporting and logging to central location from each store based upon scheduled switching and local override events.
  • Demand selection input can selectively switch outputs if electrical consumption exceeds threshold.
  • Security alarm can be linked to system to log arming, disarming, and trigger events centrally.

 

Solution Overview

Store Components

The store-side components feature a web server, custom developed website and Modbus controller. The application is run on the Mono Framework on a Ubuntu Linux installation.

1.      Web pages

As an easily accessible interface for each store, custom web pages were developed for the solution to include:

  • System Status: indicates uptime, local IP Address, software version and PLC status
  • Operational Mode: Displays and allows setting of the current operation mode (Disabled, Manual, Auto, Test)
  • Remote Control: View and control all inputs and outputs
  • Configuration: View and set all parameters pertaining to application configuration
  • PLC Configuration: Configure PLC and label inputs and outputs
  • Switching Schedule: Display the current switching schedule for the store for each output.

Pages use AJAX/XmlHttpRequest for live status feedback. All responses are generated by the custom developed web server.

2.      Custom Web Server

The Sybu Data .NET Web Server component was adapted for this solution. The web server server the set of web pages, selectively replacing placeholder tags within the pages with the appropriate data from the system. All AJAX requests are handled by a POST-Method event handler. The web server is also capable of receiving updates for the software.

3.      Scheduler

The scheduler checks the energy profile and switches the outputs accordingly. Any manually switched output will not be overridden by the scheduler.

4.      Event Reporting

Inputs are monitored for state changes. These inputs can range from operational override, alarm state to enclosure tampering switches. These events are then sent to the server component where they are logged.

5.      Remoting

.NET Remoting is utilized for communications between the server and store components.

2.      Database

Sybu Data developed Web based Co-Enrollment Database with fingerprint matching

Posted on by


The Co-Enrolment Database is a web-based system for managing participants in clinical trials.

  • Multiple levels of access rights for users
  • Biometric enrolment and identification of both users of the system and participants in clinical trials and research initiatives.
  • Multiple sites each with its own studies may be created.
  • Visibility of information is restricted to the site the user is associated with.
  • ASP.NET web application.

The solution is comprised of three parts:

Web-based interface

The Co-Enrolment Database web-interface is a ASP.NET custom developed web application. The application features role-based security, thus limiting the capabilities of each particular user based upon their individual role within the organization.

The solution features both conventional username/password authentication and biometric identification for login purposes. All biometric identification is performed server-side.

The solution allows for multiple locations to be created. Each user is associated with a single location and may view only information pertaining to that location. Information owned by a location with which the user is not associated with is replaced with the particular location’s contact information.

A user may create and manage studies within the system. Participants enrolled for a study are first checked to ensure they aren’t currently part of another conflicting study by means of biometric identification. The history of each participant within the system can be tracked.

Active Matcher Service

The Active Matcher is employed to manage biometric matching. The matcher is loaded with the most recently used set of fingerprints. As new participants are enrolled, the matcher is continually kept up to date. Upon a identification request, the matcher searches for a matching record. If no matching record is found, the next set of fingerprints are loaded until either a match is found, or no more record are available for loading. This allows the solution to perform matches on a much larger set of fingerprints than conventionally allowed by the Sagem Active Matcher.

ActiveX Fingerprint Reader Interface Control

Each terminal is fitted with a Sagem fingerprint reader. The solution uses a custom developed ActiveX component by which to interface with the fingerprint reader from within the web browser. The control is embedded within the webpage is controlled by scripts within the webpage. The fingerprint templates obtained from the reader are passed to the server in a hidden form variable for server-side matching.
