FINGER-PRINT SCANNING

Post by Regal »

Noticed this in the Currier mag. Just the Heading, no information on it whatsoever!
Does anybody know what their plans are regarding this?

It's probably to do with the new PDA's and the finger scanning device that they use in the mail centres.
Basically it's a small thing thats worn on the finger and connected to the PDA which is worn on the arm. Just an easier and quicker way of scanning items - handy when that's pretty much all your doing.

Probably the finger scanner that fits over the fingers to scan the barcodes and connects via bluetooth to the PDAs. It won't work in MCs as our batteries are f****d as it is
