The challenge

A single card containing all the data necessary for a whole range of student services. This idea appealed to most of the higher education, but these cards can soon become out-of-date if the data is not updated regularly.

 The Autotrack card solution

Autotrack has designed the student management solution with an interactive machine which promises to free up administration services from managing cards after they are issued.

For independent updates, the user experience must be as simple as possible. That's precisely what is offered by the Autotrack Solution:

1.     The National ID card is inserted by the cardholder and the data is read

2.     The new data is decoded from the chip

3.     The rewriteable area of the card is updated

4.     The card is returned to the cardholder

5.     New card is printed

The Autotrack was created by adapting and integrating the Evolis Primacy card printer.

New design card was personalized for the specific requirements of the cards produced by autotrack:

·         The plastic casing was removed to make it easier to be physically integrated into the machine

·         Dual encoding was added, for the purposes of updating contact and contactless chips, as well as authentication and data encryption using a SAM module to ensure the security of payment operations.

The result

At the University, more than 100,000 personalized cards need to be updated. The card printer and Autotrack solution machines are running at full capacity.
