Datacard Group enhances intelligent card issuance platform

March 26, 2013

Datacard Group, a provider of secure ID and card personalization solutions, has enhanced its Datacard MX Series platform for central card issuance programs with the introduction of the Datacard MX2100 and MX6100 card issuance systems.

"With more than 4,000 Datacard central issuance systems deployed globally producing financial cards and secure IDs, Datacard Group understands the changing demographics and requirements in the global markets," said Dino Balafas, vice president of central issuance for Datacard Group. "The importance of offering card issuers technologies and products that fit a wide range of needs is paramount, which is why we are committed to developing innovations within our product portfolio that help our customers protect their investments."

The Datacard Group platform has been designed with true field modularity, giving card issuers the flexibility to start with just functionality they need, then add capabilities as their business needs expand or system requirements change, the company said. The two new MX6100 and MX2100 systems join Datacard Group's entry point product, the MX1100 system, to provide flexibility and ease-of-use for customers.

The new card issuance systems include advancements to both physical and logical security features, workload efficiency, more streamlined smart card handling, and a quality assurance module

"There are two very important enhancements our customers will now be able to take advantage of as a part of this platform," SAID Balafas.  "The first one is our new quality assurance module, which is designed to provide in-line checking of accuracy on all personalized data placed onto a card; and the other feature is the increase in run-time efficiency, which will dramatically increase the number of small jobs that can be run in a day."
