Mobile Workstation Regula 8304

Regula 8304 is designed as a mobile complex in a protective case. It consists of the following major parts: a laptop (model is selected at customer’s request), a built-in optical document reader, a built-in light table, a spectral luminescent magnifier Regula 4177 supported by Regula Forensic Studio software and a compact device Regula 1019.01. The workstation can be used as portable (powered by a battery pack) or stationery (powered from the AC mains) equipment.

The workstation document reader enables to capture images in white, infrared, ultraviolet, coaxial illumination and to read data from RFID tags. Regula 8304 is optionally equipped with a fingerprint scanner. The workstation operation is controlled via Regula Document Reader SDK.

Workstation operation

  1. The optical reader automatically detects a document in the reader slot.
  2. Images of the document in functional illumination modes are formed. At the same time data from an RFID tag is read out.
  3. A fingerprint is scanned.
  4. Obtained data are processed by Regula Document Reader SDK.
  5. The results of processing are available for further use.
  6. Document authenticity control is carried out using:
    • compact device Regula 1019.01
