Features
Superior Searching Capability
No database binning or filtering required. Performs searches in a variety of ways.
Natural Workflows
Automatic image scaling and auto composite record history.
Powerful Print Image Enhancement Tools
Brightness, contrast, and image grayscale level controls. Capability to search of both rolled and flat records for fingerprint and
palm print search. Latent module equipped with three-dimensional imaging, background color control, etc.
Built-In Quality Fingerprint Check
Automatically checks the quality for:
• Overall image quality
• Number of detectable minutiae
• Completeness of the print
• Sequence of prints
• Ridge flow clarity
• Improperly clipped flat prints
Multiple Card Format Support
Configurable and customizable. Scans and reads FBI-certified fingerprint cards, i.e. FD-258, FD-249.
Extensive Database Queries
Retrieve narrow or broad query results based on the criteria provided for the search with the ability to accept wildcard
searches, allowing the user to enter partial information with the same accuracy as a query with complete information.
Multitasking Environment
Multiple biometric matchers process the workload in parallel to linearly increase system throughput.
Ability to Integrate with Third-party Systems Connectivity to other AFIS and external Record Management Systems. Ability to interface with additional AFIS workstations,
NIST-compliant livescan systems, and wireless biometric input devices.
3M Cogent Workstations
Available as a complete solution, 3M Cogent also offers effective multi-biometric acquisition configurations. Equipped with a PC, monitor, camera,
and an FBI-certified scanner, these versatile workstations come with all the tools needed to solve cases efficiently.

General Workstation
An innovative biometric station specifically designed for seamless operation, the 3M Cogent Workstation provides the capability to capture, scan,
and process fingerprint, palm print, and ten print images.
Perfect for any type of criminal applications, users can easily enroll and verify subjects using the equipment featured in the General Workstation.
Latent Workstation
The Latent Workstation adds a digital camera and forensic lighting to the General Workstation configuration and allows latent print examiners to
capture, encode, and submit latent fingerprints and palm prints with ease and precision. The latent workstation can optionally come equipped with
Latent Case Management (LCM) software, specifically designed for managing latent prints. With the ability to link multiple cases, query unsolved
latent databases, and create latent court exhibits, LCM offers intuitive and simple steps needed to complete identification with ease and precision.
Workstation Highlights
• Latent print cards and photos with automatic image scaling
• Three-dimensional physical evidence (using the optional forensic lighting kit)
• Overview “window-in-window” depicting the entire palm
• Side-by-side viewing and rotation of search vs. candidate images
• Minutiae on/off capability for clearly viewing ridge detail
• Automated tracking of corresponding minutiae
• Automated minutiae numbering and charting of search vs. candidate images
• Printing of “charted” images (court exhibits)
• Bordered and numbered minutiae with lines drawn to the corresponding minutiae for easier verification
System Hardware and Software Options:
• Upgrade to store records at 1,000 ppi
• Latent third level detail matching capability
• Interface to other AFIS
external RMS
• ULW interface to IAFIS
• Upgrade to support MobileID searches and LiveID for two-finger
identification searches
• Electronic or hard copy NIST conversion
• Additional CAFIS Workstations and NIST-compliant LiveScan systems
