BFM980A
BFM980A is a capacitive fingerprint module in the BFM family with industry-grade sensing — the variant sized for turnstiles where the finger arrives mid-motion and the gate simply has to decide. MOQ is 1 pc; the free SDK and 48h FAE response are standard, and production photos are on request.

Turnstile threshold behavior is tuned per metal chassis — the FAE team tests your mock-up parameters within 48h.
The lane decides in a third of a second.
A turnstile at peak flow is a queue problem: a reader that makes people wait is the same as a reader that is broken. The gate sensor has to be tolerant of the slide — thumb arriving sideways, mid-step, once.
- Industry-grade sensing emphasis is the variant's point: capture behavior tuned outside the lab's comfortable static press.
- UART-class wiring to the lane-controller keeps the turnstile board vendor-neutral.
- MOQ 1 pc so the mock-up lane gets the production part number.
The gate that survives the shift change.
Buddy punching affects about 75% of U.S. employers, costing 3–5% of payroll at a typical 50-person firm — and warehouse shift change is where the habit gets its volume. Module-firmware biometrics at the gate close the gap cleanly.
- Template export on the SDK keeps multi-gate sites in one roster, no re-enrollment.
- Family-standard burn-in and unit-level test pass before packing.
- 2-year warranty and 48h FAE response, pilot and serial alike.
BFM980A FAQs
Yes — 1 pc is the MOQ; ship us the mock parameters and the FAE team checks the sensing threshold against your chassis within 48h.
The BFM-family algorithm and SDK are free, including the 1:N gate-flow demo over UART.
Positioning differs: 980A is the gate-tuned variant with industry-grade sensing emphasis; 900T is the family performer. Exact spec deltas are summarized by the FAE team within 48h.
