According to the ITN, “the department is in the process of re-engineering all of its motorist systems,” resulting in a multiyear phased plan focused on mitigating risks and providing improved functionality over time for all impacted systems.
The plan includes a statewide, multi-phased purchase to install and maintain multiple complete equipment systems consisting of cameras, signature pads, scanners and interface software, which would take, process and store images in the department’s custom-written application known as ORION.
The ITN also states approximately 262 agency sites use ORION, including FLHSMV offices and Florida Licensing on Wheels (FLOW), as well as tax collector offices that issue driver’s licenses and identification cards.
Currently, the department is using Epson DS-1630 or Epson GT-1500 scanners, Canon T3 camera towers and Verifone MX 925 signature pads to produce images for the system.
