Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / Biometric identification
Spanish term or phrase: tropicalización
I need some help to understand the following term:

La innovación en el proceso investigativo puede sintetizarse de la siguiente manera:

• *Tropicalización* de un sistema conocido en transferencia tecnológica.
• Con base en el concepto de sistema biométrico multimodal se pretende integrar un scanner para que haga su comprobación huella dactilar vs imagen huella del documento de identificación...

This a research report about the implementation of a biometric system for people identification at a public instititution.

The whole report does not give me a clue of what it means as this word and topic were not mentioned before and the report focuses on other aspects.

I am not sure if it refers to *localization* of the system as, I think, it is widely applied around the world but not common in this country.

Thanks a lot.
