Easy to Use, Safe, Secure and Reliable Biometric Time and Attendance System
A biometric time and attendance system is a perfect way to accurately manage employee attendance and control access into and around your premises. Using our latest solutions and market-leading biometric technology along with our personalised implementation, you’ll notice the benefits quickly.
Biometric Time and Attendance Systems utilise the unique biometric characteristics of an individual. Methods of data capture include fingerprint, finger vein, iris recognition, hand scan, or facial recognition. The reliability of these systems, particularly fingerprint, has improved significantly over the years, particularly recently, and we are proud to be offering solutions from market leaders Spica International and Idemia.
Benefits of Biometric Time and Attendance Systems
- Employees do not need to carry cards or Fobs around in the workplace
- Removes the problem of employees forgetting or losing their cards\fobs
- Removes any occurrence of ‘buddy clocking’ with employees clocking each other in or out
- Only Fingerprint templates (code) are stored, and not actual fingerprints (employee security)
- Security – Removes the risk from lost or stolen card (access control)
- Improved technology now makes biometric devices suitable for many industries
How Biometric Time and Attendance Systems Work
The Time and Space Biometric Time and Attendance System is easy to use, reliable and secure with Employees being enrolled at one of the devices by an administrator (on new installations we assist with this). Templates are securely distributed to other devices after enrolling employees.
The intelligent terminal can be used to register multiple events so an employee presenting their finger will either Arrive or Depart depending on if it is the first or second clocking, or they can select from a specified list of reasons using the touch screen interface. This can be used to specify Departure for Lunch, Departure for Appointments or for employees to look at their basic information such as remaining Holiday entitlement.
Security of Biometric Time and Attendance System
The system does not record or store any biometric information which should ease any security concerns from employees. The reader is incredibly accurate and secure removing the issue of false reads. We have implemented systems where all employees are recording attendance through finger recognition alone, replacing systems that resulted in a mix of cards/fingerprints.
The device measures a number of distinct points within the fingerprint with an algorithm encrypting the result of the enrolment into a template. The password-protected device stores the template which is simply a series of numbers. It is not possible to reverse engineer a template into a fingerprint image.
Regarding what is recorded and stored during fingerprint enrolment have a read of our blog post.
