Biometric Time and Attendance

Biometric time and attendance is ideal for situations where irrefutable proof of a persons identity is required. This technology, designed specifically for your time and attendance system actually reads below the surface layer of skin down to the live subdermal layer where an individual's true fingerprint resides.

Our biometric scanners are particularly powerful as they can successfully scan through dirt and grease, which may otherwise contaminate the fingerprint and give a false reading. Biometric readings are taken from below the user's surface layer of skin, using electro-magnetic waves, thus eliminating this problem altogether.

One major advantage of a biometric time and attendance system is that it gives you irrefutable proof of identification to positively identify an employee, thus "buddy clockings" can be accurately prevented. It is for this reason that we are seeing huge growth in the biometrics market.

The biometric scanning unit is simply mounted alongside your time and attendance clocking station. When a smart card or key fob is used to clock in or out, the clock will prompt the employee to present their finger for verification. Only genuine personnel with a valid smart card are able to successfully clock in or out.

Biometric scanning technology gives increased accuracy and reliability when identifying a user and can operate under difficult conditions. The scanner reads below the surface layer of the skin, so under most circumstances there are no adverse effects on the accuracy of identification.

Electro-magnetic waves generated by your biometric time and attendance scanner are bounced off of the live tissue underneath the skin. These reflections are then recorded by your time and attendance software, building up a picture of the users fingerprint.

Biometric time and attendance is available within the Enterprise product range, and enables you to control:

• which clocks require fingerprint verification;
• the time of day verification is required;
• who is allowed to enrol fingerprint information.
