Types of Time Attendance Hardware

Smart Cards:

Smart cards are a type of contactless time attendance hardware that uses a magnetic stripe or RFID (Radio Frequency) reading technology to track employees and visitors. They swipe their smart cards/fobs on a reader device to record their attendance. The cards/fobs work seamlessly with the time and attendance, access control and HR software.

Clocking Terminals:

Clocking terminals are another type of time attendance hardware that uses a PIN or swipe card system to record employee attendance. These innovative clocks contribute to dramatically improving a business’s ability to monitor workforce movements and patterns.

Biometric Time & Attendance:

Biometric time and attendance systems use fingerprint, hand, or facial recognition technology to identify and record employee attendance accurately. Biometric systems offer enhanced security and a more secure alternative to smart cards and prevent fraudulent clock-ins for colleagues.

Facial Recognition Time & Attendance:

Facial recognition systems leverage advanced technology to identify and verify employee attendance. Following a fast and easy enrollment, the system allows employees to clock in effortlessly by simply looking at the unit. The system also boasts uninterrupted recognition regardless of lighting conditions.

Hand Scanner Terminals:

Hand scanner terminals use hand recognition technology to identify and record employee attendance. Employees can simply place their hands on the scanner to clock in and out, ensuring accurate tracking. Able to be operated in a variety of conditions, the biometric hand scanners offer convenient and practical solutions to small businesses' differing time and attendance needs.
