Early shifts, strict hygiene. A biometric attendance system (also called a fingerprint attendance machine or time attendance system) records who arrived, and when, with their own finger or face. For abattoirs and meat plants, that means touch-free face or card check, and early starts recorded.

07Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for hygiene zones?
Face or card avoids touching a sensor.
Can it work in wet areas?
Place it outside wet areas or use a rated model.
Can casual workers be added?
Yes.
Does it work in a power cut or without internet?
Yes. Terminals store punches and sync when power and network return. A small UPS covers short cuts.
Do staff need to be trained?
Enrolment takes about a minute per person, and we train HR and managers on the reports.
Fingerprint or face recognition: which is better?
Both are accurate on good terminals. Fingerprint suits most offices and is familiar. Face suits gloves, hygiene areas and fast flows. Many terminals offer both, plus cards as a backup.
How much does a time attendance terminal cost?
It depends on the terminal type, the number of staff and the software. See our biometrics page; we quote after a free survey.
