Biometric Attendance System for Dairy and Food Processing Plants: illustration
Quick answer

Clean production starts with accurate shifts. 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 dairy and food processing plants, that means touch-free check-in with face or card, and early shifts recorded exactly.

07Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for hygiene areas?

Face recognition and contactless cards avoid touching a sensor.

Can staff scan with gloves on?

Face or card works with gloves; fingerprints do not.

Does it work in cold or wet areas?

Place it outside wet areas or choose a rated model.

Can a terminal stop buddy punching?

Yes. A finger or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can with a card, a PIN or a paper register.

How long does installation take?

One terminal is usually a few hours: mount, power, network, enrol staff and test. Larger sites take longer.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?

Yes. We deliver countrywide and survey Nairobi and the surrounding counties for free.

What is a time attendance system?

It is a terminal at the door plus software. Staff scan a finger, face or card, the terminal records who arrived and when, and the software totals hours, lateness and overtime for payroll.
