Biometric Attendance System for Mines and Quarries: illustration
Quick answer

Know who is on site, always. 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 mines and quarries, that means headcount of who is on site, and shifts recorded exactly.

07Frequently asked questions

Can it work in remote locations?

Yes, with battery or solar and mobile data.

Is it rugged enough?

Choose a rugged, weather-rated model and shelter it.

Can it link to access control?

Yes.

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.

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.
