BeAdvance and Rimax introduce biometric time clock

Tuesday, May 10, 2005

Staff on Time is a new venture between BeAdvance and Rimax being used as an attendance application. Biometric technology is used to automatically save every entry and exit of the company’s staff and thus calculates the corresponding wages depending on the punctuality and extra hours done. The device consists of a functionally designed box, which includes a fingerprint scanner and a screen indicating the status of the recognition process. Every fingerprint registration is saved in a database, thus facilitating access to the workers data and also to updated reports. And it does not require a dedicated PC to run the applications. [end]
