Biometric Time Attendance Systems and Solutions in Kenya

A comprehensive Biometric Time  and Attendance system in Kenya that adapts to any type of organization’s interest, be it attendance,clocking,shifts,overtime management and leave management.

The System works with hand geometry, Hand punch, RFID  proximity card readers, finger print bio-metric devices as well as face recognition systems.
Biometric time attendance Kenya solutions will give you a very easy and secure method of identity verification. In most computer systems, measures such as PIN, passwords, cards and keys are used for identity verification.

The bad thing about these measures is the fact that people often change, disclose or forget them. An accurate and reliable technique of identification/verification can be designed by use of bio-metric technologies.

Devices

Hand punch

Fingerprint Scanner

Card Reader

HAND GEOMETRY SYSTEM

The Hand Punch uses RSI’s field-proven hand biometric time  attendance technology. the terminal captures a three-dimension image of the hand each time the employee punches. The hand’s size and the shape are used to verify their identity with unparalleled accuracy.No fingerprints or palm prints are utilized.Green and red lights notify the employee of the status of each punch Clients can use the Hand Geometry based biometric time  attendance solution. The system requires the employee to key in the employee number before scanning the hand. Keying in of the employee number before ning scan the hand can be avoided by integrating a proximity card reader.

Redundant & Long life: –
The area where the hand is placed is the reflector. The sensor/camera is concealed above it, thus the Sensor System making it durable. Also maintenance of the machine is less and its life is long.

Accuracy:-
The Hand punch works on hand geometry. 3D picture of the hand (thickness, length and width) it also 1:1 matches so chances of rejections are very negligible even if the user’s hand is wet, injured or dirty.

Antimicrobial protection:–
Every Hand-Punch has a built-in antimicrobial coating on the surface of the platen. This finish helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and fungi and lasts for the life of the device.

Hand outline :-
Every Hand-Punch comes standard with a blue hand outline printed on the platen. This ensures accurate hand placement for verification, as well as quick, easy enrollment.
