How do I choose the right time attendance equipment

Time participation units are needed to effectively monitor employee participation. The need for a time participation monitoring grows with the number of employees you manage. But choosing the right equipment can be a difficult task unless you are an expert. Let us go through a couple of points that will help you choose the right time participant list equipment for your requirements.

1. What kind of time attendance units are you looking for?

a. Proximity Card Reader (RFID)

b. Devices Biometric (Fingerprint, Retina scan devices)

c.Hand Punch Devices

A proximity reader to identify a user when an RFID card is registered to the user is flashed on the device. A fingerprint identifies an employee by matching the fingerprint pattern with a database of registered fingerprint. A hand geometry reader identifies users by the shape and size of their hands.

2. Do you also require access control?

Time participation units can also operate as access control devices. In this case, the entry-exit control units for your business, so as to give accurate data for tracking employees.

In this case you must use a unit for each door used for entry and exit. So the number of doors used for entry and exit must be fixed. Additionally, you can only access control on certain areas of your business, a server room, for example.

3. How many employees are expected to be punching at the same time?

If you have too many employees, punching at the same time, you need a device that is quick to identify. Some biometric devices can consume a few seconds for the identification process, which can result in a long queue if you have too many staff members rushing in at the last minute.

4. Storage capacity of the device.

Time participation units can store only a limited number of transactions. If you have lots of employees, you should choose a unit with high transaction storage capacity.

For example. If you have 1000 employees and an average of your employees punch 5 times a day, there are 5000 transactions in one day. So if you choose a unit with a storage capacity of 50,000 transactions, you will have data for the last 10 days.

5. How many locations / branches do you have?

If you have different locations and you want to monitor employees from a central location, so you need devices that support TCP / IP communications. In this case, you also need a software system as the "Participate in HRM 'to collect all the attendance list data in a central location for processing.

6. As a device manufacturer to choose from?

Well if you've already found a few specimens with the above criteria, it is time to choose the right producer.
