Our video sensor technology automatically detects people present in a defined area and can perceive their number, duration of stay, position, and body posture.

It can analyze both a specific area and – in extensive spaces – the points of entry.

The integrated image processing allows for use without transmitting image data (e.g., in areas sensitive to data protection).

Identification of employees is done through a passive transponder. This can take the form of a check card, be made as a keychain, or be integrated into a bracelet, among other options. By holding the RFID transponder near a terminal, a voltage is induced and encrypted communication between the transponder and terminal is established, based on which the identification of the transponder holder can be carried out. For attendance control using RFID time recording, stationary time recording terminals are usually used, where employees can make their clock-in, clock-out, and duty trip bookings.

Mobile time tracking terminals like the Chronos Control have been specifically designed for time tracking and attendance control at customers of service companies.

They do not require installation in the customer's IT infrastructure, but typically have autonomous internal power supply and communicate via mobile network.

The devices are, for example, deployed at customers of cleaning companies or security service providers.

Employees trigger corresponding bookings by touching the clock-in or clock-out buttons. Identification via RFID is also possible. In addition to recording working hours, the mobile time tracking device also serves for attendance control and quality assurance at the customers' premises. If a planned clock-in booking is missed, the dispatcher receives a notification and can react accordingly.

In attendance control using access control systems, the entry and exit of areas are regulated through access control techniques and turnstile systems, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter these areas. Information about the people entering is used for attendance tracking. Individuals identify themselves using an RFID card and possibly a PIN code at a reader before entering the area.
To ensure accurate attendance tracking, the use of turnstiles, revolving gates, or airlocks is recommended.

Alternatively or in addition to RFID cards, biometric features can also be used for identification at time tracking terminals.

Hand vein recognition, for example, is a contactless optical method where the pattern of hand veins is used as an identification feature.

The hand vein recognition is currently the most secure and convenient biometric identification feature used in access control to secure highly sensitive areas. Instead of presenting a transponder to a reader, the biometric features of hand veins are utilized. This makes it significantly harder to bypass the system. Attendance controls that require the high level of security provided by hand vein recognition should also incorporate access control systems such as turnstiles or revolving doors. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all access points to the monitored areas are equally secured.

Attendance checks that require the high level of security of hand vein recognition should also use separation systems such as interlocks or turnstiles. It is also important to ensure that all access points to the areas to be monitored are equally secured.

In attendance control using GPS tracking, a person or object is located worldwide and the position is evaluated according to predefined criteria. By defining specific areas in the tracking portal, users can be informed when a person enters or leaves an area. This information can be transferred to an attendance control system, for example, to track working hours for field service customers or ensure timely staffing of these workstations. In addition, dispatchers can always see where individual employees are currently located. Tracking systems can also be used to monitor that objects do not leave a defined area. For example, the "presence" of machines or other valuable goods on the company premises can be ensured.

In addition, dispatchers can see where individual employees are currently located at any time. However, tracking systems can also be used to monitor that objects do not leave a defined area. In this context, for example, the “presence” of machines or other valuable goods on the company premises can be ensured.

In our Bluetooth Low Energy attendance control solution, Bluetooth Low Energy beacons are used as employee or guest badges and located within a building or outdoor area.

Anchors are distributed throughout the building for positioning the beacons, creating a wireless network among themselves to locate the beacons within this network. Depending on the operating modes, they can be located with an accuracy of up to 30 cm.

Through the optional integrated RFID transponder, the Bluetooth Low Energy beacon can simultaneously be used for time tracking and access control. The collected data is evaluated through a user-friendly interface. In real-time, you can track how many employees or users are in a building. In case of emergency, you receive immediate information about the number of people in the building. Users can also receive directions if needed. For example, guests can be directed to their desired location or employees can be safely evacuated from the building.
