Finger Readers

The Intelligent Terminal line of terminals is an employee data collection device that uses biometric finger technology to verify employees. Using the terminal, employees punch by placing a finger on the scanning device.

How Finger Scan Biometric Technology works:

A fingerprint is made up of a pattern of ridges and furrows as well as characteristics that occur at Minutiae points (ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending).

Fingerprint scanning provides an identification of a person based on the acquisition and recognition of those unique patterns and ridges in a fingerprint. That information is translated into a binary representation of the employee’s fingertip.

The Intelligent Terminals are comprised of a sensor for scanning a fingerprint and a processor which stores the fingerprint database and software which compares and matches the fingerprint to the database. Within the database, a fingerprint is matched to a reference number, or PIN number which is then matched to a person's name or account. Once verified, the employee’s time and labor data is recorded and automatically delivered to Attendance Enterprise.

As the terminal does not record nor store the image of the entire fingerprint, this helps to ease employee privacy concerns. Because no one can punch in or out for your employees, the system reduces time theft and improves payroll accuracy.

Models

I.T. 3100

The I.T. 3100 is the latest time recorder in the Intelligent Terminal series. Employees, supervisors, and the entire organization stay connected by collecting labor data right at the source- the time clock. The I.T. 3100 provides ATM style function keys and can withstand the rigors of industrial environments. Employees punch and perform other advanced time and attendance actions using their finger template- eliminating buddy punching.

Function keys display labor information such as scheduled shifts, worked hours and benefit information. Employees simply press a function key to perform departmental transfers, enter callback punches, and even enter tip information.

Supervisors can add punches and schedules, credit hours or dollars, and pay lunches right at the time clock, addressing everyday issues quickly and efficiently. Punch restrictions can also be used to prevent employees from punching In and Out at unauthorized times. This helps reduce labor costs by controlling unauthorized overtime and enforcing your pay policies.
