Biometric Technology Concepts

Biometric systems, by definition, scan or detect features of one's body. Biometrics can consist of hand topography biometric systems, retinal scan biometric systems, fingerprint biometric readers, and more. One common type of biometric time clock system uses the hand topography biometric system. This system will read the dimensions and characteristics of one's hand when placed on the reading surface. These systems are great at curbing employee time theft, because the user does can not buddy punch for someone else. The Icon Systems use RSI's hand geometry biometric system technology. HandPunch systems captures a three-dimensional image of the hand, including hand size and shape. The systems execute with incredible accuracy.

Manufacturers of Biometric TimeClock Systems

Icon Time Systems produces a popular biometric time system that uses the hand topography biometric technology. One of Icon Time's systems is named HP 1000 (also known as the HandPunch 1000). We offer the Hand Punch 1000 in our wide selection of employee timeclock products. We also offer Icon's HP50 system (also known as the HandPunch 50), which is equipped with Ethernet connection. We also offer the Acroprint ATRx Secure PunchIn, which is a biometric fingerprint verification system. This biometric system consists of software with a fingerprint reader (USB connection). Also look at our Lathem Touch Station Kit. The Lathem biometric system also consists of Lathem's PayClock EZ software with a biometric fingerprint reader. These biometric time system offer you alot of options and choice. Green and red lights notify the employee of the status of each punch.

Biometrics' benefits
Biometric technology is the most secure for an unattended environment, that is, where a third party does not observe each time individuals must authenticate their user identities.

Fingerprint scanning.
As the oldest biometric timeclock technology in use, it tends to be more readily accepted by personnel. Unlike the fingerprint taken by the police or military, this is a template of about 25 to 30 points that can be used in a one-to-one biometric authentication of an individual rather than the one-to-many identification used by police The template can't be used to reverse-engineer the individual's full fingerprint. As a result, individual privacy issues are not a concern.

The Lathem Touch Station biometric TimeClock System consists of software that runs on your computer, and a Fingerprint Reader.  This system is accurate and easy to set up and use.  Read on to learn more about the Lathem Touch Station biometric Time Clock.  Comes with USB cable.

Iris scanning.
This is the most accurate biometric technology. About 250 points are captured to create the template for each person. The iris does not change during an individual's life, which contributes to the accuracy of the method. Although often confused with retina scanning that is shown in popular movies, iris recognition is nowhere near as invasive. During iris scanning, a person positions his eye about 18 in. to 24 in. from the camera, whereas during retina scanning the eye is right against the camera. The biometric technology has proved to be valuable in those areas in which an employee wears gloves, as well as in controlled areas such as a Class I, Div. II environment, where the individual wears full-body protective gear, a hood and, in many cases, safety glasses under the hood. Time America supports Iris scanning; we are a Time America reseller. Currently (2005) the Iris Scanners retail for about $9,000.00

Biometrics has suffered from the perception that it won't work consistently in the harsh environment of a manufacturing facility. This simply is not true. The cost of the technology has raised additional concerns. However, both fingerprint and iris technologies are in their third generation and costs have fallen dramatically. IDC estimates that help desk costs to support password systems now cost $300 per user per year. This approximates the investment for fingerprint technology. Iris cameras cost more than fingerprint readers, making the iris approach more expensive where installation at every desk is necessary. However, in many instances, iris recognition is used in a shared workstation environment or where the required dress makes fingerprint identification difficult or impossible.

Time & Attendance
Recognition Systems HandPunch terminals cuts cost and keep employees honest - No more cards, badges, and "Buddy Punching".  Biometric systems offer the most accurate time and attendance solution available.  Biometric systems eliminate badges.  Biometric timeclocks eliminate buddy-punching.  Biometric time systems are easy to use and biometric employee time clock systems reduce supervisor workload. 

Hand Geometry Technology

The HandPunch 1000 uses RSI's field-proven hand geometry biometrics technology. The terminal captures a three-dimensional 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. There's no question any more; employees have to be there to punch.

Pay for only what you need
The HandPunch 1000 comes standard with user capacity for 50 users. As your business grows, so can the user capacity of the HandPunch 1000. Memory upgrades are available to expand to 100 or even up to 512 users. With a built in transaction memory to store over 5,000 punches the HandPunch 1000 ensures your employees' data is safe.

Communication Options
The HandPunch 1000 connects quickly to the time and attendance PC via a provided 50-foot RS-232 communications cable. An optional internal 14.4 K baud dial-up modem is available for remote sites.

Hand Geometry Technology

HandPunch 3000
Developed to enhance most time and attendance systems, the HandPunch 3000 offers optional Ethernet connectivity and multiple memory upgrades to grow with your company's needs. In addition to providing all the features of the HandPunch 2000.

Recognition Systems, Inc. now brings the accuracy and convenience of biometric technology easily within reach of most time and attendance applications. In operations that range from coal mines to clean rooms, RSI systems have proven themselves to be a practical and precise solution. Our terminals are so affordable, it doesn't make sense to consider any other technology.

Versatile and Programmable
Beyond a simple time clock, the HandPunch 3000 provides definable function keys that allow data collection when employees punch. The systems transmit data to the time and attendance host PC through a variety of options.

The HandPunch 3000 biometric timeclock hand geometry biometric technology. The terminal captures a three-dimensional image of the hand each time the employee punches. The hand's size and the shape are used to verify their identity. No fingerprints or palm prints are utilized. Green and red lights notify the employee of the status of each punch. There's no question any more; employees have to be there to punch to use biometric time clock technology.

Programmable Function Keys
The HandPunch 3000 has two user-definable function keys that let you collect data as employees punch. Common uses include department transfers, tips collected, job codes, or pay codes. Multi-level data entry sequences may be defined. You can also set the function keys to allow employees to review their past punches. To reduce keystrokes, the keys can also be set to automatically enter data such as a frequently used department number or in/out status.

Communication Options
The HandPunch 3000, designed for larger networked installations, allows multiple units to be connected at a site via RS-485 wiring, an optional Ethernet module, or dial-up modem.

ETC and Florida Time Clock have been resellers, distributors, and installers of Icon products since 1991.

BOULDER CO, February 10, 2005: Unitime Systems, Inc., has launched a new feature for its UNITIME Automated Timekeeping SystemT that automatically calculates and tracks employee paid-time-off benefits as part of the manufacturer's daily time and attendance tracking. Benefits ManagerT tracks vacation, sick leave, personal time and other benefit-hour accruals within the day-to-day workflow of time and attendance, thus ensuring accuracy and allowing administrators to devote time to more productive tasks.

Because Benefits Manager is fully integrated within the latest version of UNITIME, companies can avoid the extra step of importing benefit-hour accruals from separate payroll or human resources programs. They thus avoid "silos" or "islands" of data that must be separately managed and periodically synchronized.
