Employee attendance systems do not need periodic maintenance and are always ready for use. In this section, you will find time and attendance clocks new or used as new. The systems equipped with the time and attendance detectors we propose result from experience gained in over 60 years of work, verifying with our customers the best solutions designed for each type of market.
The need to control employee attendance times with mechanical clocks began in the eighteenth century. Since then, counting hours worked has evolved considerably while maintaining different types of tools that differ in needs. Different companies, In fact, still clocks that use cardboard tags which, instead of the old mechanical watchmaking, have sophisticated electronics that drive the functions of moving the tag horizontally and vertically through stepper motors and programming. The stamping times, the management of the stamping colors (red and black), the summer/winter time change, and a whole series of functions that have made it possible to create many mechanical parts that were worn disappear from the inside of the watch. Therefore, today we can talk about time-recorder watches without the need for maintenance.
From time-recorder watches, evolution has led us to use time and attendance terminals that can read cards equipped with a magnetic strip, cards with a proximity microchip inside with RFID 125 KHz, or Mifare technology up to NFC.
To detect staff attendance, we even offer terminals equipped, in addition to one or two proximity antennas, also with a fingerprint reader and even a facial fingerprint reader, that is, capable of recognizing the face of the person who is stamping in addition to the card.
Our time and attendance terminals transfer the time-stamps to the software that counts the hours worked through in the following ways: USB cable from terminal to PC, USB key, FM wireless, analog voice modem, GSM modem, GPRS modem, with TCP ethernet cable / IP, wi-fi TCP / IP, power over ethernet, ethernet on conveyed waves and via mobile phone.
There have various software solutions with data download mode with the operator or automatic with real-time web solutions.
The software is multi-station based on Access data (a license must be paid for each additional station). The software allows you to make detailed weekly and monthly reports by the employee or by the department. The software distinguishes the hours of night and day service. The consultation and modification of the markings are straightforward. The program automatically reports and corrects stamping errors. It is possible to export working hours and reports in multiple formats. Fast data download from all connected terminals. The program can manage any number of corresponding terminals.
This system was designed to be used with the job badge.
Time attendance machines are very reliable and are offered for retailers at the lowest price on the market; only for this month, they are ready for delivery at a meager cost because the price mark-up that the retailer makes to the end customer is avoided.
It is possible to buy our products directly from this site by paying by credit card or bank transfer, and you will receive in one day, by express courier, the goods that are always ready for delivery.
Our systems are tested and preprogrammed before shipment to be immediately ready for use once they arrive at the customer. In addition, we are available to provide any remote assistance, should it be necessary to install the software.
The first mechanical time-stamps had the merit of replacing handwritten lists and the physical presence of those assigned to the task of opening and closing the entrances to the company at set times; remember that following the industrial revolution, factories were open and closed for limited periods for the transit of personnel and that employees were often forced to remain inside the building until closing time.
The first-time stamps allowed workers to certify their schedules by using a simple validating machine and relieved the company of the burden of constantly monitoring compliance with the schedules with personnel specifically assigned to this task.
The use of increasingly advanced mechanisms has led to the birth of the electronic clock. Through the use of a badge, it has become possible to record employee time data on a magnetic tape and, later, on a microchip.
This innovation brought two immediate benefits: the first was the possibility of combining company access control with hourly registration thanks to the use of the same badge; the second concerns the greater precision and ease of consultation and sharing of computer data that were directly entered on the management system or collected in special databases.
Geo-localization is the next step in terms of time and attendance management technologies. Although much discussed, as far as respect for privacy is concerned, this potential is meeting the favor of many companies and workers; the possibility of validating the movements and the time spent ensures more efficiency for companies and protects the worker by identifying his position at every moment of his working hours. This is a very understandable advantage if internal issues arise or it is necessary to provide specific and precise data to external parties responsible for controls.???????
Computerization and App :
With the advent of the Internet and the growing computerization of companies, the concept of hardware has been gradually abandoned in favor of the agility and simplicity of use and installation of time and attendance software. Today it is possible to use Apps compatible with any device, from PCs to Smartphones and Tablets, thus recording one's timetables and their consultation by employees and companies wholly automated and secure.
Cloud technology has also made it possible to access these programs even outside of places and working hours, with specific functions designed to manage shifts, leave, holidays, etc.
In this way, both the company and the workers can safely carry out their duties without proceeding with the ritual of stamping the card. In addition, this opens up many possibilities for work activities outside the company, with more outstanding guarantees of protection for the employee and for the company thanks to the conservation and archiving of digital data.
Time Attendance Machine knows the path behind each application and has always aimed to develop the right tools for companies that want to always be in step with the times. For this People Time was born integrated with the most modern technologies and the know-how derived from the study of business needs and the relationship between man and technology.
