Biometric and geometric scanner

The clocking system we have developed is a biometric and geometric clocking system for the workplace. This will help revolutionise attendance and punctuality within the workplace as the scanner will be specific to each employee. This removes the need for key cards and fobs and instead uses a key code and an instantaneous hand scan.

The scanner itself uses both a hand scanner and a key pad. This increases security as both are needed to gain access. Furthermore, there is a small digital interface above the buttons so you can see what you have typed into the scanner. Additionally, the buttons are rubberised, making them more durable, and also have brail to allow for blind people to use the machine.

The scanner itself is right handed and has pins that act as alignment points as well as geometric scanning points. This allows for easy use of the machine as you can align your hand without even having to look at the scanner.

It is made from high quality materials making the machine very durable. Because of this you will rarely, if ever need replacement parts. However, in the event that you do need replacement parts, they are available from our website.
