FlexTime Releases Face Recognition Terminal At Microsoft WPC In Los Angeles
Face Recognition : FlexTime recently released a new Face Recognition Terminal at the Microsoft WPC 2011 in Los Angeles.
There are many uses for the Terminal, for example:
- There is no need for employees to carry cards
- It's a hand free concept - very useful for example in the Health sector where staff often need to hold items
- It is "non contact" too - good for clean rooms or the more general cleaniness of hands
Face Recognition is also excellent for security puposes, and is equally useful for use as a time recording device. For example, personation, or as some call it "buddy clocking", is eliminated.
The Face Recogition Terminal can be used in conjunction with our VisonTime system in other ways too e.g.
- The "Who's In" programme shows who is in or out of the building at wall mounted TV sets and at PCs.
- The "Meeting Time" programme counts attendance at meetings
Now you can be sure that those who have clocked in or out, are exactly who they say they are!.
Other biometric options now avaiable for use with our VisionTime system include Fingerprint and Hand readers. Also, clocking via P.C.s, Tablet P.C.s and Mobile Phones is avaiable.
Oireachtas/Irish Parliament Clocks In....Again...
Following the much awaited General Election in Ireland, the T.Ds. or the Members of the Irish Parliament, are again now using FlexTime's system, to record the count of attendance at the Dail or Irish Parliament. This is so that the Members or Deputies can keep in accordance with the new rules for the payment of expenses, agreed in 2010.
Meanwhile, the 57 Senators at Seanad Éireann - or the Senate had continued to record at the system, after the end of the 30th Dail in February. This is because the current Seanad or Senate does not finish it's term until the end of April. Under the Irish Constitution, an election for the Seanad or Senate takes place not later than 90 days after the dissolution of the Dail. So from the end of April onwards, once sitting days begin again, a new attendance count starts for the Senators in the FlexTime system.
