Biometric tracking system deployed at Scottish university for employee monitoring and management

One of the largest higher education institutions in Scotland has deployed a biometric tracking system for monitoring attendance and improving employee management, a recent news report has revealed.

The Russell Group university installed 11 biometric kiosks at two of its campuses in a bid to track staff as they clocked in and out of work.

The move have come under fire from trade unions and privacy groups, who have argued that the biometric tracking systems will not improve overall management and will lower staff morale.

A spokesman for the university said: “Any decision to implement a system of this kind would take place only after full consultation with colleagues involved.”

Tensor biometric tracking system offers extensive monitoring options

Tensor plc has an extensive level of experience in the field of biometric time and attendance systems, so it can help you install the most secure and reliable biometrics equipment, while in the same time keeping within your set budget for this task.

We offer a range of biometric time and attendance systems designed specifically for those who want peace-of-mind, certainty and the assurance that only the right people can gain access to your sensitive or dangerous areas. Furthermore, our biometric readers will not store full scanned images of the users’ fingerprints, but rather biometric data – specific information regarding one’s biometric features.

These biometric time and attendance systems come packed in a very elegant and stylish case, while in the same time being extremely easy to use. Plus, they’re very easy to interconnect with our proximity card access scanners, allowing users to mix fingerprint reading and non-fingerprint reading scanners on the same security network.
