What security systems do manufacturing sites need?

Manufacturing sites can benefit from a combination of access control, CCTV, visitor management, fire roll call and time and attendance systems. Ideally, these should work together through an integrated platform, helping to streamline operations while providing more accurate data, reporting and visibility across the site.

Which manufacturing businesses can benefit from Tensor's workforce management and security solutions?

Tensor's integrated solutions are suitable for a wide range of manufacturing environments, including factories and production facilities, warehouses, distribution centres and businesses operating across multiple sites. Systems can be configured around the requirements of your workforce, site and security needs, and expand as needed.

Can Tensor's systems work across multiple factories?

Yes. Tensor's software is designed to scale as your manufacturing operations grow, allowing multiple sites to be managed through one platform. This provides greater visibility of employees, attendance and access across your organisation, while allowing individual factories to be managed according to their own requirements.

Can Tensor's Time and Attendance system manage different shift patterns?

Yes. Tensor's Time and Attendance software can accommodate different shift patterns, working hours and overtime arrangements, making it suitable for manufacturing businesses with complex or varied working schedules. Managers can monitor attendance and working hours across departments, shifts and sites, helping manufacturers manage working time and ensure compliance with Working Time Regulations.

Tensor works out all the hours for the employees, so when it goes to accounts it puts the pay bands in. All the information goes to the pay system to pay them. The manager goes through it just before we upload it and makes sure any exceptions are cleared. He finds it really easy. He also creates reports for when people are off sick or looks for patterns.
