We specialise in advanced time & attendance, access control, and security management systems

Biometric Time & Attendance

Biometric time and attendance systems and fingerprint recognition solutions for businesses.

Biometric time and attendance systems and solutions

With expert knowledge on industry challenges, a best-in-class approach, and over 30 years of experience, we provide innovative time and attendance systems. Our biometric hand scanners and biometric fingerprint readers are fully integrated with the highly modular Tensor.NET platform, and can also be operated with PIN codes and smart cards. For your clocking-in needs, speak to Tensor, the biometric time and attendance experts.

Fingerprint scanners and clocking-in stations for employees

Our biometric time and attendance clocking terminals support both thousands of employees and log thousands of clocking-in and out events, all with the ability to export to CSV files and payroll applications. With allocated door control and bell schedules, these clocking terminals have ultra-fast and secure biometric verification - with less than 1-second matching speed.

What does biometric time and attendance mean?

Biometrics is the technique of studying the physical characteristics of a person such as your fingerprint, hand geometry, eye structure or voice pattern. Biometric methods of identification work by measuring unique human characteristics as a way to provide irrefutable proof of identity, for example, finger or iris scanning or dynamic signature verification.

The main application of biometrics is the identification and verification of individuals. It may be done by a variety of methods, the most popular of which are fingerprinting, iris/retinal scans and facial recognition scans.

The benefits of biometric time and attendance systems

Biometric time and attendance systems make sure that employees are only paid for the hours they work, removing any and all opportunities for fraudulent time claims because each employee’s fingerprint is scanned and matched to verify attendance.

Face Authentication Terminals

Being a contactless system, it works by simply looking at the facial authentication terminal to clock in/out of work making it the perfect solution for facilities that require minimal touch. As it integrates with the Tensor time and attendance software. It represents a practical and very precise solution for a significant number of usage scenarios, from food manufacturing to clean rooms.

Noticeable benefits

  • Fusion Matching using Infrared and Visual Face Authentication
  • Contactless Solution
  • Eliminates buddy punching
  • Fast and easy to use up to 3000 matches/sec
  • Provides the most accurate time and attendance solution available

With the HSCAN Hand Scanner Terminal Series, there are no cards to create, administer, carry or lose - since each unit will identities in less than one second, based on the unique size of their hands.

Enhanced security and accuracy

Live Face Detection (LFD) feature that helps it accurately distinguish the faces of users. It perfectly blocks spoofing using photographs, synthetic materials or 3D-printed masks.

Anti-microbial protection

Being a touchless solution for clocking in and out, this allows for faster clocking process by allowing an employee to be clocked in by just looking at the device.

Data Encryption

Facestation F2 is equipped with security measures to protect user data, With the Highest level of device security including secure booting process, Encryption of all biometric credentials and personal information and Built on Android and all its security enhancements.

Biometric Fingerprint Scanners

Housed in an elegant case and easy to use, the Tensor T34xx Series Biometric Fingerprint Reader has been designed to meet the requirements of those who want absolute assurance that an employee is physically present at the time of clocking.

The reader is designed for use as an extra access control, time and attendance point also capable of reading smart cards. They are compatible with Tensor’s access control card readers, allowing you to mix fingerprint reading and non-fingerprint reading scanners on the same security network.

The fingerprint scanning window is a thick, heavy-duty glass that resists scratches and other stress to ensure long term usage. Once registered on the fingerprint scanner, the image of the patterns usually found on one's fingertips is converted into a code through a secure algorithm, which is then stored on a database for future comparison and authentication.

Whenever registered users have their fingerprints scanned, a comparison is made between the live fingerprint and the stored fingerprint template and if the two match, the event is saved in time and attendance controller database.
