3D Facial Recognition installed at Total Infrastructure Ltd

New 3D Facial Recognition being installed at Total Infrastructure Ltd, saving the business time and money

Mr Ashok Kapadia, director of Auckland civil infrastructure, construction and facilities maintenance business, Total Infrastructure Ltd, is installing the latest new 3D facial recognition software “FaceClock” from Time Target, into his business for the New Year. After extensively looking for an overall solution to help with staff management, keep track of staff’s time and attendance and manage wage costs, Mr Kapadia chose Time Target’s FaceClock device.

One of the main reasons for looking into facial recognition software was because other biometric devices that use finger scanning to clock staff in and out, rely on a clean fingerprint and this isn’t always possible in their workshop environment. Working in an industry where employees have dirty hands due to the very nature of their work, meant that FaceClock would provide the best possible solution.

FaceClock simply scans the employee’s face, saves this information which you name accordingly and then recognises it from then on, so staff just have to look at the scanner momentarily and it will recognise their identity instantly, matching it up to more than sixty main points on their face, ensuring accuracy and verifying them for clocking in or clocking out. This information is then available to be used in rostering and award software and sent to payroll, saving even more time for Total Infrastructure Ltd’s busy office staff and eliminating any possible data entry errors.

The potential applications for using facial recognition software are extensive, because it’s also immune to weather extremes so it can be used in hot, humid or cold conditions, ideal for industries where hygiene is important, as well as various manufacturing industries or any business where no physical contact with a device is preferred and accuracy is important. FaceClock can also be linked to door access for security environments and is ideal for businesses that require an access control solution as well as clocking times.
