RFID for Time Attendance

Let me start telling the simple RFID technology that I presume really really applicable in here.

Have you ever seen a queue line of employee to punch their clock card during the end of office hour? Most of Us who had ever worked must really familiar with AMANO machine, that will print our visiting and leaving time.

Or at some place they're not punching a card anymore, they're swaping or scanning their ID card to barcode scanner? Or swapping them to MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader) ?

Yes, those cases are about Time Keeping Activities.Let me take you to a little math game :)
If one person took 3 seconds to do that action, and the sum of employee is 1000 person, how much time will they spend to do that? Yes you're right it's 3000 seconds and equal to 50 minutes! Can you imagine that recording our leaving time could take up to 50 minutes to finish. Anyway there are so many company in here that hired more than 5000 employee, the calculation will raise become 5 time bigger! Regardless this condition could be solved by adding more scanner engine, my question is how many scanner you should buy to make this activities lasts for not more than 10 minutes ???

Let's cut those crap, and I'll tell you how RFID technology can help much-much more efficient in Time Keeping Activities.
In this case we use an UHF RFID technology (I'll tell you more about this technology in my other post)
All you have to do just to put - 1 Pc UHF RFID Reader
- 2 - 4 Sets of Antenna
- UHF RFID card for each person (It's totally different with proximity card that used in banking Industry).
As you know in this era most of RFID Reader has a multi collision capabilty this means that RFID reader could read more than one tag simultaneously at the same time. And our UHF RFID Reader could read upto 2000 tags, yes TWO THOUSAND tags at seconds.

By those facts, the time keeping activities for at least 10,000 person could be finished less than 10 minutes, amazing hah?
But also terms and conditions applied, the gate that could be covered perfectly with our antenna is upto 5 meters, the smaller size of gate would be resulted a better reading performance.

So for anyone who owned that size of company or HRD Staff that always get headache to finish the calculation of working hour of each employee, It's time to change your old school technology with our RFID Time Attendance Solution, please feel free and do not hesitate to contact us, we are ready to give you the best curer, help and do the demo to your place.

FYI, right now we're doing some research to create more Advanced Time Attendance Solution, that can read every employee at the bus or any other vehicle, so in the near future,Timekeeping activities would be much more comfort for us, we don't even have to step out our vehicle, just sit nicely and every time your vehicle passing our antenna, your attendance time would be recorded automatically.

  1. Great Excellent, how is the scanning system work?
    Should each employee scan the RFID card to the Reader

  2. Dear Mark,
    Thanks for your comment. Basically Yes the employee ID card should be scanned during the process, but since we're using UHF RFID technology, the employee doesn't need to get close to the Antenna, with up to 5 meters distance our reader could interrogate any ID cards that passing the gate reader.
