Fingerprint and conventional clocking readers can be put in same network

Hoya, a company which makes and supplies ophthalmic lenses for opticians, has had to shed around half of its jobs at its Wrexham plant. The works committee at the factory said it would fight to get the best deal for staff who were going out of work. The firm employs 320 people at the Welsh plant, but calmed fears that the site would close by confirming it would operate at a reduced level.

One of the best ways your business can make the most of your staff if it is falling on hard times is a time and attendance clocking personnel system from Time & Attendance UK. Clocking in and out is simple – just hold the badge for a moment in front of the reader and it reads automatically. As there is no physical contact between the card and reader, neither will become worn-out by continuous use, unlike swipe readers. Fingerprint biometric scanners and conventional readers can be implemented in the same clocking network, giving your organisation as much flexibility as possible.
