In the modern age where the business environment is fast growing, companies need more security and accuracy. Biometric time clocks are convenient devices that offer these features. A biometric time clock is the electronic version of the timecard-punching machine. It uses human body parts as identification markers for employees.

Biometric time clock parts include a main terminal with a cable, a serial port adapter, user memory, transaction memory, time clock motor, stamp handle, drive cam, and battery. Other parts include timecard racks, timecards, and time clock ribbon and cartridges. Timecard racks are metallic racks with a powder-coat finish. For locking time cards when not in use, lockable security cabinets are available. A computer with employee time-tracking software for Windows is needed for working the equipment. Signaling devices of low voltage such as horns, bells, buzzers, and transformers are other accessories. This timekeeping system uses employee ID badges for identification that are magnetic encoded.

The biometric time clock terminals scan the size and shape of the employees’ hands to verify their identities each time they punch in. The employee can punch in only if the matching image is found in the memory of the equipment. This method offers maximum security and prevents identity theft.

Biometric hand-scan results are periodically uploaded to the computer where the automated timekeeping system is maintained. This lessens manual efforts to maintain the attendance record of companies with flexible time schedules. Records that are stored in the device are downloaded directly into a payroll system. A biometric time clock also supports door access control so that only the person with matching access card can gain entry.

Time clock parts are stocked by manufacturers themselves as well as other companies who maintain inventories of biometric time clock parts of almost all leading manufacturers. Most of the biometric time clock parts are supported by manufacturer warranty.

The biometric time clock system is a great advantage for today’s business centers, which place more importance on goods, trade secrets, convenience, accuracy, and security.
