Well, for starters, it is the most innovative facial recognition time clock on the market, that identifies or verifies the human face through a digital image or a video frame. And, when combined with ATS HCM feature-rich cloud computing software, you know you are going to get a huge bang for your buck.

Across Canada, and that includes the federal government, municipalities, provinces and many US states, have all mandated that their employees must vaccinated to enter their place of employment or partake in daily temperature checks. Many organizations, across different industries have instituted similar policies. Centres for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) recommends that temperature screenings should be conducted daily at all workplaces. And, while some companies use manual-based screening, automating this process will help with social distancing, increase health and safety and boost efficiency.

Here are some of the most advanced technology features, that will make you want to deploy ATS facial recognition time clock:

HR Functionality: Employees can key-in job numbers or perform department transfers, view previous punches, review current week and following week’s schedule, view accrual hours (time-off requests etc.) and enter $ or hours and quantity of hours at the time clock.  With up-to-the-minute analytic reporting HR, payroll and finance leaders can ensure a safe environment and consistent experience for all employees at the point of entry to the work-space. 

Thermal Temperature: Social distancing and contact tracing are both crucial elements of the new normal. Being aware of how your employees move through the workplace can be a tremendous help in mitigating risk and maintaining health and safety protocols. ATS facial recognition has the ability to check employees’ temperature before they clock in for their shift. The embedded thermal accurately measures employee temperatures and, if an employee is found to have a high temperature the reader will not allow them to punch in for the shift- and will grant a manager the option to handle this at their discretion. This cutting-edge biometric technology helps you maintain spacing and pinpoint problem areas if health issues do arise.  

For your IT Personnel: ATS Thermal Check Facial Recognition defaults to port80 but, is also designed for LAN and Cloud Computing environments. Other port installs include; dynamic DNS or static IP address. Network options: PoE support, Gigabit Ethernet, Blue Tooth, Wi-Fi enablement and more.

Human Voice Technology: ATS Thermal Check Facial Recognition includes a touch-free temperature readings without the need for additional human interaction and can be used as a single-function equipment that creates an accurate, multi-point temperature readings that helps keep your workplace safe. ATS Thermal Check Facial Recognition allows employees to fully interact with all essential clock functions with voice recognition, thus avoiding any physical contact and prevent the spread of disease.   

Mask Detection: With ATS facial recognition time clocks provides masks confirmation when employee punch in/out at the reader. The unit can instantly detect if a mask is being worn at the time of the punch with reliability, precision and exceptional matching speed. The advanced algorithm will still know who the employee is even with the mask on.
