Manages secure, efficient entry by tracking entrants, verifying IDs, and maintaining digital entry-exit logs.
A client with 150 employees working round the clock faced issues with employee discipline, particularly with unauthorized breaks. Initially, they had installed a biometric fingerprint machine at the entrance, but employees would circumvent the system by having one person tap the fingerprint, allowing multiple employees to exit. To address this, they hired three guards at a cost of Rs 15,000 per guard per month, totalling Rs 45,000. However, this solution led to frequent disputes between the guards and employees.
Solution:
We proposed installing a tripod-based turnstile system. This system allows only one employee to pass through at a time, ensuring that each person must individually punch in. The implementation of this system led to a 90% reduction in unauthorized exits, all without any disputes.
Outcome:
Within just three months, the client achieved a full return on investment (ROI) for the solution. Additionally, the hardware included basic software, and the client expressed interest in more advanced features. As a next step, we proposed our proprietary software, which offers advanced dashboard-based systems for attendance data insights and analytics. The client is now considering adopting this software on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) basis, further enhancing their management capabilities.
The “Assistance Control” project was inspired by the basic idea of the “Bologna Process”, a Pan-European collaboration which started in 1999, to adapt technology to provide a better quality of education that would allow improvement of the next generation of classroom teaching.
The best project finally chosen and tested involved students registered for classes with NFC phones, during the academic year 2011–2012 at “Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Campus Madrid” (UPSAM).
This resulted in the senior students at the School of Computer Engineering to certify 99.5% accuracy and ease of attendance that ensured continuous assessment without loss of instructional time allocated to this activity.
