Next-Gen Face Reader for Attendance & Meals

Star Link Communication, a pioneer in biometric and access control solutions, continues to innovate by adding intelligent features to its devices, including the Face Reader Attendance Device. These features are designed not only to streamline attendance tracking but also to enhance organizational discipline, resource management, and employee convenience.

Key Features of the Face Reader Attendance Device

1. Time Zone Configuration with Practical Example

Administrators can set specific time zones for attendance. For example, if the morning time zone is set between 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM, the device will accept punches only during this slot. Any employee punching after 9:30 AM will see a “Not in Shift” message, and their attendance will not be recorded.

• Benefit: This ensures punctuality, prevents late punches from being counted, and improves attendance accuracy.

2. “Not in Shift” Alerts for Better Discipline

If an employee tries to punch outside the allocated time, the system immediately rejects it with a “Not in Shift” message.

• Benefit: This discourages employees from arriving late and reinforces organizational policies.

3. Controlled Canteen Usage Example

The same rule applies to canteen operations. For instance, if the canteen time zone is set from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM, employees can punch for meals only within this window. Outside of this timing, the device shows “Not in Shift”, and no meal slip is generated.

• Benefit: Organizations can control food distribution, prevent misuse, and ensure meals are served fairly.

4. One Punch – One Meal Rule

Employees get only one slip per punch. For example, if an employee punches once at 1:10 PM, they receive a meal slip. The system will not generate another slip for the same punch.

• Benefit: This prevents employees from claiming extra meals on the same punch, ensuring fair usage and reducing wastage.

5. Multiple Time Zones – Morning & Evening

The system also allows setting multiple time zones. For example, an organization can set one attendance slot in the morning (9:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and another in the evening (6:00 PM – 6:30 PM) for shift-based employees.

• Benefit: Offers flexibility for companies with multiple work shifts, ensuring accurate records across all timings.

Why These Features Matter for Organizations

• Enhanced Accuracy: Attendance and meal records are only accepted within defined time slots, eliminating misuse.
• Improved Resource Utilization: Canteen services are restricted to set timings, reducing food wastage and saving costs.
• Stronger Policy Compliance: Employees follow company-defined timings for both attendance and meals.
• Streamlined Employee Experience: Clear rules mean no confusion—employees know exactly when they need to punch.
• Scalability for Future Needs: With Star Link’s in-house R&D, features can be customized to suit different industries.

With these advanced features, the Star Link Face Reader Attendance Device goes beyond just attendance tracking—it creates a structured, disciplined, and resource-efficient workplace.
