BASIC FUNCTIONS OF BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE SYSTEM
- registration of work hours based on all or chosen T&A statuses:
- start-end work hours
- on-duty in/out (business)
- off-duty in/out (personal)
- record of employee attendance
- on-line events monitoring (T&A statuses)
- accounting for actual work hours only
- collaboration with professional (copyrighted) BIOFINGER/SW software
- collaboration with payroll software
- an option to extend and link with BIOFINGER-AC/T&A, BIOFACE-AC/T&A or RFID-AC/T&A system in any way
ADVANTAGES OF BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE SYSTEM
Biometric fingerprint Time and Attendance systems [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE] guarantee and offer:
- that no personal data (digital fingerprints images) of an employee will be processed by an employer
- effective elimination of dishonest behaviors, such as: failure to observe work hour schedule, showing up late, leaving early without authorization, favors between employees, including false T&A authorization with card substitution or forging signatures on attendance lists
- increasing employee discipline and work ethic
- significant cut down in losses prompted by remuneration of hours not worked
- 100% certainty of users` identity
- the highest level of security and reliability
- comfort of using a biometric system (carrying RFID proximity cards or memorizing PIN codes is unnecessary)
- short authorization time of users (less than 1 second)
- an option to export registers (AC/T&A events) to payroll software
- feeling of comfort and safety for both the employees and the employer
Only biometric technologies, such as offered by the PTC SECURITY SYSTEMS company: biometric fingerprint Time and Attendance system [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE], guarantee absolute certainty of registered users’ (employees’) identity.
Because of biometric technologies all dishonest behaviors of employees are futile. These activities, aimed against an employer, concern employees who fail to observe work hour schedule, show up late for work, leave early without authorization, and do favors between each other including false T&A authorization with card substitution or forging signatures on attendance lists.
Biometric systems [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE] are the most successful means of motivating employees to observe established working time. The systems allow for creating a precise log of actual work hours (start/end work hours, on duty in/out for business purposes, off duty in/out for personal purposes) and contribute to an increase in discipline and cost reduction in every company.
DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE SYSTEM OPERATION
Biometric fingerprint Time and Attendance systems [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE], based on fingerprint readers BIOFINGER.xxxM-T&A series with a built-in MIFARE proximity cards module, are aimed for:
- electronic record of employee attendance
- electronic record of work hours
- work time control
- accounting for actual work hours
of registered users (employees).
Biometric fingerprint readers can register 2, 4, 6 or more T&A statuses, so-called events:
- start-end work hours
- on-duty in/out (business)
- off-duty in/out (personal)
- other
A biometric reader has got 6 function buttons, memory storage of up to 1.500 digital fingerprint images and records up to 30.000 events. All events (T&A statuses) are stored in the internal memory of the biometric readers. Data is sent and downloaded from the biometric terminal using:
- local LAN network
- wide WAN network
- RS232/485 serial communications
- WIFI network
- GPRS network
- PenDrive device
or optionally:
DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF USER AUTHORIZATION
Users of a biometric system [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE] after choosing a proper T&A status position a MIFARE card (1k, 2k or 4k) near a biometric reader then follow with placing one of the registered (stored on the MIFARE card) fingers directly on the optical scanner and wait for correct authorization of the digital image of a fingerprint. An identification of a digital fingerprint image lasts approx. 0,5 sec. in 1:1 mode.
PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION
Personal data which an employer is allowed to process (accordingly to the Act on Personal Data Protection and the Labor Code) are name and surname of an employee and the ID number of a proximity card, MIFARE type, owned by the employee. The RFID card with a surprint may also be treated as a permanent pass. An employer may record (process) only serial numbers (ID numbers) of the proximity cards. What is important, the employer, while processing employee personal data in BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE system and BIOFINGER/SW software, may only use the name and surname of the employee and the ID number of the proximity card owned by the employee.
The main idea behind using [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE] system operating in MIFARE technology is creating a situation where the employees themselves, not the employer, process their personal data.
These solutions remain to offer a 100% guarantee of a person’s (e.g. an employee) identity. Correct authorization is not possible without using a registered MIFARE card and placing one of the registered fingers on an optical scanner.
A biometric reader, while authorizing a user, verifies only if the biometric data (digital fingerprint images stored on a biometric MIFARE card) match with the digital fingerprint images read (scanned) in real time.
EXAMPLE TECHNICAL CONFIGURATION SCHEME OF ACCESS CONTROL AND/OR TIME&ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

The PTC SECURITY SYSTEMS company offers various configuration options of biometric or proximity Access Control and/or Time&Attendance systems based on: FINGERPRINT, FACE GEOMETRY, RFID proximity cards or PIN codes.
Biometric systems BIOFINGER-AC/T&A, BIOFACE-AC/T&A or RFID-AC/T&A can be configured and expanded in any way. Along with the development of our Customers’ companies configuration can be changed in any way, or another BIOFINGER-AC/T&A, BIOFACE-AC/T&A or RFID-AC/T&A set can be added - which ensures full protection and safety in the future.
The number of fingerprint readers BIOFINGER-T&A series, operating in biometric systems [BIOFINGER-T&A/MIFARE] is defined and adjusted to the number of employees, buildings, building entrances and other demands of Customers.
