What is a contactless identification system

Identification systems represent a complex approach to identification of persons, property and vehicles in a company. Depending on the application, the system can be used to record and automatically process the employees‘ attendance (attendance system), to monitor and secure entries into designated areas (access system), to ensure the meal distribution system for the company employees, to evaluate work efficiency, or to provide other functionalities. All the applications utilize the same identification elements (card, key ring), which the employees use to identify themselves by bringing the identification card close to the scanning unit. It is not necessary to take the identification element out of the pocket or bag, the number is read correctly through any non-metallic material. Utilization of chip cards as an identification medium of persons and as carriers of personal information enables development of new applications and at the same time it ensures a significantly higher level or information security of the scanned data, including their processing and administration.

What are the advantages of a contactless identification system

System BIS® minimizes the time senior executives require to complete routine activities. Strategic decisions are supported by accurate and structured data (information about present and absent employees, statistics and overview of sickness rate, leaves, and other reasons for absence, etc.) with an option to evaluate the data by individuals, centres, or the whole company. At the end of every month, the system simplifies the work of the personnel and wage departments by transferring the required data to the wage system. It also provides the employees with an instant overview of their attendance. The system BIS® minimizes the human error.
