Genus Tracks Time With Fingerprints

Now more than ever companies have to be certain that their employees are properly keeping track of hours worked. Punch clocks are out, and electronic time clocks are in.

With the Genus I by Control Module, Inc., the days of shuffling time cards are over because the product serves as an electronic time card system.

The Genus I takes advantage of biometrics. With a scan of a fingerprint an employee’s identity is recognized and thus work on the job begins (or naturally, ends depending on the time of day). We all know that no two fingerprints are the same, so this solution is an ideal way of identifying employees. Time fraud is impossible, since no one can punch in or out for a fellow worker.

The interface of the Genus I time clock is programmable using Java, thus writing custom applications is fairly simple so long as you are proficient in the language. Other advantages include both wireless and Ethernet 10/100 network connectivity. It includes 8 MB of internal memory, which is expandable to 32 MB, but for even more storage expansion you can also have an additional 32 MB in Flash memory. Supported Internet protocols include HTTP, FTP, TFTP, PPP, JDBC, and XML.

The display is a simple LCD backlit no-frills system. Information can be entered using the built-in basic soft-touch keypad if necessary. The time clock itself is fairly rugged so it will withstand various types of working conditions. In case you’re wondering how tough the Genus is, it will function within a temperature range of 32-122 degrees F.

Most importantly, the Genus can be integrated seamlessly with a time tracking software solution of your choice.
