Judicious selection of biometric devices: Don't go for short term "monetary gain"

In each business, there is innumerable contender to occupy more room within the market. The sole motive of each company is PORIFT. Each company vests their best resources to realize a lot of outcomes. However, in B2B sales, the entire responsibility is on the part of the client, that how judiciously they select the services, which might provide them long term satisfaction.

Now-a-days, biometric systems are spreading their limbs in numerous verticals. Each alternative standard strategy is being replaced with these biometric technologies. However, in terms of short "monetary gain", companies create mistakes relating to the choice of good biometric devices. There are numerous parameters that must be consummated before choosing any system/solutions.

There are several competitors who primarily import the devices and sell it further. Also, biometric attendance devices are obtainable on-line, however, once you get it, no one is there to assist you out with the installations and service/support.

Initially, biometric group action system and devices look to be pretty traditional machinery, however, once looked into it deeply, its operating functionality looks complicated. Thus to handle these complexities, an experienced team is required.

If you erroneously select the incorrect device to realize short-term profit; you're undoubtedly aiming to loose following long run profit:

Service/Support: The devices that are imported and sold at a lower cost, undoubtedly they do not give proper service/support. Also, a number of the companies take the devices with them when there is any discrepancy and after repairing it, they re-install. However, at Star Link, we offer 24x7 on-site/off-site support, as we've got PAN India presence with experienced engineers.

A Possibility of Customization: Once you install the attendance machines, the chance of customization reduces. Suppose, you installed a device that served specific functions, although within a time span, company's policy changes then you're left with no choice except changing the system. However, Star Link offers you to customize your solution/system according to your needs.

Data Centralization: Suppose you operate from different branches across different locations, your data should be centralized into one server. However, a number of biometric device supplier does not provide data centralization.

Multiple shift management: Within the case of multiple shifts, the machines that are imported are incompatible with it. They have fixed set of operation that cannot be modified. However, the devices of Star Link can add multiple shifts and generates completely different reports for various shifts.

Software compatibility: The software compatibility also matters when you are going to install any attendance system. It remains a major concern, whether it will be interfaced with Payroll software, HRMS, ERP or any other software or not. But, Star Link devices are compatible with any software installed in the company.

Also, there are other parameters that must be looked upon before selecting any imported/cheaper devices. Star Link is a leading Indian manufacturer operating within the path of bringing wonderful technology in biometric business.

Biometric Attendance Management System in India

In India, companies are heading towards more technologically advanced attendance systems to manage employees. Though, there are still many other companies who are following the conventional method for managing attendance. But in the last few years, biometric attendance system replaced other conventional time and attendance system.

Entering into an automated attendance management system, the big firms will reduce their administrative costs and reducing extra human effort saving a lot of time. It is not a secret that big firms and companies faces the major problem with processing the payroll of the employees and also the proper management of employees. To reduce this hassle, the firms with different employee strengths are using biometric attendance system. This system helps to maintain the records, employee wise and thus each report can be processed with a simple click of the mouse.

The old and conventional method has more chances of manipulation with the record and data. In fact, the old attendance management process involves a lot of paper work and workers, which is hectic and have more chances of error. Due to this hassle, salary processing and report maintenance seem to be a tough task, consuming more time than normal.

Earlier most of the companies or firms were using the register book to maintain the track record of any employee with their names, time-in, time-out and other details. The problem with the manual maintenance of records were time consuming, inaccuracy, unreliable and most important, it was less secure or can be manipulated with ease.

But with the advancement in the recent technology, firms are using biometric time attendance system, which is user friendly and easy to use. It is a very fast process to maintain records of each employee with their status. Only with a simple click of mouse, reports are generated (daily or weekly or annually, depending on your choice). The most significant advantage of this system is that, it is an accurate and quick way to maintain the records.

It's not a denying fact that relying on the outdated paper-based time and attendance system can cost a business in multiple ways. So to save those losses, use sophisticated systems incorporating highly accurate, convenient and suitable data capture methods applying user-friendly and versatile method of operating for maintaining the records.

With the usage of the latest technology of attendance system, no any kind of manipulation is now possible and the payroll processing has become easier and less time consuming.

If anyone wants to organize their business or firms, they can easily integrate their payroll systems, accounting systems or any solution, to get the effective after results with great flexibility.

How Star Link managed a huge workforce of SIS Security Services?

Star Link India has worked for many big names and accomplished the promising task with ease. We have already discussed many major projects we have completed and the result was outstanding. The major concern of Star Link's team is client satisfaction, as we want to make a long term relationship. Through this blog, I will focus on the problems and solutions given by us to SIS Security Agency. SIS is India's largest security agency that deals with manpower transfer, security services, cash transfer, and ATM security.

Since SIS employs huge number of employees across the nation, and it's pretty tough for them to manage the employees accordingly. So to streamline their workforce, Star Link India helped them by offering a solution. A device, namely Bio-LYNX has given to them, which worked on different modes like GPRS, Wi-Fi, Ethernet etc..

Initially, the major problem faced by them was the attendance of security guards deputed on remote location. This also included the data maintenance of each employee.

The security guards of SIS are deputed at different fronts, where there is no connectivity sometimes. Looking this factor, Star Link India provided the Bio Lynx device which works on GPRS mode. As the finger is punched into the machine his data are sent to the central server connected to the device. Data push technology pushes the data each time the punching is done.

The enrollment of new employees is done by the admin through the server. The list of the names of the employee is sent to the device and fingerprints are enrolled with each name. The list of the employees is sent department wise or machine wise. This helps to remove the manipulation with the records. Except admin, no any other person can enroll fingerprint or do anything. Also, suppose any employee left the job, if his name is deleted from one machine, then it gets deleted from other machines as well.

Other features which make our device more useful is -- 250+ machines are connected to the central server using GPRS, data push technology has been incorporated in the device to send the data immediately punching is done. The devices which are used to take the attendance are charged with chargeable adapter. There is no need of LAN or any wired connection to send the data.

The SIS employees are spread in longest dimension, so managing their attendance, now has been easier as the data is automatically sent to the central server. Star Link India has helped them to streamline their employees. Doing these kind of projects, we are proving our credibility and reliability amongst clients.

How Fingerprint Recognition Technology Works in Our Devices ?

Biometrics have taken a long flight in the attendance system in this rapidly growing era of technology. Biometrics is the identification of a person based on his intrinsic characteristics, such as voice, fingerprint, iris, face and hand geometry, etc. But the most famous biometric characteristics used in attendance devices are fingerprint recognition. Fingerprint recognition is one of the most popular biometric techniques used in automatic personal identification and verification.

The use of biometrics has revolutionized the technology and level of security, wherever the biometric devices are installed. But in the course of design and development of biometric devices, the use of fingerprint recognition technology is used.

StarLink India uses the “Fingerprint Recognition Technology"StarLink India uses the “Fingerprint Recognition Technology” for verification process in its devices. During this matching process we use minutiae matching for finger verification with its template. But again the question arises, how does the template is formed? And what is minutiae matching?

Let us discuss all about the process of fingerprint template formation and minutiae matching. May be the step will seem very complex, but this whole process takes place in milliseconds.

The fingerprint is captured through optical sensor, which takes the mono-chrome image of finger print in 8bit-grayscale. Then, the 8 bit grayscale images are converted into 0&1 depending on the permutations & combinations of the nearby pixels. This is decided by running an algorithm.

Initially the image of a fingerprint that is captured by optical sensor accompanied by the CMOS sensor is in grayscale, which is not so clear. The image is filtered based on FIR (Finite Impulse Response) is used to convert the gray scale images into single thin line and as a result sharp image of fingerprint pattern is formed. Undirected lines are removed and each cut marks and unwanted marks are removed and the ridges are joined for the perfect pattern.

After this process, Gabor filter is used, which forms the 4X4 block of pixel. Then, points are marked on valleys, ridges, bifurcations and deltas. Then its 15-20 minutiae are marked in X-Y axis, including the direction of the minutiae. A unique pattern is formed by matching minutiae with its directions. Thus, the image formed is a final fingerprint template which is an array of minutiae of 240x320 pixels in the range of 200-500 byte.

Now templates of fingerprints are stored in the memory of the device. After the storage of template, whenever anyone punches, the templates stored is matched with his fingerprint. The matching is done on the basis of “matching score”, which is fixed by the admin. We have to take care while deciding the Matching score, because the FALSE ACCEPTANCE RATE increases with decrease in security score, whereas FALSE REJECTION RATE increases when security score increases.

The fingerprint matching is done in Our Devices on the following methods:-

1:1 matching: In this method, employer shows their attendance card (which holds it details), then a message comes off “Put finger”. So when he shows the ID, the finger template is stored against his name is matched with the fingerprint he is punching. And after which message of success or failure comes. It is very fast matching method which takes less time; and this method is perfect for the workplace of more than 1000 employees.

1:N matching: In this method, the employee punches and his fingerprint are matched with the total number of templates stored in the device and depending on the matching score, the success or failure rate is decided. This method is perfect for the work place of less than 1000 employees as it takes more time than the previous one.

All this process is handled by a dedicated DSP (Digital Signal Processor) running at 400 MHz speed in StarLink's Devices.

Although it may appear to be a simple process, fingerprint recognition involves the state-of-the-art technology in hardware, for the readers, and software, to process the fingerprint images and templates. But due to the effort of our hardware and software team, all this complexity is hidden and fingerprint technology usage is nowadays as simple as touching the reader.

StarLink has expertise in manufacturing and designing the fingerprint system according to the requirements. So if you want to consider this technology and want a flawless operation of your biometric devices, then StarLink will certainly help out with best device. 

Tea Garden Solution - Easy, Efficient and Effective Solution for Managing Work Force

Tea Garden

After a lot of research and study, Star Link has developed a solution namely "Tea Garden Solution", which helped to remove the problem prevailing in the tea gardens. Almost at each level, there was a problem which hampered the productivity, proper records were not maintained and thus there were monetary losses. But the solution from Star Link helped to remove each problem with ease and a simple click of mouse, helping in proper and hassle-free working.

Working on this project was a big task as the whole system was moving haphazardly without any proper channel. This was causing losses of different kinds to the Contractors or the Tea Garden owner. Some other manipulations were also there which resulted into improper channelization of resources and financial deficit.

Problems:-

There were many problems prevailing for longer time. There were much more complexity in working, but following are the few major problem which Star Link considered and developed its Tea Garden Solution.

1. The Major prevailing problem was that the number of workers were not certain, in fact more workers were issued card and other ID proofs.
2. Then, there were no categorization of workers depending on their kind of work they were doing and other parameters of working.
3. The location wise detailed report was not available with the authority to process the data and also channelize the worker at right location.
4. The work head (kind of work) of workers were not defined. Thus no any report was generated based on the kind of work they are doing. Only manual records were maintained, which has more chances of manipulation.
5. Manipulation in the weighing of tea leaves.
6. Attendance processing and maintenance of other records were a hectic task to do.

Solution:-

Tea Garden Solution

Star Link India provided a Customized Solution to solve all these problems prevailing for such a long period of time. The Tea Garden Solution is developed by Star Link India especially for tea gardens. Actually, Tea Garden solution is a software accompanied with a Star Link device Bio-Star which is modified and

developed keeping in mind about each and every minute details about the complexity of working at tea gardens. This solution helped to manage the workforce and streamline the process. This helped to keep track record of each employee by maintaining the record of location of work. It also help to keep the weightment record of tea leaves plucked by workers in due time. These reports can be further used at tea processing plant.

Working Process :-

Initially, the finger-print of each worker is registered in the software through biometric device for keeping their records. Each workers are also be issued a proximity card. Since, finger-print is a unique physical identity, so it cannot be replicated for any kind of misuse. This removes the manipulation of every kind at every level and brings transparency.

Tea Garden Worker Cards

Then, Work Head cards ( kind of work like plucking leaves, water sprinkling, weeding, ploughing land etc can be designated according to the requirement) and Location cards (location may vary from Garden 1, Garden 2, Garden 3 etc.) are also registered in Software.

Now, the main process starts while working. The attendance of each worker is taken through machine by punching their finger-print on the Star Link device with Location and Work Head card, which define their location and kind of work. Since the devices are connected to the software, so the reports are generated location wise and work wise, at any fixed time. These reports tell us about the number of workers present at particular location and for particular work. Now, this will help us to manage the shortage of workers at specific location or specific kind of work. We don't have to maintain any paper records for this report. It will be generated with a simple click of mouse.

At tea gardens, according to existing policy 3 times of weightment of tea leaves is done in a day. Star Link Devices are connected with the weighing machine having RS232 serial port that helps to transfer the data. The weight of plucked tea leaves are measured though machine and measurement is shown on the DISPLAY connected and measurement is added to the name of the worker through proximity card. This process is pretty fast and operates without pressing any key or button, which reduces the chaos. Being operational through software and machine with unique identity, its almost impossible to manipulate the weightment of tea leaves. This process continues for 3 times a day and the cumulative sum of tea leaves plucked is added against the name of the employees and also in their card. This allows everyone to get the exact benefit as much as they are liable for.

                         

Features of Tea Garden Solution:-

1. Star Link's Tea Garden Solution generated 6 to 8 kinds of reports depending on the location, kind of work, attendance and work summary of the day including status of each workers.
2. It also allows you to divide the workers into different categories depending on their kind of duty. Like Normal Special or Casual depending on policy.
3. This solution can maintain the data in device and software for more than one financial year.
4. This can also be connected through interface to the existing ERP for salary processing.
5. Discrepancy Report is also generated which shows the status of the workers who forget to punch when day is called off, also for those workers who started plucking leaves without punching attendance or for those workers who didn't give 3 times weighment.
6. Devices (Bio-star) can also generate the summary report of employee-wise tea plucking records by simply pressing a key.        
   
7. Weighment record for each time zone is generated by Device (Bio-Star) and also non-plucking staff.
8. Each report generated in .xls file (excel sheet) which makes it easy for further processing.
9. Its a window based software with SQL Express data base, so there is no any requirement of license and renewal policy.
10. Location report allows the user to maintain the records of the area where tea leaves have been plucked.
11. All these processes are done with a simple click of mouse without any worry and hassle of complexity in working.
12. Reduces time, manpower and monetary Losses.
13. And many more....
