Android platform-based biometric reader

EOH Intelligent Infrastructure has developed the S-QUBE biometric reader, using Morpho biometric technology, incorporated onto an Android platform. According to the company’s national sales manager, Freddy Niehaus, this is the first reader of its kind to offer the flexibility required in mobile and remote site workforce management solutions. The Android platform allows flexibility in design and opens new horizons for workforce management solutions. With its various wireless capabilities, it is ideal for use in areas where network installation is difficult or where network infrastructure costs need to be reduced. The resultant savings on maintenance of networks are also an attractive benefit.

In addition to the fact that this is one of the first locally designed biometric readers to operate on an Android platform, the new reader also incorporates GeoTagging. “This is highly advantageous for accurate timekeeping of employees, specifically with regard to those employees who travel a lot,” said Niehaus.

Niehaus explained that the reader is preset via the cellular network to alert the user when he or she is approaching a specific, designated Geo Zone. Once in the designated Geo Zone, the reader will automatically be enabled and the employee can clock for time and attendance (T&A). Once the employee leaves the Geo Zone, the reader will go into lockdown mode until the employee arrives in a new designated Geo Zone. The reader is also ideal for construction and mining companies where limited communications infrastructure exists.

By incorporating the EOH Cloud solution platform, all S-QUBE biometric devices are hosted, allowing clients direct access to a comprehensive workforce management solution with limited infrastructure expenses.
