Communications structures within and throughout companies are undergoing great change nowadays. The world of recording time and attendance (T&A) is also affected by this trend, as companies today are very much interconnected with one another, and will expose themselves even more as network links continue to proliferate.
The Bedanet Terminal (where 'net' stands for network) has been developed by Kaba Benzing as a time and attendance recording terminal of the next generation. It is based on Java technology and, in its basic form, has already been designed to fully link into the open networks of the future. The new terminal combines a high-tech concept along with design and ergonomics and opens up completely new opportunities for the user.
Says Total Access' Shaun Bosworth, "Bedanet works just like a network computer (NC). The NC draws its application from the network, which is also used to file data as well as to dispatch and provide program updates and function updates. The network can be an intranet, the Internet or an extranet. This concept has been tailored to the special role of recording time and attendance. The Bedanet can be used in standalone mode with data buffering and data sampling which is necessary in the environment of recording time and attendance."
The Bedanet Terminal has a graphic display, which is simple to operate with the integral touch screen. It displays functions to the user with coloured buttons; for instance - coming and going, authorised absence or interrogation of current time balances.
The supplied screen masks clearly display the forward-looking ways of using the Bedanet terminal:
p Compatibility for general use with the Bedas 9000 series of terminals that have already been installed.
p Client-server time management configurations in the lntranet.
p Internet applications for systems throughout companies and corporations.
