In view of the fact that the employees are very large in the tea garden, it is not feasible to monitor all these people through manual approach. Star Link India addresses this with its chain of Biometric Attendance Machines particularly-designed for the tea industry.

Key Features:

• Worker Classification: Workers are classified into types such as: Permanent, Temporary and Adhoc for improved segregation and administration.
• Work-Heads Integration : Various work activities such as tea plucking, watering, labour work etc are set as “work-heads” in the system.
• Location Based Tracking: Workers get tagged with location cards and garden administrators can track farmer attendance based on the block or field they are attached to.

How It Works:

Every employee registers his/her fingerprints in the biometric machine and just places it on the biometric machine in the morning when he enters the workplace. The system records category of employment, assigned work-head, and location. This multi-modal attendance tracking prevents buddy-punching, verifies the appropriate worker proximity and generates accurate head count information in real time.

Tea Leaves Weighment

Tea leaf quantity in the past was relatively easily affected by subjective manipulations. Star Link India solves this by merging digital weighing scales with biometric systems.

After tea plucking, workers proceed to the weighment station where their identity is confirmed through biometric validation. The scale has built-in memory to record the previously measured water volume. The software is real-time and you can view current data against worker profile achievements immediately.

With real-time data capturing, manually entered errors are history and there is no longer the risk of data being tampered with while fair and honest payment has become transparent.
