When
Biometric attendance machines and access control systems took birth
in plastics, can there be any other option to offer them more
firmness?
Plastic,
a Stereotype for Biometrics:
The world is now well versed
with the thought on how a biometric attendance machine would look
like. If a person wants to go deep down into the Design &
Development part of it, apart from all the electrical and electronic
devices, it is majorly being made up of good quality plastic. And
that's what we desire for, in terms of outer finish and appearance of
a bio-metrically operated attendance machines and access control
systems as features are always given preference over the casing.
Why
the need for Metallic Casing appeared?
But the conditions are not
same everywhere. A light weight plastic made biometric
attendance machine can be best suited for Corporate offices
with fewer employees and comparatively less wear and tear as compared
to big industrial setups, factories, warehouses where a machine will
come in contact with Thousands of labors, workers, technicians and
many others. It would be difficult for a plastic to bear such amount
of load.
Unskilled labors are not
familiar with such equipments and training needs to be given to use
such machines but results won't be satisfactory as deformity will
definitely appear in the machine. Next problem arises with the
environmental conditions of such places as manufacturing units are
comparatively hotter, moist and unpleasant. On the other hand a
machine would come in contact with labor's dirty, greezy wet hands or
fingers making the machine more prone to defects and
UN-functionality. So the question here is,
Answer can be simple, to use
any metallic substance for casing of biometric machines but the next
obstacle will be the Design & Development facility with
which it can be designed, manufactured and assembled. This can only
be implemented by an Indian manufacturer with in-house Research &
Development team and facilities. Next struggle is with the user
friendly approach of the machine which should help the unskilled
employees to mark the attendance easily.
-
Symbols to show where to
punch the attendance through finger or card in National or Native
language can be the finest idea for labors
-
Visual confirmation through
Red/Green indicators can act as an add on for surety
-
Audible confirmation in
National/Native language can mark the final acceptance for
attendance
