Due to the lowering severity of Covid-19, the employees have gradually begun to return to their offices. Companies are implementing contactless attendance systems at entry points and within workplaces to enhance employee safety. Facial recognition is one such technology that corporations are interested in, and it has recently gotten a lot of attention.
Facial recognition is a technique for identifying a person based on their facial traits. It's so prevalent that it's even used to unlock screens on iPhones. Businesses are opting for facial recognition attendance solutions to increase employee confidence and avoid workplace contact as a result of Covid guidelines.
But what if we told you that a facial recognition system isn't necessary? Are you curious as to how? Continue reading to learn more.
What is the significance of facial recognition?
Prior to Covid, most businesses in India used biometric fingerprint devices to track attendance. With the pandemic breakout, the need to avoid touching any surface that could spread the sickness has grown more evident and ingrained in people's minds. Face recognition technology is installed at every checkpoint in and out of the organization to prevent virus spread and provide safe log-ins. The goal is straightforward: reduce contact as much as possible.
Other contactless biometrics, like iris and vein recognition, are available, but because of the high cost per unit, they are only available to larger sectors and organizations. In India, facial recognition technology appears to be a viable and cost-effective way for enterprises to promote workplace safety.
HRMantra does not require a biometric device.
Face recognition devices are required to help your field workers and other employees mark their attendance as your business units and mobile teams expand across geographic locations. Because maintenance and replacement costs are something that firms must expect and bear over time, they add up to a significant outlay.
HRMantra transforms your smartphone into a personal biometric device, eliminating the requirement for facial recognition biometric equipment. The goal is to make use of the technology without making it into full-fledged hardware. Marking, approving, and recording attendance is a breeze with HRMantra installed on your employees' cell phones.
Face-to-face registration
A one-time registration process is required when a user attempts to mark his or her attendance for the first time utilizing the Remote Clock-in feature on HRMantra App. Taking a few selfies is all that is required to complete the registration procedure. These selfies are used to develop facial embeddings for each user, allowing the system to detect and authenticate them whenever facial recognition is used to track attendance.
Benefits
Facial recognition attendance systems provide firms and their employees with a number of advantages in addition to safety.
