AI Biometric Attendance
vs
Traditional Attendance Systems
Should you go for an AI-powered Biometric Attendance System or continue with your old traditional system?
Which one provides more accuracy, security and efficiency to your organisation?
Explore the straightforward comparison and discover why forward-thinking organisations are choosing AI-powered biometrics.
What's Traditional Attendance & Why It's Inefficient
Explore the outdated attendance methods still in use and the inherent Challenges they present to modern organizations.
Traditional attendance methods
Manual sign-in sheets/ registers
Punch cards / mechanical time clocks
ID cards / RFID swipe cards
PIN / code-based logins (on a local terminal or PC)
Challenges with Traditional Attendance
Buddy punching / proxy attendance
Someone else can mark attendance in place of another
Manual error / incorrect entries
Handwriting issues, oversight, lost sheets
Delay in data processing
Manual collection and entry into payroll/HR systems
Fraud/misuse
Lost cards, sharing cards, PIN leakage
What is AI Biometric Attendance?
AI Biometric Attendance uses biometric identifiers( fingerprints, face, iris, etc.) enhanced with Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning to verify identity accurately and in near real-time.
Key features:
Face recognition using AI algorithms
Anti-spoofing / liveness detection (detecting fake photos, masks, etc.)
Cloud API integration / real-time sync
Multimodal biometrics (face + fingerprint, etc.)
Secure cryptographic storage/ encryption
