Data Collection Terminals


Kronos' Timekeeper terminals record time and attendance data when an employee swipes a badge or enters a personal identification number (PIN) through the keypad. Twelve programmable function keys also give users the flexibility to display or collect additional data. For example, employees can receive messages from their supervisors on the screen display or check their schedules or number of hours worked by pressing a key and swiping their badges through the reader.

Employees may use the terminals to transfer from one department to another, or from one job to another ensuring accurate transfer of labor charges and transition of labor rates. The terminals can also be programmed to accept only authorized or scheduled employee punches which helps to eliminate costly, unplanned overtime.

The Timekeeper terminals provide editing capabilities so supervisors can immediately correct punches or make edits right from the floor. They operate either in on-line mode for immediate data transmission and host system processing, or in off-line mode which allows data collection and validation while the host system is unavailable. In off-line mode, the host automatically polls the terminals at regularly programmed intervals, and transfers the stored data for processing. The terminals can limit access to secured work areas and, when equipped with a printer, generate copies of entries for employees and reports for supervisors.

The terminal can transmit data over a variety of communication lines, including Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, Modem, or Twinax. This flexibility allows you to take advantage of your existing network infrastructure, ensuring fast, reliable data communications.
