SCM Microsystems Introduces Network-Based CHIPDRIVE Time Recording System

  • Jul 02, 2007
 SCM Microsystems Inc. recently introduced a network-based version of its CHIPDRIVE Time Recording solution that allows small and medium-sized enterprises and public facilities to record and review the current working hours of their employees in real time. CHIPDRIVE Time Recording Network includes forgery-proof smart cards for 25 employees, which are used as time cards and can be personalized for each employee. Also included is the CHIPDRIVE terminal, which serves as a time clock and connects with the local area network to transfer all clocking data directly to the server.

The terminal can be installed on the wall or can be used as a tabletop device with an optional stand. Additional smart card readers can also be added to enable employees to clock in and out from their own desks or work areas. Data can also be transmitted from home offices to the central server via the Internet. CHIPDRIVE Time Recording Network can therefore be used in any small business or enterprise.

The software CHIPDRIVE Time Recording ensures that clocking data such as project times, holidays or work absences and special settlements can be quickly and easily analyzed and is available right when needed. For example, the holiday view provides a complete view of holidays, sick days and other free days for all employees and allows the reviewer to export them to Excel. Several projects can be classified in activities, to allow additional differentiation and evaluation of project working times.

The CHIPDRIVE terminal includes a simple and intuitive menu and a graphical display that shows the date and the time, current clocking data as well as the time balance of the employee. Individual project numbers can be set using the key pad. In addition, the terminal is compliant with already existing CHIPDRIVE time recording systems, which enables the simultaneous use of the terminal and the mobile battery-operated CHIPDRIVE reader.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
