SCM Microsystems Introduces Network-Based CHIPDRIVE Time Recording System

 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.
