HAMILTON, N.J. — Biometrics technology provider Princeton Identity, based here, announces a partnership with Future Trend to launch a business solution for touchless time and attendance, access and tracking.
Based in Abu Dhabi, Future Trend manufacturers biometric-based time/attendance and access control solutions, as well as web-based applications for HR, ERP and payroll.
The new system developed by Princeton Identity and Future Trend is an integration of iris scanning devices with temperature sensors, and advanced Cloud-based HR management. It is currently available across the Middle East, with plans to expand globally.
“The collaboration with Future Trend leverages biometric technology to create a seamless experience for employees as they navigate their day-to-day activities, while allowing companies to capture critical HR data,” says Bobby Varma, CEO, Princeton Identity. “It’s part of our vision to expand the role of biometrics beyond access control into broader customized solutions for employees, visitors and other stakeholders across all industries.”
Princeton Identity’s Access200 products feature iris devices, plus temperature sensors to ensure fast, secure identification and access for healthy individuals. Built on the patented Iris-on-the-Move (IOM) technology, the contact-less reader is said to recognize a user’s iris in less than two seconds, indoor or outdoor, regardless of masks or glasses.
Combined with Future Trend’s OBO MILENIO software, the solution connects with a centralized HR platform to provide detailed reports for time and attendance, payroll and other employee data. The software eliminates the need for timecards, reducing payroll administrative costs, and provides a safeguard against time fraud or “buddy punching,” according to the announcement. Employee activities are tracked in real-time and across multiple sites.
According to Varma, the partnership highlights a new direction for future biometric technology where the user experience is at the center of each solution.
“This next-generation system merges security, customer experience and personalization,” she says. “It’s an evolution of our portfolio for the modern workplace.”
