British biometrics firm Aurora has linked its facial recognition-focused time and attendance solution to smartphones and tablets, after a customer identified the requirement for a remote method of clocking staff on and off at their multiple temporary sitesThe new Aurora solution uses Android or Windows devices' built in cameras to capture an image of the operative, which is recorded and stored with the clocking event and the GPS location at that time.The Mobile Clocking and Tablet Clocking services have been designed specifically for the construction industry – the firm that sought the solution, Mulalley, is a contractor for construction, development, refurbishment and maintenance.Richard Hatcher, Mulalley's Purchasing /IT Director says: “The mobile application was perfect for us. The logs recorded by the phones are sent to the same database as our permanent site records, meaning they are easily accessible to administrators. The capturing of the GPS location means that we know our staff are in the right place at the right time.”Aurora's access control, identity management and time and attendance solutions have been delivered to over 1000 sites globally, logging over 15 million transactions a year.
