The Ramco Innovation Lab in Singapore unveiled an advanced facial recognition based Time & Attendance System -RamcoGEEK, embedded with Temperature recording and IoT sensor doors to enable organizations move towards a ‘Touch -less’ attendance and workplace access, in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
COVID-19 has brought the focus back on ‘Hygiene’. With the Virus outbreak now reaching over 110+ countries and affecting more than 150,000 people; the concern around employee safety and health has gained paramount importance.
The Ramco Innovation Lab unveiled the innovation which drew upon its own facial recognition-based attendance system deployed across multiple organizations, globally and combined it with a thermal imaging device for temperature measurement as well as other associated software. This enables organizations to track staff or visitors with high temperatures that may indicate infection and build in operating procedures to avoid further contaminations caused by finger/thumb based biometric scanners.
Ramco Systems, headquartered in Chennai, India, is a global enterprise software specialist which has pioneered many HR-related innovations.
RamcoGEEK for Attendance with Temperature capturing can:
- Detect and match the faces of staff members and mark their attendance along with temperature; where facial based attendance is a privacy concern, enterprises can replace it with Voice to register access
- System is linked to an IoT sensor powered door which can restrict access in case the temperature is higher than normal and auto apply leave on behalf of the employee
- Communicate the information to HR and management in real-time
- Track the movements of a high-temperature staff in the workplace
RamcoGEEK for Visitors can:
- Send notifications when RamcoGEEK encounters a person with a very high temperature to the Facility Manager! Facility Admin
- Track the movement of that person within that premise
RamcoGEEK for Contact Tracing can:
- Send notifications / Alerts to all those employees, customers, vendors and others interacted with in-person, in the event any person develops COVID-19 symptoms! diagnosed
“We have a major global health pandemic that has affected many. The spread of the disease has brought the focus back on Hygiene and Health of Employees. We built this application to help better address a crisis through technology. Robust containment through a robust attendance and access system with zero contact and temperature measurement can be key to avoid easy spread of the virus that may take place with Biometric access system” said Virender Aggarwal, CEO – Ramco Systems.
“The launch of the advanced facial attendance system by Ramco Systems is timely, given global concerns over pandemic threats. We continue to see companies undertake a spectrum of innovation activities from Singapore, as they develop new products and solutions to address the needs arid challenges of today,” said Junie Fo, Director, Investment Facilitation, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
