The personnel entry and exit management of manufacturing factories has long faced three major pain points: thousands of people pass through during peak hours in the morning and evening, and traditional card swiping systems are difficult to eliminate clock ins and tailgating; Lack of refined authorization isolation between workshops, warehouses, research and development areas, and administrative buildings poses a safety hazard if unrelated personnel accidentally enter sensitive areas; HR manually calculates attendance every month, which takes several days and is prone to errors. In response to these practical challenges, HFSecurity, as a professional biometric solution provider, has launched an intelligent biometric attendance and access control solution suitable for manufacturing enterprises based on the characteristics of factory scenarios. This solution integrates multimodal attendance terminals, channel gates, and HFIMS management platform, effectively helping enterprises achieve improved traffic efficiency, automated attendance data, and refined control of regional permissions. With over 20 years of experience in the research and manufacturing of biometric devices, this solution has been successfully implemented in multiple electronic, automotive parts, and food processing enterprises in China and Southeast Asia.
In a factory environment, traditional fingerprint attendance often fails due to employees' fingers getting oily and worn, while facial recognition is affected by strong backlighting and wearing masks. The HFSecurity attendance terminal supports free selection of biometric recognition methods such as facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, QR code recognition, IC card recognition, iris recognition, and palm vein recognition. Enterprises can flexibly combine them according to the actual situation of different job types. For example, assembly line employees use facial recognition, machining workshops use oil resistant capacitive fingerprint sensors, and R&D personnel use palm vein to achieve higher levels of security. The equipment adopts a large screen to enable workers to clearly understand their recognition situation, making it easy to operate. The touch screen surface is coated with scratch resistant and oil resistant coatings, and supports wet hand recognition. In areas with unstable networks, attendance machines can store tens of thousands of records offline and automatically synchronize them to the background after the network is restored to ensure that data is not lost.
HFSecurity provides four types of turnstiles: three roller turnstiles, swing turnstiles, wing turnstiles, and full height turnstiles. Enterprises can flexibly choose according to actual traffic flow, safety level, and site conditions:
Three roll gate: adopting a mechanical rotating rod design, only one person can pass through each time, and the gate rod cannot rotate in the opposite direction, eliminating tailgating from a physical structure, suitable for ordinary workshop entrances and employee main passages, with high cost-effectiveness.
Wing Lock: Equipped with flexible wing plates that can quickly open and close, it has a faster passage speed and a simple appearance. It is suitable for clean workshops, administrative buildings, or areas with high requirements for passage efficiency.
Swing gate: With wide channel characteristics, the channel width can be customized according to needs, and can accommodate forklifts, handcarts, or bicycles. It is commonly used in logistics channels or mixed entrances and exits.
Full height gate: It adopts a fully enclosed revolving door body, with a height exceeding the height of an adult, completely preventing tipping and tailgating. It is suitable for high security level factory boundaries, dangerous goods warehouses, data centers and other places.
All gate machine bodies are made of 304 stainless steel, and key motors and sensors have been treated for dust and moisture prevention. They can withstand tens of thousands of opening and closing cycles per day, making them suitable for high-intensity use in factories.
The real-time upload of each pass record (personnel identity, time, gate location) collected by hardware devices to the HFIMS platform, the core functions of which include:
Attendance automation: supports multiple shifts (day/night/mid shift), cross departmental complex scheduling rules, automatically compares the traffic records and shift plans of each gate channel, and generates standard reports such as tardiness, early departure, absenteeism, overtime, etc. HR can export Excel with one click and directly integrate with the enterprise salary system.
Regional permission management: Management personnel can set independent authorization lists for different gate channels in the background. For example, ordinary employees are only allowed to enter the R&D building through the workshop entrance gate and cannot enter; The team leader authorizes additional warehouse access; The visitor QR code is limited to the front desk area and will expire on a timed basis.
Blacklist management: supports adding resigned employees, violators, or specific high-risk individuals to the blacklist. When blacklisted personnel attempt to be identified in any gate channel, the system will refuse access and automatically trigger an alarm, while recording their attempt time and location, effectively preventing resigned or unauthorized personnel from entering sensitive areas.
Real time monitoring and alarm: When unauthorized personnel attempt to break in, the gate will sound and light an alarm, and the platform will push the alarm to the security duty screen or mobile phone, forming a complete closed loop from physical interception to system warning.
Multi plant unified management: For group enterprises with multiple plant areas, HFIMS supports centralized monitoring of access control status and attendance data of each branch by the headquarters, achieving cross plant unified management.
As a software and hardware integration solution provider, HFSecurity ensures seamless collaboration between attendance terminals, gate hardware, and management platforms. After employees complete facial or card recognition in front of the gate, the attendance terminal will activate the gate in real-time and synchronously upload the access records to the HFIMS platform for attendance registration, achieving integrated linkage between access authorization and work hour records. Completely eliminated the management blind spots of "forgetting to swipe the card after clocking in" or "not clocking in after clocking in". Biometric recognition technology eliminates the need for clocking in and card fraud from the source, while the physical structure of different turnstiles effectively prevents tailgating and overtaking. The combination of the two significantly improves the security level of entrances and exits. The automated processing of attendance reports compresses HR's monthly statistical work from several days to a few minutes and eliminates manual input errors; Regional permission logs can be traced, providing reliable basis for security audits.
Based on over 20 years of experience in manufacturing biometric devices, HFSecurity provides factory customers with in-depth customization services from appearance to functionality
Hardware appearance customization: The color, size specifications, brand logo silk screen printing, and reading head position of the gate body can be adjusted as needed.
Software and function customization: including the configuration of the attendance terminal's boot interface, system language, menu structure, functional permissions, and business processes; At the same time, free SDK and complete API documentation are provided. Customers can independently integrate the access control and attendance system into their own MES, ERP, salary or security platforms according to their own needs, achieving personnel information synchronization, automatic push of attendance data, and unified management of permissions.
Main channel for electronic contract factory employees: Deploy 10 channels of three roller gates with facial recognition terminals, reducing the morning rush hour travel time from 15 minutes to 5 minutes, and eliminating the phenomenon of proxy check-in.
Automotive parts companies: use wing gates to separate production areas from storage areas, and integrate access control data into HR systems, reducing monthly work hour statistics errors to less than 0.1%.
Food processing plant: The swing gate channel realizes the separation of people and vehicles, and uses a QR code visitor system, with complete and traceable records of external personnel entering and leaving.
Chemical enterprise hazardous goods warehouse: Deploy full height gates in conjunction with palm vein identification. Only employees with special authorization can enter, and detailed logs are kept for each entry and exit.
