Timenex Time Attendance System

display more information vividly, including fingerprint image quality and verification result etc. GPRS communication is standard and makes sure the data transmission between terminal and Server can be easily done within few seconds. This system is on Three Tier Model which includes Remote Machines, Application Server and Database Server. Virtual Private Network makes it easy to secure all the transmission on the internet. This system is an integrated solution that consists of hardware and software designed to control and manages staff and students attendance at the educational institutions the system is designed to increase security by defining access permissions based on area and time for each user and maintaining a log of all events. This Biometric Fingerprint Time & Attendance System utilizes the most advance technologies and mechanisms available in the market. The system offers unparalleled performance using an advanced algorithm for reliability; precision and excellent fingerprint matching speed. High levels of teachers’ absenteeism negatively impacts student achievement, school reputation, contribute to the decline of the profession and incite student absenteeism. In environments with weak institutional capacity and accountability, the head teachers who keep such records may know that there will be few spot checks of their accuracy, and that even if inspectors were to find discrepancies, there would likely be no consequences. Administrative records may be poor even if head teachers are not trying to cover for them selves and/or their subordinates: when accountability mechanisms are weak, keeping such records is not likely to be a priority. employees /students absenteeism has been identified as a major problem in all public schools. When teachers show up in the classroom and stay for the specified time, this can a huge difference in student learning and achievement. As learning levels improve as a result of dedicated teaching, more students are likely to continue with their schooling. To address the problem of teacher absenteeism, technology based proper attendance monitoring system is necessary. This GPRS based biometric fingerprint attendance system stores fingerprint data, employee details. User time-in, time-out and attendance logs are stored in server. Administrators can interact with data being sent using this device from a central server. Biometric devices and Reporting Application users of the system communicate to the server with the help of secure VPN tunnel. Only authenticated users are able to connect with the biometric system reporting Application. Fingerprint registration and verification is performed on the device whereas fingerprint authentication is performed both on the device and remote server. Hence PCs or other equipment is not required during the functioning of the system even in the remote areas. The system also has the additional feature to include GPS, which helps to pin-point the exact location of the device and the transaction. In case of device stolen, the GPS can point the location of the device. Thus the system offers enterprise level of Entry and Time Attendance management with its GPRS communication-based infrastructure enabling integrated monitoring and systematic management through multiple terminals operated independently on remote locations. VPN allow users to securely access the Biometric Attendance System. Project Objective and Outputs

Increase Punctuality ratio, Accuracy and efficiency by switching attendance from
paper based to Biometric/GPRS attendance system
It will increase punctuality ratio, accuracy and ease in department/school attendance management. Here, it can get not only electronic attendance system but also an online attendance system. Tracking attendance, managing holidays, overtime, duty roster, etc
In general, the system provides you the report of the teachers /employee worked hours and helps you in payroll management. You can track the absenteeism and late comers as well. Time attendance system is not only for simply recording the teachers/employee/students time and calculating the hours worked by teachers/employee/students in a week or a month. It is more about making the employees responsible in their job by bringing punctuality and consistency in time management. This attendance system is designed in such a way that all teachers/employee/students can view their attendance records. They can view how punctual they are to their job, how many hours they are working every day, when are the upcoming holidays. This kind of interaction with the system helps a lot for employee time management. Involve parents in their children education /studies

Through this attendance system the parent will be receiving two SMS daily on their mobile phones regarding their children entering/exiting timings of school which will also increase the punctuality of the children’s and will provide them more control on their children’s with security. Also through this system a school management will be able to send students results or any other notifications to parents directly on their mobile phones. Apply Leave, Approve leave, Manage Leave through SMS
The attendance system along with the leave management system gives detailed information about the teachers/employee/students on attendance, leave. This will help to manage to plan/approve the employee leave through SMS as well
Coordination Mechanisms
Before launching the project in the preparatory meetings with all the heads of the institutions will be done for briefing and presentation. Presentation & briefing will be arranged by the Stepnex Services in the office of District Education Officer. Schools related correspondence will be taken up with the District Education Office & concerned school while device related issues will be deal by the Stepnex Services. Monitoring and reporting
As the implementation of the Project is the responsibility of Stepnex Services, the Project Monitoring & reporting will be carried out jointly by DEO &Stepnex Services and the Reading Project. A resource person of the Stepnex Services will look after all the issues. Report will be submitted to authority concerned on request and a short code will also be communicated to all the heads of the institutions.
