In a metallurgical plant or production unit, the time tracking system must withstand what the environment demands: oil, metal shavings, gloves, heat, noise and unreliable Wi-Fi. The RFID card with offline recording is, in practice, the option that best withstands all of this.

The environment decides the technology

On the factory floor, methods that work in an office fail. Fingerprint readers cannot read oily or gloved fingers. Smartphone apps do not work for people with occupied hands on the production line. The RFID card wins: bring it close to the reader, even with gloves, and you are registered.

Why offline recording is non-negotiable

Industrial buildings are the worst scenario for Wi-Fi: metal structures, interference from machines, large distances. If the reader only works with a connection, a single outage means losing an entire shift of records. A reader with its own memory records at the moment and syncs when the network returns.

Shifts and production

• Two or three shifts: the system calculates each balance without manual work.
• Overtime and night work: counted automatically with correct surcharges.
• Compliance: records kept for 5 years and exportable for accounting.
