time attendance system

Time-Attendance defines productivity of any organization and Access Control defines security of valuable assets. These two areas are inherently human-oriented, complex and challenging to automate.

Productivity of any organization depends on its effectiveness in putting the right people in the right place at the right time. No two organizations have identical attendance and leave policies. Same organization may follow different timings and holidays for its different facilities like head office, factory and branch offices. Various departments like manufacturing, R&D and marketing within an office differ in their timings, grace period and overtime calculations. Further, people working at different levels in the same department need different time attendance and access control flexibility.

Security depends on having right answers to Who, What, Where and When. Defining, controlling and monitoring entries and exits at each site, zone, floor, area and office is necessary for effective security.

It is a herculean task to identify a Time-Attendance and Access Control solution that meets the organization’s exact needs and integrates seamlessly with its existing IT/ERP infrastructure.

Presenting Matrix COSEC – an adaptive, modular, scalable and function-rich Time-Attendance and Access Control system designed for Small Office Home Office (SOHO), Small and Medium Businesses (SMB), Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and large Enterprises (LE).

Matrix COSEC provides a comprehensive and end-to-end Time-Attendance and Access Control Solution. Matrix product range includes different products such as Door Controllers, Exit Readers, Site Controllers, Enrollment Stations and Application Servers.

COSEC is built on layered, distributed processing architecture with intelligent components at each level. At the top is the enterprise-grade, web-enabled application server which controls and manages the entire system through COSEC Panels or direct Door Controllers.

COSEC Panels manage multiple Door Controllers and acts as a local bridge between the Door Controllers and the application server. It is responsible for synchronizing all the Door Controllers, implementing advanced access control features and storing events. The interface could be Ethernet, WiFi, 3G and/or RS485.

Door Controllers and their Readers are the front-end terminals guarding and monitoring the entry and exit points. Readers can read contactless proximity cards, smart cards and fingerprints for identification. Door Controller can monitor and control additional readers, doors and auxiliary input and output ports. COSEC with new architecture assists user to connect geographically distributed sites in a simple way. Without Static IP user can connect up to 1,000 sites and 10,000 DOORs irrespective of distance limitation.

Matrix COSEC architecture is modular in nature allowing customers to pick and choose modules relevant to their business. Modules such as Time-Attendance, Access Control, Visitor Management, Employee Self Service and Roster Management can be added later without any disruption to an existing deployment.

Matrix COSEC architecture is truly scalable, allowing a customer to start with smaller configuration and expand step-by-step as the organization grows. PANEL can control from 1 to 75 Door Controllers. An enterprise can deploy up to 1,000 such PANELs and 10,000 Door Controllers, managing up to 1Million users distributed over the entire globe.

Matrix COSEC is designed to deliver high level of flexibility at various levels. Interfaces (WiFi, 3G, Ethernet and RS485), Door Controller connectivity with application server (direct or through PANELs), readers (Card, Finger and PIN in any combination), pluggable card personality modules and sensors (Optical and Capacitive) are few examples of flexibility.

Further, the same Controller can be configured for either entry or exit with up to 10 fingers per users. Attendance, Leave and Access Control policies are flexible enough to satisfy the most demanding real-world enterprise needs.

An Ethernet or WiFi/3G based Master-Slave architecture simplifies cabling and installation. Discrepancies of time between multiple Door Controllers running independently are eliminated by synchronizing all the Door Controllers with the central server. Door Controller with built-in touchsense keypad and dot matrix display with backlit makes it easy to operate from Door Controller itself. Moreover administrator can download events or upgrade firmware through USB drive or LAN.

COSEC is designed for long term uninterrupted performance. It is designed to work in variant temperature, dust full environment (Touchsense Keypad) and excessive humid conditions. Further, its wired or wireless architecture, battery back-up, SMPS based power supply and battery and mains fail alarm contributes to the reliable performance of the system.

Matrix COSEC Time Attendance software facilitate employee-wise shift planning, past adjustments of salaries and an automatic generation of work schedules. Personalized user portal helps employee to get attendance summary, view leave record and apply for leave electronically. With such intelligent, utilitarian and advanced features, COSEC serves to boost productivity of both- an employee and the organization.

Matrix COSEC is integrated system allowing integration with fire alarm system, video surveillance system, exit readers, sensors and relay devices without any need of external module. Application software can be also integrated with third party payroll, HRM, Tally and ERP software easily.

Matrix COSEC is built on modern technology platform. On hardware side it employs powerful 32 bit arm processor and high speed digital signal processing (DSP). COSEC application server is built on Windows platform, with advanced RDBMS (MS SQL, Oracle) and Microsoft .NET technology.

All in all, Matrix COSEC is an ideal Time Attendance and Access Control solution for Private and Government Offices, Banking, Finance, Insurance, Education, Services, IT, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, Retail, many others industries as well as Ports, Airports and other Transport agencies.
