For years, some businesses have relied on biometric time clocks that require employees to punch in and out by using their fingerprint or palm but the days of pressing a hand or finger to a scanner seem to be over. Ascentis CarePoint’s Ascentis NT8000 time clock is one of the alternative solutions that's emerging, boasting a touch-free design that also promises to accurately capture a contact-free temperature reading.
To support safety in the workplace, the first-to-market time clock technology system also includes voice-command actions to address the way businesses will now be operating after the peak of COVID-19. As Ascentis CEO Brian Provost says, "No matter how thoroughly the new policies, sanitation practices and social distancing measures are executed to ensure a safe environment, one sick employee could compromise this for all."
