Lathem, an Atlanta, Georgia-based developer of biometric solutions, has released a new biometric time and attendance tracker that utilizes face recognition as a way for employees to authenticate their identity when clocking in or out for work, according to a Miami Herald article.

The solution, called FaceIN, can make a punch to an employee’s time card within two seconds of standing in front of the camera from up to three feet away.

While biometric time clocks are not a new concept, most in use operate on fingerprint biometrics. FaceIN is touting the system’s higher reliability and accuracy than fingerprint-based systems as well as the system being more hygienic due to it not requiring any physical contact to complete clocking procedures as selling points.
