PR Newswire (US)
ISMANING, Germany, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SCM
Microsystems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SCMMNASDAQ:PrimeNASDAQ:Standard:NASDAQ:SMY), a leading
provider of solutions that open the Digital World, now offers a
contactless version of its popular CHIPDRIVE(R) time recording
solution for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). CHIPDRIVE
Time Recording Touch & Go allows employees to clock-in,
clock-out and record time spent on specific projects with a mere
touch of the CHIPDRIVE user chip token to the time recording
terminal -- eliminating the need to carry and swipe time cards. The
small user chip tokens can also be used as key fobs, making them
easy to carry. Data from the user chip tokens is transferred to the
network-connected Touch & Go terminal (CD0920 DI) via
contactless MIFARE(R) technology, which offers high quality and
fast data transfer. The terminal transfers all employee time data
directly to the server. The entire operation takes just
milliseconds. The CHIPDRIVE Time Recording Touch & Go terminal
incorporates a dual interface that accommodates both use chip
tokens and smart cards. The new system therefore can be used on its
own to create a completely contactless environment or in
combination with another CHIPDRIVE networked or mobile time
recording solution that utilizes smart cards. The contactless
interface of the CHIPDRIVE Time Recording Touch & Go terminal
eliminates issues from dirt or environmental factors and makes the
system especially suited for garages, factories and other work
settings with dust, oil or high humidity. A clean and contemporary
design also makes the Touch & Go terminal an excellent fit
within office or agency environments. As with all CHIPDRIVE Time
Recording systems, Touch & Go enables SMEs to record and review
the current working hours of their employees. Data such as project
times, holidays, work absences and exceptions can be quickly and
easily analyzed and is available right when needed. Work projects
can be defined and recorded, allowing additional differentiation
and evaluation of project working times. The new Touch & Go
dual-interface terminal includes a simple and intuitive menu and a
graphical display that shows the date and time, current clocking
data as well as the time balance of the employee. Individual
project numbers can be set using the key pad. New features in Touch
& Go also make it possible to display actual and planned
vacation days directly on the terminal at log in. CHIPDRIVE Time
Recording Touch & Go contains everything required to
immediately begin recording working times for up to 25 employees --
a stationary wall mount terminal (CDO920 DI) to clock employees in
and out; a dual interface smart card reader to define projects,
time parameters and personal data for each user chip token;
CHIPDRIVE Time Recording Software; and user chip tokens. As all
components can be purchased individually and no additional
licensing costs are incurred, CHIPDRIVE Time Recording Touch &
Go can be customized to address the requirements of specific
environments. The system also can be extended for up to several
hundred employees. Originally sold only in Germany, CHIPDRIVE Time
Recording Touch & Go is now also available in the United
States, France, Spain and the UK in the respective languages. More
