Kairos Uses Facial Recognition to Make a Better Employee Timeclock
Kairos is a cool product in technology that utilizes biometrics to form the base for a timeclock system at a place of work. Kairos runs on a smartphone or tablet and checks employees in and out of their shifts through facial recognition technology. When an employer uses Kairos, all an employee supposedly has to do to punch in for their shift is look at the smartphone or tablet camera. Kairos will automatically recognize the employee as legitimate and record their punch-in time. If this cool product works as advertised it could be seriously advantageous for small businesses. It doesn’t require any extra equipment beyond a working tablet or smartphone that a company might be able to repurpose. It can also effectively prevent any type of timecard fraud. If employees must have their faces recognized by the camera in order to punch in or out of their shift, then it would be impossible for someone to punch in someone who wasn’t on time or absent. In theory, this would increase the accuracy of timecards and avoid any potential abuse of the system. Employers who want to take advantage of Kairos but have no experience with smartphones or tablets can seek help from business computer services. Read more »
