AI Face Check-In: Attendance That Records Itself
Fobs get forgotten. Cards get lost. PIN codes get shared between colleagues. And manual records in Excel — let’s not even go there. AI face recognition solves all of these problems at once.
How the System Works
Hardware at the Entrance
A tablet or camera (iPad on a stand or an industrial camera) is installed at the entrance or workshop. The device connects to Modulario over WiFi.
Enrollment (One-Time Registration)
The employee takes a few photos during initial setup — 3–5 shots from different angles and in different lighting. AI creates a biometric hash (a mathematical pattern, not a photograph). Takes 2 minutes.
Daily Check-In
07:43 — Michael Kovac walks through the entrance
→ Camera scans face (0.8 seconds)
→ Match: 98.4% (threshold: 92%)
→ Attendance logged: arrival 07:43
16:18 — Michael Kovac walks through the exit
→ Attendance logged: departure 16:18
→ Today's hours: 8h 35 min (including 30 min lunch break)Automatic Payroll Calculation
Logged attendance feeds directly into the payroll module. Overtime is automatically identified and allowances are calculated in line with applicable legislation.
Security and Privacy
- No photographs — only a mathematical hash is stored (656 numbers)
- Local processing — recognition happens on the device, not in the cloud
- Right to erasure — employees can request deletion of their biometric data (GDPR Art. 17)
- Audit trail — every check-in is recorded with a timestamp
