The employee master is already uploaded into the application with their photos/images.
You can use a Smart Phone/Tablet at the entry gate to take a photo of the employee during entry at the gate. Once the photo is clicked, the application will recognize the employee's face and will update the status of the relevant employee's record. Based on the successful recognition, you can configure your workflow to mark attendance, record his Time-In, alert if needed to Department Head, etc. using Zoho Deluge scripts. Likewise, when the employee leaves the factory a photo can be taken. This can even be made self-service just by hanging the Tab at exist gate or with a concierge/security desk. Upon taking the snap, the application recognizes the face of your employee/visitor and updates the employee data/visitor register.
