Port Logistics Attendance System

The Challenge

One of the largest shipping port operators in North America was struggling with their employee attendance tracking system. With over 5,000 employees across multiple shifts and entry points, their traditional badge-scanning system was causing significant bottlenecks, security issues, and payroll discrepancies. They needed a solution that could:

• Process thousands of employees during shift changes without delays
• Eliminate buddy punching and time theft
• Function in challenging outdoor environments with varying lighting conditions
• Integrate with their existing workforce management and payroll systems
• Maintain privacy compliance while ensuring security
• Operate reliably in a mission-critical environment

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive video-based facial recognition attendance system using our raccha framework that could process thousands of employees simultaneously. The solution included:

• Edge computing devices with high-resolution cameras at all entry points
• Advanced facial recognition algorithms optimized for outdoor environments
• Real-time processing with sub-second recognition times
• Secure, encrypted employee biometric database
• Integration with their Workday HR and payroll systems
• Mobile app for supervisors to view real-time attendance data
• Comprehensive audit logging and reporting
• Fallback mechanisms for exception handling

The Results

After implementing our video-based facial recognition attendance system, the port operator experienced:

• 99.7% recognition accuracy across all lighting conditions and environments
• 84% reduction in time spent during shift changes and check-ins
• 5,000+ employees processed daily with no system bottlenecks
• 100% elimination of buddy punching and time theft
• 68% reduction in payroll discrepancies and disputes
• $4.2 million in annual savings from improved operational efficiency
