Datalogic [india] has teamed up with zenith controls & systems to develop a hardware for a barcoded time and attendance recording system. The compubadge reader of zenith controls has been set with the datalogic slot reader sr11. As the rugged slot reader can read all barcode symbologies at high speed, the compuattende system is available in a neat package along with battery backup for 12/24 hours and a local buffer of 2,048 employees. Siren interface, standalone vs multidrop system, time and employee code masking are available as an option. The payroll package comes as a standard foxpro based software, but in case of an existing software, interfacing can be completed easily. Development of customised software is also undertaken.
