AMGtime unveils biometric self-service kiosk for labor management

May 2, 2019

The Elionic kiosk from AMGtime offers a biometric fingerprint kiosk that allows employees to clock in and out, approve their time cards directly on the device, view schedules, view benefits, submit time-off requests, transfer between jobs and more, according to a press release. Most features are activated from the software and can be activated or disabled depending on each company's needs.

The second-generation Elionic includes features focused on compliance and ease of use. Employers can use the Elionic to collect transaction data with the bonus of reporting on failed transactions or transactions made outside restricted time periods. Users can set it so that the Elionic automatically generates transaction "lockout" periods depending on either each individual employee's work schedule or restricted time zones assigned to an employee.

The Elionic also includes off-schedule meal reporting, which requires employees to explicitly state on the device if lunches/breaks taken outside the normal schedule was a personal decision or mandated by the company. Similarly aiding in lunch compliance rules, the Elionic can prevent employees from taking lunches shorter than mandated by not allowing clock-in before the allotted time. Due to the device's real-time synchronization capabilities, transactions can be made on any Elionic within a company's possession, eliminating the need for an employee to transact from only one device.

Another new feature is the option to have employees alerted to pending time cards for approval or denial after transacting on the Elionic, with the option to add comments. 

Employees can transact using fingerprint, proximity card, and/or pin/password. Employers can set the option for the Elionic to take a photo of the employee as she/he clocks in and out on the device. The Elionic also can trigger a bell system and provide door access control.
