The Schlage HandPunch 3000 is a biometric time/handpunch machine designed for time and attendance software. With a HandPunch, users do not need cards to create or administer, and their credentials cannot get lost, stolen, or duplicated without authorization. Identifying users by hand geometry, the HandPunch eliminates costly “buddy punching.” Every time an employee places their hand into the HandPunch 3000 terminal, the camera takes a 3-dimensional scan of the length, width, and height, then turns the image into an algorithm and saves it for future verification.
