Smart Cards and Key Fobs

Time and Attendance UK can provide you with a complete smart card time and attendance clocking system. Biometrics can also be included within the package to enable highly secure, two-factor authorisation.

Contactless smart cards or key fobs are used to operate your time and attendance system. They use well-proven and reliable RF (Radio Frequency) reading technology, which gives a consistent read range and is unaffected by most external conditions.

Smart Cards

Our most popular smart card is the T1305, which is approximately the size of a standard credit card and is thin and flexible enough to be carried in your wallet.

Available in blue or white, all cards from Time and Attendance UK have a durable wipe clean plastic shell.

Key Fobs

Our key fobs are about the same size as a standard key fob, and have their own printed external number for cross-referencing. Since the tags are smaller, they have a correspondingly smaller read range than a smart card, but can still be scanned in under 1/4 second.

Our smart card technology enables your card or key fob to be read through any non-metallic items, so there is no need to remove it from your wallet or purse.

As there is no physical contact between the smart card or key fob and the reader, neither will become worn-out by continuous use - unlike swipe readers. This also gives the advantage that dust and residue picked up from the working environment presents no risk of clogging the reader.

Time and Attendance UK smart cards and key fobs have no onboard battery that can fail so theoretically, has an infinite life, and can be read an infinite number of times.

Inconsistent Working Time Laws
New EU legislation aimed at harmonising working time and ensuring minimum rest periods for truck drivers has met with fierce criticism from both trade unions and employers in the road transport sector who say they can lead to 'different interpretations' and 'unintentional infringements'.
