Project: Employee Punch Tracking

Created: 2026-02-24 Source: #work-assistant Status: Beta Production Phase


Overview

Track employee timeclock punches via RFID cards and capture images via IP camera for verification.

Purpose

  • Track employee punch in/out via RFID card
  • Capture image via IP camera when card is scanned
  • Match captured image with employee database record
  • Integrate with external timeclock software

How It Works

  1. Employee scans RFID card at timeclock
  2. System triggers IP camera capture
  3. Image is matched against MSSQL database record
  4. Time punch is logged in external vendor time software

Architecture

  • IP camera for image capture
  • RFID card reader
  • MSSQL database for employee photos/records
  • External timeclock software (vendor provided)
  • Custom software runs "on top" of vendor system

Current Status

🚀 Beta Production

  • Software functioning well in production
  • Active monitoring ongoing

Known Issues

Latency Problem: Delay between RFID scan and image capture

  • Currently researching alternative solutions
  • Goal: Reduce/remove latency gap

Tasks

  • Research alternative latency solutions
  • Implement latency improvement
  • Continue production monitoring

Notes

(Add camera specs, RFID reader model, MSSQL schema, vendor software details, etc.)
