Right Device Recommendation for Your Setup

Choosing an attendance device is not about picking the highest specification model. It’s about selecting the right device type and integration approach based on your workforce size, punch traffic, site conditions, and payroll rules.

Semmon provides device consultation as a structured service—so you deploy the correct combination (face/fingerprint/card or mixed) from day one, with stable integration and clean HR/payroll output.

Most attendance problems happen after installation:

Wrong device chosen for the environment (dust, lighting, high traffic)
Punch capacity mismatch during shift change (queues, missed punches)
Connectivity issues (Wi‑Fi instability, no LAN planning, power backup gaps)
Attendance rules not aligned (shifts, grace, OT, weekly offs)
Logs collected, but payroll still requires Excel reconciliation
Our consultation prevents these issues by designing the complete attendance workflow, not just selecting hardware.

What We Assess

We evaluate your setup across five areas:

Workforce & Attendance Structure

Employee count per location
Visitor/contract labour requirements (if applicable)
Single or multi-location attendance

Punch Traffic & Entry Behaviour

Peak punch timings (shift start/end)
Number of gates/entry points
Queue sensitivity and speed requirement

Site Conditions

Indoor vs industrial environment
Dust, heat, lighting, humidity
Mounting position and user flow

Connectivity & Power Readiness

LAN/Wi‑Fi/4G feasibility
Network stability and fallback plan
Power backup requirements

Payroll & Compliance Rules

Shifts, grace time, OT, late/early policies
Weekly offs/holidays and cut-off cycles
Audit traceability requirements

After consultation, you get a clear deployment plan:

Recommended device type: Face / Fingerprint / Mixed
Model recommendation per site (e.g., office vs factory gate)
Quantity and placement guidance (main gate, department entry, floor-wise)
Connectivity method and integration approach
Rollout plan: pilot → validation → full deployment
Integration scope: Semmon HRMS native or third‑party export/API
This ensures your system works end-to-end—from punch to payroll.

Office + factory combination with different device needs
Multi-location attendance requiring centralised reporting
High-traffic gate where speed matters
Environments where fingerprint is unreliable (dust/usage pattern)
Companies moving from standalone devices to HRMS + payroll integration

If your goal is to remove monthly manual corrections and vendor blame cycles, we recommend deploying devices with Semmon HRMS & Payroll for the most seamless experience.

If you already use a third-party HRMS/ERP, we can still integrate through a scoped export/API approach.

We’ll recommend the right device and integration plan based on your real operating needs—not just brochure specs.
