Case Study: Dental Council of India streamlines faculty attendance with HID Global biometric smart cards

Hid Global Helps Streamline Time and Attendance Process

The Dental Council of India, a national regulator for dental education, faced significant challenges with a manual attendance system that was prone to malpractice like "buddy punching" and human error. HID Global, working with a partner, implemented a biometric smart card solution to create a centralized and secure identification system for authenticating faculty and recording attendance.

HID Global's solution utilized SmartID SB10 biometric readers and EDGEPlus E400 controllers to verify identities and transmit real-time data to a central server. The results included the eradication of attendance fraud, a 50% reduction in operational costs from eliminating manual processes, and a centralized view of faculty across nearly 300 colleges. The system also provided a platform for future applications like library access.
