An attendance machine is an electronic device used to record employee attendance. It can automatically record the commuting time, tardiness, early departure, and leave of employees, helping companies better manage their attendance. At the same time, attendance machines can also be combined with enterprise management systems to provide more comprehensive employee management functions.

Simple and intuitive, without the need for computer knowledge, the price is relatively low. Disadvantages: cumbersome statistics, monthly replacement of cards, high mechanical failure rate (card sockets are easily damaged). Applicable scope: Units with less than 100 people and good environment. Magnetic card attendance machines can use computers to collect attendance data. Disadvantage: Magnetic cards and heads are vulnerable (perhaps there are more reliable magnetic card devices). Scope of application: Places with good hygiene environment and high personnel quality (mostly used for access control, banks, etc.).
