How does the RFID access control and attendance system work?

Employees carry HF or UHF RFID cards or wristbands encoded with their ID and access permissions. Readers at doors, gates and turnstiles grant entry in well under half a second, and the first tap in and last tap out are logged automatically as attendance that syncs to your HR system.

What RFID hardware do I need for access control and attendance?

You need RFID smart cards or silicone wristbands, wall-mounted HF readers for doors, and UHF long-range or gate readers for large gates and turnstiles, plus a desktop reader to encode and issue cards. Identium sources this enterprise-grade hardware from its sister store IndiaRFIDStore.com.

Is Identium's RFID access control and attendance system available across India?

Yes. Identium is based in New Delhi and serves enterprises across India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. The team handles wiring, card issuance and HR integration.

Can it integrate with our HR and payroll software?

Yes. Attendance data is auto-pushed to HR platforms including Darwinbox, SAP SuccessFactors, Keka and Zoho People, so timesheets, shift and overtime data flow into your HR and payroll workflow without manual entry.

Can RFID attendance replace biometric fingerprint systems?

For most doors, yes — RFID replaces the fingerprint scanner as the throughput layer: a hygienic tap in well under half a second, no pads to clean, gloves and wet hands no problem. For payroll-critical or high-security points, pair the tap with 1:1 verification so the punch proves the person, not just the card.

How is the RFID access control system deployed and priced?

Identium recommends piloting one building first, with the team handling wiring, cards and HR integration before you scale. Pricing depends on the number of doors, readers and cards, so request a quote for a tailored proposal.
