Attendance is essential in any field, be it in school, universities, or workplaces, a perfect attendance record can elevate the overall statue of an individual. As for the workplaces like companies or corporate fields, a precise attendance of an employee can increase the production, which will result in a flourishing business.


A time punching machine gives accurate data of entry, exit, and work timings of the employees. The machine keeps tracks of entrees and exits of all employees, and the work timing is calculated accordingly, a well-prepared data is achieved from all these procedures. This data then helps owners or managers to make the payments.

You may be eager to know what this system is, and how is this system is useful to keep the attendance record. Read on below to know.


A time punching machine is an electronic and technical way to keep a track on coming in and going out timings of employees or sometimes students too. There are many types of time punching machines one can choose according to their needs.


Be it in the business world or universities, time theft is a major issue, which many times cannot be even spotted on. The owners, managers, principals, or teachers cannot be present every time everywhere. The time theft, dummy attendance can hinder the growth of the business as well as the academic career of the student.


The time punching machine is the device which can help out all with these sorts of problems. The main working of the machine mainly by three things which are stated below:

  • Physical appearance: These types of time punching machines are also called as biometric systems. In this type of systems, physical things like fingerprints, face, eyes, or any such body parts are scanned. This type of biometric system is used for attendance as well as for the security of vaults and lockers too. When a fingerprint is scanned, this is recorded by the scanner, and the information is recorded in the data. No one who has not entered the premises can use the fingerprint scanner without physically scan the fingerprint.  This system can collect the perfect data of the attendance as well as work timings. This particular system is beneficial for timings as well as for security.

  • Punching cards: The time punching machine has one more type which can be operated by punching cards. The cards are provided by the company to the employees. These cards contain basic information like the name of the employee, the name of the company, etc. When the card is punched, the employee detail is collected by the machine. Which can be then obtained either manually or by computer data?  The punching cards type system is quite old, traditional, and durable too. In order to punch the card, the employee has to enter the commercial premises and push the card in the machine. Some machines make sound or some of them blink light to indicate that the card has been punched and information has been collected.

The same process is repeated while going on break or while exiting the premises.

  • Swipe cards: This is a bit advanced, developed, and an innovative type of machine on which cards can be swiped. A card containing a metal bar or chip is used to swipe as easily as one can swipe a credit or a debit card or an ATM card. The chip or bar on the card contains the information about that specific employee. The name or employee number or some employee code etc., when the card is swiped all the information is stored in the device.

All these types of machines are used for attendance purpose. Any type of machine one chooses the precise data of attendance can easily be available.
