Featuring advanced technology, biometric security systems have pervaded every facet of society by influencing organizations, businesses, and government services. In addition to offering supreme security, these systems ensure precise human identification for ease of management.

Moreover, hotels are now using biometrics for financial security, inventory protection, staff management, and safeguarding personal information.     

How Biometrics Work

Biometrics are categorized into two types – physical biometrics and behavioral biometrics. Physical biometrics include facial recognition, fingerprint mapping, nuanced voice authentication, and retina or iris scanning.

On the other hand, behavioral biometrics use multi-dimensional intelligence, featuring machine learning to draw results. These results are based on a combination of human-device interactions, IP address, location, muscle memory, and behavioral habits.  

Biometrics on Mobile Devices

Mobile biometric security systems are scoring high among commonly used authentication methods. Both of the above-mentioned methods can be implemented using mobile devices, through sensors and apps that can track behaviors such as:

• The angle at which the user is holding the phone
• Walking speed
• Finger pressure used to type on the device

Some unique developments in mobile biometrics include authentication based on brain wave analysis and lip motion to determine the user’s mental state.

Hotel Staff Time Management

Administering hotel security prevents guests from entering restricted areas, allows staff access to the premises, and secures sensitive data. For example, a time attendance machine used for hotel management helps store information on the entry and exit times of the employees.

Moreover, managers can now easily track employee time, and monitor their position changes using biometrics. This helps ensure accurate time attendance, improve staff efficiency, and bring payroll transparency. Managers will be notified if there are any discrepancies in staff attendance.

Reporting Options

The biometric security system features accurate labor reporting and is equipped with better options for tracking compliance with government regulations. The software has the best timekeeping reports, suitable for future reference. A biometric attendance system is also an effective option to reduce the risk of time theft. Fingerprint or facial impression is commonly used for marking attendance.
