Food processor enables touch-free contactless employee time and attendance for worker safety due to COVID-19.

Ocean Beauty Seafoods in Seattle, Wash., is a 110-year-old seafood processor and distributor, and one of the largest primary processors of wild Alaskan salmon. With its seven processing plants, they offer a variety of fresh and seafood products for their customers.

 

Solution Profile:

  • Lathem Products: 

    40 - FaceIN face recognition employee time clocks. PayClock employee time & attendance software

  • Employees:

    1,500

  • Locations: 

    5 processing plant locations

 

Challenges

Ocean Beauty Seafoods did not have a reliable way to track employees working at its five seafood processing plants in Alaska since those employees did not work set shifts. The company had a challenge with buddy punching for approximately 1,000-1,500 workers – 200-300 at each plant - and needed a way to see who was clocking in and out. They also needed a touch-free, contactless solution for worker safety, especially due to COVID-19.

 

 

The Solution Benefits of PayClock Online

The company purchased 40 FaceIN face recognition clocks across each of its five locations, which they placed six feet apart for social distancing. FaceIN time clocks replace conventional fingerprint, iris scan and head readers to eliminate buddy punching and provide a more hygienic and reliable solution that other biometric time clocks. FaceIN verifies an employee’s face in seconds, eliminating the need for time cards, badges, keys or pin numbers, providing a contactless employee time and attendance solution.
