About time

DataTrack, the modular business administration and production management system for all types of batch manufacturing and subcontract engineering companies, features a number of modules that can be added as companies expand their businesses.

The latest addition is an integrated time and attendance module which is a logical extension to DataTrack's well-proven shopfloor data collection module. It offers extra analysis and records, contributing to overall improvements and efficiency in manufacturing environments.

The integrated time and attendance module offers three possibilities for data collection: time and attendance only with employee records available for analysis or export; time and attendance together with shopfloor data collection analysing setting and production times independently by clocking on and off jobs and machines and; standard ‘post-event' logging of shopfloor data collection with independent analysis on recorded times for setting and production.

Employee time and attendance is a vital element of cost control and productivity levels so the addition of the time and attendance function will give management reliable statistical data. Analysis options include personnel on-site by ‘clocking-on and clocking-off', recording holiday leave and waiting time or non-productive times for any reason.
Data input can be provided using keyboard and mouse, barcode reader or touchscreen or a combination of all, depending on equipment available or desirable.

A supervisor module is also available for editing and correction of input and it contains a full reporting system. The time and attendance module can also be integrated with the DataTrack Status Board display system to provide real time displays of attendance, progress and action.

The new module is available for all DataTrack edition packages – Evolution, Precision, Contract and Ultimate. Overall, it provides security and control over employee attendance and shopfloor progress whilst also minimising the administration costs and time traditionally associated with manual recording and control over employees' activities on the shopfloor.
