Time Attendance Systems - IT and Communication Equipment

Marine time attendance systems record crew and staff working hours using biometric, RFID, PIN, or facial-recognition terminals. They support onboard attendance, access control, shift management, and synchronization with vessel or shore-based IT systems.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Time Attendance Systems for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Biometric data interoperability may use ISO/IEC 19794. Network security and personal-data handling should follow the vessel operator's cybersecurity and privacy procedures. IEC 60945 applies only where the specific equipment is designed, tested, and approved as marine navigation or radiocommunication equipment.
Class Approval	Generic commercial time-attendance terminals are not normally class-approved. Any required DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, or ClassNK acceptance depends on the vessel application, installation location, environmental requirements, and the specific certified equipment package.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Install the terminal at a protected, accessible location with suitable power, network connectivity, and environmental conditions. Configure vessel time zone, user permissions, shift rules, data backup, and synchronization with the attendance server. Use approved marine cabling and cable glands where required.
Maintenance Tips	Clean the fingerprint sensor, camera, display, and card reader regularly using manufacturer-approved materials. Check power, network connection, time synchronization, storage capacity, firmware, backups, and attendance-log transfer. Review enrolled users and remove expired crew records.
Safety Notes	Isolate electrical power before wiring or servicing. Follow manufacturer voltage and grounding requirements and avoid installation in areas exceeding the unit's environmental rating. Protect biometric and personal data, restrict administrator access, and provide an alternative identification method when biometric recognition is unavailable.
