Iris ID revealed that its iCAM 7000 solution has been selected to manage employee time and attendance for Tongrentang, a leading manufacturer of traditional Chinese medicine.

The iris-based biometric identification solution will be phased in over the next few years and is expected to be used by approximately 20,000 employees. The system will also be used for identity authentication at Tongretang’s data center. Shanghai-based Inno Technologies will integrate the time and attendance solution.

Time and attendance reports are delivered in real-time using a VPN to link locations with corporate headquarters.

According to Mohammed Murad, vice president of global sales and business development for Iris ID, after the Tongretang employees have been enrolled in the iCAM system, they will be able to check in or out of work in about a second.
