IrisTime™ iT100

IrisTime™ is a fully customizable time and attendance platform designed to meet the needs of organizations small and large. It is a product of Iris ID, the global leader in iris recognition technology for 25 years. IrisTime enables the creation of applications for the time and attendance market. It is designed to enable development of best-of-breed applications that will reside on the device.

The IrisTime platform uses dual biometric iris and face recognition capabilities to authenticate identities quickly, accurately and conveniently. Resident Android-based applications then process payroll and may calculate many other benefits such as health, disability, attestation questions and vacation.

Iris ID provides a comprehensive set of development tools for the IrisTime iT100 TimeClock. The platform supports the RESTful application program interface (API) enabling the device to work as an on-demand data aggregator. Well-documented examples to aid the development community are available.

Device management tools will be part of the application console. IrisTime includes the iTMS (IrisTime Management Services) application to manage the device on networks. iTMS functionality will also be available in API form to enable software developers to integrate device management in custom applications.

Yes, IrisTime is designed to support cloud-based applications.

The IrisTime™ iT100 is Iris ID’s non-contact time & attendance biometric offering that features both iris and facial recognition technology. Automatic recognition of iris and/or face is possible. A large capture volume allows for increased flexibility, speed, and convenience. Enhanced security through Secure Boot and an open Android Platform provides an opportunity for third party application development.

The IrisTime™ iT100 uses infrared light in conjunction with a digital video camera to simultaneously capture a picture of the employee’s face and irises. The infrared light illuminates the employee, and the video camera captures the images. These images are analyzed by algorithms to create mathematical representations of each known as templates. When an individual is enrolled in the iT100, templates are created and stored in memory. The templates become the reference templates for future identification attempts. Reverse engineering this template into the face or iris image of the person who used it is impossible due to the high data compression and proprietary mathematical formula of the algorithm.

Iris is the most accurate biometric; however, by combining face with iris we deliver convenience with the highest accuracy. In environments where part of the workforce needs to use a mask or hardhat, face biometrics alone can struggle. Providing both iris and face — and the flexibility to pick the modality for individual identification — makes it possible to identify 100% of individuals, 100% of the time, in any condition.

Customers are demanding fast, non-contact, secure and accurate biometrics and technologies that offer HR information to employees in real time rather than making a trip to HR offices. Our goal was to build a product that is flexible, configurable, and scalable — supporting legacy solutions while enabling future apps as a true end-point device that can interface with users to manage their work lives.

IrisTime accommodates Android-based applications developed for time and attendance, including apps from Google Play and leading developers. Flexibility and configurability are key: organizations can choose iris only, face only, iris or face, or iris-face fusion, and change identification policy with a click or an API call.

Absolutely. We see demand for a fast, non-contact and accurate solution. Our approach is to offer an open platform where Android app developers and organizations can use the iT100 to fit their work needs and create custom-developed solutions that will impact the adoption of biometrics across markets.
