The Challenge

Control the significant flow of people and vehicles entering and exiting by authorizing/limiting access to the company on specific days and hours of the week

Control the entry of personnel into restricted areas within the company, allowing access only to specifically authorized staff

Monitor and manage attendance times and process payroll for the company's employees

The Outcome

Identification and authorization of vehicles through an automatic barrier at the entrance and another at the exit of the production site, with two vehicle columns.

Vehicle verification through tags, in the form of badges or labels applied to the windshield

Pedestrian identification through a tripod turnstile located near the security gate

In real time, the system shows the designated personnel the exact number and names of the people inside the production site

Track who accessed and when, as well as any attempted access by unauthorized personnel, thanks to dedicated access control terminals

Control and management of clock-ins and processing of digitized payroll

CLIENT REQUIREMENTS

Enhance the security level of the facility, manage employee clock-ins, and process payroll

To carry out its work, Exide Technologies has a large production site with a large incoming and outgoing flow of people and vehicles during the day. It was therefore necessary to control these flows, authorizing/limiting access of vehicles and people to the company, on certain days and at certain times of the week. Employee access to certain reserved areas inside the company also needed to be controlled, allowing access only to specifically authorized staff. The company also needed to control and manage attendance hours and process payroll for its own employees.

project

Integrated access control system...

The system was designed so that the vehicles and people (employees, visitors, external companies) are identified and authorized to enter and leave the company. Identification and authorization of all the vehicles takes place using an automatic barrier at the entrance and one at the exit of the production sites, which has to vehicle posts. Vehicles are checked using TAGs that may be badges or labels applied to the vehicle’s windscreen. The post aerial detects the tag information and based on access credentials and authorizations, authorizes the barrier to be raised. Pedestrians are identified on a tripod turnstile placed near the reception. Employees can register with their badge - using the attendance monitoring terminals installed in the company - only after passing through the control gates. The system shows the exact number and respective name of people inside the production site in real time to the staff in change, and in this way any evacuations required at gathering stations in the event of emergencies can be managed in total safety.

...and manage the administrative aspects of the staff

The administrative office manages attendance clock-ins through the Zucchetti Presenze Project software; the data flows into the Payroll software for the processing of pay slips. Any requests for leave or justifications for absences and illnesses are submitted by employees and managed through the HR Workflow solution

WHY Zucchetti

Cristina Cometti Review

"Zucchetti software was chosen in 2005 by the HR manager of the time. From when the company decided to change over from a payroll system managed on AS400 to one on Windows, Zucchetti was favored as the software house that supplied most guarantees and could best manage the company's contractual problems."
