The Odyssey

Overview 

The Odyssey is a biometric solution that incorporates field proven fingerprint technology and a state of the art data collection terminal. The Odyssey eliminates buddy punching and provides highly secure access control. The Odyssey is the premier interactive data collection terminal. The large two line display gives the user interactive use of the terminal to record Time & Attendance activity, tips, accruals, facility access control, print reports, and more. The on-screen menus allow supervisors to insert, edit, or delete activity. These same menus allow employees to view the in/out board, view their activity, and review their accrual totals. The Odyssey has many methods for data entry. The Odyssey can be equipped with an HID proximity, Synel proximity, barcode, magnetic stripe, or external hand held reader. The Odyssey has a keypad that also can be used for data collection. The Odyssey has six different ways to connect to the InfiniTime Labor Management System. The Odyssey can communicate via RS-232 (Direct to PC),RS-485 (Direct to PC) TCP/IP Ethernet (Network), Modem (Telephone), WI-Fi 802.11 (Wireless) or Bluetooth Class II (Wireless). This allows the Odyssey to fit seamlessly into any computing environment.

How It Works 

User friendly interactive menus make the Odyssey very easy to use. The internal menu system allows users to quickly choose the activity they want to perform. From department transfers to entering tip amounts, the menu walks the user through the entire process. The same menu system allows supervisors to perform time inserts, edits, and deletes at the terminal itself, which eliminates the need for supervisors to have a computer to do routine functions. The Odyssey can gather the users information in several ways. The keypad allows the employee to enter a unique PIN and password or use a badge. The Odyssey is a “swipe and go” system and users never need to select “in or out” during the Time & Attendance process. The data collected by the Odyssey terminal is then sent to the InfiniTime Labor Management System. With InfiniTime detailed reports can be generated, exceptions tracked, and data passed on to payroll for check processing.

Applications

The Odyssey is capable of performing multiple roles in your organization. The Odyssey can be configured to simultaneously provide access control, time & attendance, and job costing functions. This makes the Odyssey prime for a fast return on investment. The Odyssey’s flexibility is premier. With six different connection methods and the six ways it collects data, the Odyssey fits in the infrastructure of any organization. The Odyssey is a key element to the InfiniTime Labor Management system and pays for itself with the return on investment that it provides. The Odyssey is one of only a few business purchases that pays for itself in no time at all!!!
