The Challenge – Why Excal Technologies Needed an eSSL Face Machine

Excal Technologies Pvt Ltd, a growing IT services firm based in Magarpatta, Pune, was struggling with unreliable employee attendance tracking across multiple shifts. The company needed a modern, contactless biometric attendance solution that could work without installing client-side software on every workstation — a major constraint given limited hardware availability at remote work areas.

Their key pain points included manual attendance errors, inability to centralize punch data, lack of multi-shift support, and no automated leave or OD (outdoor duty) management. A robust eSSL face machine integrated with a centralized web-based attendance system was the clear answer.

  • No centralized storage of employee punch data
  • No client software installation possible at remote locations
  • Multi-shift management handled manually via registers
  • No digital leave or outdoor duty approval workflow
  • High risk of buddy punching with traditional fingerprint methods

The Solution – eSSL MB-20 Face Machine + Web-Based Attendance Software

Cybernetics Software deployed the eSSL MB-20 face detection machine — a high-accuracy, contactless biometric device capable of identifying employees via facial recognition in under a second. The eSSL face machine was integrated with Cybernetics' proprietary web-based attendance software installed on a central server, eliminating any need for local client installation.

An auto-download utility was configured to automatically pull punch logs from the eSSL face machine to the server at regular intervals. This ensured real-time data availability at the head office regardless of the employee's location or shift.

The solution was fully customized to Excal Technologies' HR policies — including multi-shift configurations, OD (outdoor duty) entries, tour entries, and a complete leave management module — all accessible via a secure browser interface.
