Major benefits of hand geometry are that it is fast, non-intrusive and accurate across a wide range of lighting conditions and skin colours. The hand does not necessarily have to touch the plate, making it suitable where hygiene is important, or where religious and cultural traditions make touching offensive.

Hand geometry readers are larger than fingerprint readers and are used primarily for physical access control and recording work time and attendance.



The HandPunch and HandKey terminals use a 3D digital camera that reads 30 000 points of an individual's hand in less than one second. Stains, jewellery and false fingernails should have no adverse effects.

HandPunch and HandKey terminals have battery back-up and a large memory capacity to store templates and transactions during power failures, thereby ensuring the integrity of the data for accurate payroll processing.
