How many people actually work in each area

Cameras count people in each work area every half hour and show breaks and arrivals through the staff entrance. You see where a line is short of people and where people stand idle.

For production managers, HR and the CFO.

How it is monitored today

A timesheet shows who swiped a card. It doesn't show who is at their assigned station.

How long a break really lasts is known only to the person taking it.

Shift staffing is decided by gut feeling.

What the camera notices

  • People by work areaThe count in each area every half hour, with the frame it was counted from.
  • BreaksHow many times and for how many minutes people are away from the area.
  • Arrivals and departuresPasses through the staff entrance over the day.
  • WorkstationsWhich tables are occupied and which are empty.
  • Understaffed linesAn area with fewer people than the norm you set.

The system counts how many people are in an area and doesn't track each person individually. It doesn't identify people on the plant floor. Face recognition is possible only at the staff entrance and only with employees' written consent, because it is biometric data.

FAQ

Is this legal?

Open video surveillance with an internal order, signage and employee acknowledgment is standard practice. Biometrics require separate consent. We recommend having a lawyer review the wording for your company.

How do employees react?

It goes better when the purpose is explained in advance: order and fair records. The data protects conscientious employees from suspicion.
