Kiosk management
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A kiosk is a self-service station that allows employees to check in and check out for work shifts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two ways to set up a kiosk:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Laptop and desktop PC**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running a kiosk in a web browser is the cheapest and most flexible option. You can print employee
|
||
|
|
badges with any thermal or inkjet printer compatible with your web browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Tablet and mobile phone (Android or iOS)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tablets and mobile phones take up much less space, and their touchscreens are easy to use.
|
||
|
|
Consider putting them in a secure stand at the front desk or mounting them securely on a wall.

.. tip::
|
||
|
|
We recommend using an iPad together with the `Heckler Design WindFall Stand

||
|
|

RFID key fob readers
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Employees can scan personal RFID key fobs with an RFID reader to manage check-ins and check-outs
|
||
|
|
quickly and easily.

|

We recommend using the `Neuftech USB RFID Reader <https://neuftech.net/Neuftech-USB-RFID-Reader-ID-Kartenleseger%C3%A4t-Kartenleser-Kontaktlos-Card-Reader-f%C3%BCr-EM4100>`_.

An IoT box is **not** required.

Barcode scanners
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Employees can scan the barcode on their employee badges to manage check-ins and check-outs quickly
|
||
|
|
and easily. The kiosk mode works with most USB barcode scanners connected directly to a computer.
|
||
|
|
Bluetooth barcode scanners are also supported natively.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. tip::
|
||
|
|
We recommend using the `Honeywell product line
|
||
|
|
<https://sps.honeywell.com/us/en/products/productivity/barcode-scanners>`_. If the barcode
|
||
|
|
scanner is connected directly to a computer, it must be configured to use the computer's keyboard
|
||
|
|
layout.
