Built for shift workers, shop floors, and 24/7 operations. IP65-rated terminals. CLRA-ready. Real-time payroll export.
Fortuna’s factory attendance system replaces paper registers, disconnected biometric devices, and fragmented contractor records with a single industrial-grade platform. Face recognition terminals rated IP65, tested from -10°C to 50°C, capture every shift punch at the factory gate, shop floor entry, and canteen checkpoint. Unlimited shift patterns map every punch to the right shift automatically. Payroll-ready timesheets export at month end. No manual reconciliation.
Trusted by Tata Steel, Bosch, MRF, ITC, Aditya Birla Hindalco, L&T, Saint Gobain, and 20,000+ organisations across India since 1996.
In factories with hundreds of shift workers, workers clock in for absent colleagues using shared ID cards or PINs. Manual registers make detection impossible. In a 1,000-worker factory, even 5% proxy attendance represents 50 ghost workers every shift — translating to lakhs in annual payroll leakage.
Manufacturing plants run two or three shifts around the clock. Mapping a punch at 00:15 to the correct shift when nights start at 22:00 the previous day requires logic that Excel does not have. Shift swaps, grace periods, cross-midnight overtime, and holiday multipliers combine into a reconciliation process that consumes HR's first week of every month.
Factory floors expose attendance hardware to metal dust, oil mist, humidity, extreme heat, vibration, and corrosive atmospheres. A fingerprint scanner that works in an air-conditioned office fails within weeks on a foundry floor. When a device fails, workers miss punches and data gaps take weeks to reconcile.
Most factories track permanent staff on one system and contract labour on a contractor-submitted paper muster roll. This makes it impossible to produce a unified real-time headcount, verify contractor billing against actual attendance, or generate the integrated workforce records that CLRA inspections demand.
Absenteeism spikes, understaffed production lines, and contractor no-shows are discovered the next morning — too late to reassign workers, adjust production targets, or escalate to the contractor. The information exists; it just arrives too late to be actionable.
Fortuna’s factory attendance system is not a general-purpose attendance product adapted for industrial use. Every element — terminal construction, recognition algorithm, shift logic, compliance reports — is engineered for manufacturing environments specifically.
The VF2000 is IP65-rated, full metal body, and tested from -10°C to 50°C. AI face recognition with infrared depth sensing identifies workers in under 0.3 seconds with 99.5%+ accuracy — even with safety helmets, glasses, or oil on the face. The MicroBEN Bio fingerprint terminal, built on a Suprema optical sensor in an optional SS304 enclosure, is the benchmark for industrial fingerprint attendance across Indian manufacturing.
Define unlimited shift patterns — fixed, rotating, split, overnight — and configure per-shift overtime rules, grace periods, late marks, and holiday multipliers. Every punch maps to the correct shift automatically, including overnight and cross-midnight shifts. Processed timesheets download at month end. The four-day reconciliation disappears.
Every worker category — permanent employees, contract labour, daily-wage staff, apprentices — tracks on the same platform. Contract workers are tagged to their contractor and work order. CLRA-ready per-contractor reports generate automatically from the same data that drives payroll.
Plant managers see live attendance status across all gates, floors, and sites from one dashboard. Absenteeism alerts, understaffed shift notifications, and contractor headcount summaries are available in real time. See shift attendance management for manufacturing for detailed shift configuration.
Attendance exports to XLS/CSV for payroll software, or via REST API for direct integration with SAP, Oracle, greytHR, or any custom HRMS. Overtime, late marks, leave deductions, and shift differentials are pre-calculated.

Trusted by Tata Steel, Bosch, MRF, and 20,000+ organisations. Hardware designed, built, and supported in India since 1996.
Define unlimited shift types: fixed, rotating, split, general, overnight. Assign shifts by department, production line, or worker category. Configure grace periods, late-mark thresholds, cross-midnight punch buffers, and half-day rules. All shift logic runs automatically.
Tag every contract worker to their contractor, work order, and authorised zone. Generate Form V-equivalent records, per-contractor headcount reports, and actual-vs-billed attendance comparisons automatically. See contract labour attendance for factories for the full workflow.
AI-powered liveness detection on every terminal blocks photographs, videos, and silicone masks. Biometric data cannot be shared, duplicated, or transferred. Combined with anti-passback gate control, proxy attendance becomes physically impossible.
Unlimited leave types — casual, earned, compensatory, site-specific — with accrual, carry-forward, encashment, and negative leave rules. Approved leave auto-adjusts attendance records, eliminating the leave-vs-attendance reconciliation step.
Configure daily and weekly overtime thresholds, double-time triggers, holiday multipliers, and overtime caps by worker category. The system calculates overtime to the minute from actual punch times. Supervisors receive real-time alerts when a worker approaches an overtime cap — preventing Factories Act violations before they occur.
Centralised dashboard shows live attendance across all factory sites, gates, and production areas. Drill from site level to department to individual worker in two clicks. Absenteeism patterns, shift coverage gaps, and contractor deployment status are visible in real time.
Pre-calculated timesheets include total hours, overtime hours, late marks, leave deductions, and shift differentials. Export as XLS or CSV, or integrate via REST API. Compatible with SAP, Oracle, Zoho Payroll, greytHR, and custom HRMS platforms.
The same biometric terminal at the canteen checkpoint authenticates workers for meals, deducting from prepaid wallets or flagging for payroll deduction. Separate access rules for permanent and contract workers. See factory canteen management system for the full workflow.
Every factory-grade terminal below is built by Fortuna — IP65 face and fingerprint devices that feed one attendance platform.
AI face recognition terminals rated IP65 are the best fit for most factory environments. They work in dust, humidity, and temperature extremes without physical contact — eliminating the problem of oil-coated or calloused fingers failing on fingerprint scanners. Fortuna’s VF2000 identifies workers in under 0.3 seconds with 99.5%+ accuracy, even with safety helmets or glasses. For high-dust chemical zones, the MicroBEN Bio fingerprint terminal with Suprema sensor and SS304 enclosure is the recommended alternative.
AI-powered liveness detection on every terminal analyses depth cues and micro-movements to distinguish a real person from a photograph, video, or mask. Biometric data cannot be shared or transferred to another person. Anti-passback gate control prevents tailgating. Each of these controls independently prevents proxy attendance; together they make buddy punching physically impossible.
Every biometric terminal stores punches locally when network connectivity is unavailable. As soon as connectivity resumes, all stored punches sync to the cloud with original timestamps preserved. No attendance data is lost due to internet outages. This is a design requirement, not an option — factory connectivity is too variable to depend on.
Yes. Fortuna generates time-stamped, biometric-verified attendance records that satisfy the Factories Act 1948 (working hours, rest periods, overtime limits) and the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (worker registration, attendance records, working hours documentation per contractor). Reports export in formats accepted by factory inspectors and labour commissioners.
