Regulatory News:
Cinterion, the global leader in cellular machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication technology and a Gemalto (Euronext NL 0000400653 GTO)
company, today announced it is powering communications for the world’s
first M2M
time clock, JobClock Hornet by ExakTime. The new clock uses an advanced
Cinterion module to automatically capture and send precise electronic
time records over wireless networks, simplifying payroll processing and
optimizing jobsite management. The mobile time clock is ideal for any
business with hourly employees such as construction and landscape
companies, restaurants, hospitals and more.
Barber Webb, an industrial products manufacturer in Los Angeles and an
early adopter of JobClock Hornet, immediately realized the benefits of
Cinterion M2M technology.
“It’s amazing how easy it now is to get time records from the field,”
says Gaby Mendez of Barber Webb. “We’ve cut down on paperwork, saved
time and reduced fuel costs by eliminating trips to field to collect
paper cards. The JobClock Hornet has also increased accuracy in time
tracking, which saves money in payroll too. I’ll never go back to paper
time cards!”
Housed in a weatherproof composite material case, JobClock Hornet uses
the easy-to-integrate Cinterion TC65i Java module for reliable
communications in any environment. With optimized power management, the
module sends the time clock stamped data every hour for up to 30 days
without having to recharge its battery pack. This ensures payroll is
processed throughout the week instead of at the last minute, and it
allows management to reassign work crews based on accurate, real-time
staffing information. The JobClock Hornet’s simple set-up and
lightweight, portable form factor make it ideal for mobile worksites as
well as fixed locations due to its wireless ease of installation.
“We designed JobClock Hornet to provide reliable communications
anywhere, and the rugged, power-efficient Cinterion module holds up to
that challenge,” said Tony Pappas, CEO, ExakTime. “The Cinterion
M2M optimized Java technology simplified our product design process and
helped accelerate time-to-market to meet surging customer demand for
this exciting product.”
“With this new device we are revolutionizing the way businesses
process payroll and manage work crew,“ said Paul Kobos, senior vice
president sales NORAM, Cinterion. “JobClock Hornet shows how
state-of-the-art Cinterion technology is continuously applied in new
ways to solve age-old business challenges.“
