Industry · Manufacturing & plant

Plant technology built for shifts, dust and downtime.

Time and attendance with biometric clocking, contractor and visitor control at the gate, IoT sensors on lines and cold rooms, production-floor networks, camera monitoring and managed IT that understands a 24-hour plant.

For factories, food producers, packaging, steel and engineering works, and plants with 50 to 2 000 staff.

Manufacturing & Plant

What we walk into — and what we leave behind.

The reality

Buddy-clocking on the shift register. Contractors on the floor with no induction record. A cold room that failed on Saturday and nobody knew until Monday. Wi-Fi that can't reach the line. Payroll disputes every month.

How we solve it

Swiss Attendance with biometric and mobile clocking, shift rules and payroll export. Swiss VMS for visitors and contractor induction. Swiss Pulse sensors on temperature, power and machines. Networks designed for the floor. Cameras monitored overnight by Swiss Core.

How it starts

Four steps from first call to live.

Walkthrough

Thirty minutes on your operation: sites, staff, systems, compliance exposure. Free.

Written proposal

Platforms, services, price and rollout plan in writing — fixed, not estimated.

Pilot

One site or one team live first. We tune it with your people before scaling.

Rollout & run

Phased go-live, training, then managed under SLA with monthly reporting.

Questions manufacturing buyers ask us

Straight answers.

Which clocking hardware do you support?

Fingerprint, face and card terminals from the major SA suppliers, plus mobile clocking with GPS and photo for remote sites.

Can it handle rotating shifts and overtime rules?

Yes — shift patterns, grace periods, rounding, overtime, Sunday and public-holiday rules per BCEA or your bargaining council.

Can sensors alert us about a cold room?

Swiss Pulse monitors temperature, humidity, power and door state and alerts by app, SMS and 3CX call when a threshold is breached.

Do you separate the office and plant networks?

Yes — VLANs and firewall policies separate OT, cameras, guests and office, with monitoring on every switch and link.

Can you integrate to our ERP or payroll?

Yes — exports and APIs to Sage, VIP, SAP, Syspro and others.
