Traditional timekeeping methods often have many limitations in terms of accuracy and speed, affecting the objectivity of employee timekeeping. Therefore, many businesses have now applied RFID card timekeeping because this technology brings many practical benefits, ensuring transparency and optimal benefits for employees. Nam Viet IT specializes in providing professional RFID timekeeping solutions, enhancing comprehensive management capabilities for businesses.

Overview of RFID Timekeeping
Although RFID cards are not biometric, RFID cards contain a unique identifier, which contains employee information such as full name, date of birth, position, etc. RFID timekeeping cards act as employee cards, which can be controlled for access, thereby helping businesses manage human resources and security in the best way.
Structure of RFID timekeeping card
Includes:
- An antenna is integrated in the card, using radio waves, communicating with the RFID card reader to transmit data.
- RFID chip creates a unique identification number, not duplicated with any card.
- The substrate is usually a polymer or plastic sheet that can withstand environmental impacts. The substrate is responsible for attaching the RFID card parts together as well as protecting the RFID card during operation.
How RFID timekeeping cards work
Each RFID timekeeping card will contain an electronic chip that stores a unique identification code and a micro-antenna. When the RFID card is placed in the electromagnetic field (near the timekeeping reader), the magnetic energy will activate the RFID chip, allowing the card to transmit back the stored identification code. The RFID reader with antenna receives the signal, processes and decodes the information, and transmits it to the central management system to perform tasks related to timekeeping.
The core of timekeeping using RFID cards is the ability to identify without contact and the uniqueness of each card, which helps businesses avoid unauthorized access and ensure security in the best way.
Benefits of RFID Application in Timekeeping
RFID card timekeeping system brings many significant benefits to businesses, specifically as follows:
Save time and improve operational efficiency
Compared to traditional timekeeping methods, applying RFID technology in timekeeping will help improve recognition speed, high accuracy, bringing the best operational efficiency to businesses. Employees only need to bring the card close to the RFID reader, the information recording process takes place in a split second, minimizing waiting time, especially during peak hours.
The application of RFID in timekeeping helps automate the process, freeing up resources for the human resources department, while minimizing errors due to manual data entry errors.
Accuracy and transparency in enterprise human resource management
Each RFID card is assigned a unique identification code for each employee, so the accuracy is absolute. Time-in and time-out data is automatically recorded objectively by the system, which is the basis for calculating salaries and managing human resources effectively and transparently. Time-in and time-out history is stored in real time on the system, allowing managers to easily check, compare and resolve issues related to working time.
Easy to use, smart management, reducing human resource costs
The RFID time-in and time-out system is highly appreciated by users thanks to its simple operation, management software with an intuitive interface, creating and customizing reports according to needs. This helps businesses optimize human resource costs for time-in and time-out, tracking and managing employees.
RFID timekeeping cards have outstanding durability
RFID cards are highly durable, can be reused many times, saving costs for businesses. In particular, one of the outstanding advantages of the RFID timekeeping system is the ability to flexibly integrate with business management systems, easily expand and upgrade when businesses need to develop the system.
