They were looking for Card less System and wanted to use Finger Print Reader based Attendance Terminals for capturing Attendance. They had tried a number of system from various manufacturers but had failed to implement the same because of time taken to identify user over such a large number of users. The clear mandate was to use the system is only finger mode (1 : N) i.e. no. card.
Fortuna took–up the challenge and put up 3 system in trial Mode initially to check the speed of system with 5000 Finger being enrolled. This process of enrollment carried out for 7/10 days and then with a database of 5000 finger, the system was put in operation to check real time results. They could achieve a thru out of 22 persons attendance per minute which was real time performance. Fortuna then installed 34 Biometric based Attendance terminals in Hero Honda for their entire work force. Then for their new plant a Haridwar, again Fortuna got a repeat order based on performance.
Year of Implementation : March’ 2007

Following are the Hero Honda comments on Fortuna Product & Services :
As per Hero Honda, Fortuna Biometric Based Attendance Product is very robust and effective. They had earlier placed an order to CMS and machines were delivered, but due to non-performance of the machines, they rejected all the machines back to CMS and cancelled the order(during POC phase).
Based on the performance, Hero Honda, placed a repeat order to Fortuna for their new Plant implementation at Haridwar for 19 machines in the first lot & later another Purchase order for 10 machines were placed. The machines are interfaced to the Turn Stile here for Physical Access Control.
