CHIYU Southeast Asia Coal Mines Case Study – Face and Fingerprint Time Attendance System

Application Scenario: Biometric Access Control in Coal Mines
In a coal mining site in Southeast Asia, thousands of laborers pass through the access points daily. The environment poses unique challenges such as low lighting conditions, high dust levels, and heavy traffic flow, requiring the industrial access control solution that is both rugged and efficient. The project’s main goal was to provide a touchless and reliable biometric system to ensure safe, hygienic, and efficient access for all workers.

Solution: CHIYU Face & Fingerprint Time Attendance System
CHIYU implemented a robust face and finger time attendance system designed specifically for industrial access control in harsh environments.
- CSS-V25Q Face & Fingerprint Terminal deployed at key entry gates.
- Touchless face recognition allows laborers to pass easily without physical contact, ensuring hygiene and minimizing delays.
- Advanced infrared face detection ensures reliable recognition even in dark or poorly lit locations.
- Fingerprint authentication is available as a backup option when needed.
All devices are centrally managed through the CHIYU SOMAC software platform, enabling administrators to monitor attendance, verify entry logs, and generate workforce reports in real time.

Benefits: CHIYU Industrial Access Control
By adopting CHIYU’s face and fingerprint time attendance system, the coal mining company achieved measurable improvements:
- Efficient throughput: Handles large numbers of workers passing daily without bottlenecks.
- Touchless hygiene: Face recognition ensures safe and contactless verification.
- Reliable in harsh conditions: Works accurately in dark, dusty, and industrial environments.
- Centralized control: SOMAC platform provides unified management and reporting for HR and security teams.
By adopting CHIYU’s industrial access control solution, the coal mining company successfully improved worker safety, streamlined labor management, and ensured secure access control in a demanding industrial environment.
