Keolis Commuter Services announced the launch of a new, technologically advanced time clock system that uses biometric scanning to improve the accuracy and ease of timekeeping processes at all Keolis mechanical facilities. This new system, which has been in the works for more than a year, will enable employees to clock in and out by swiping their finger and tapping in a personalized PIN number, replacing the current badge system.
The new technology was rolled out today at the MBTA Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility, the primary train maintenance repair facility for the MBTA Commuter Rail system. It also serves as a layover and storage site for trains that operate in and out of North Station.
The new system will go into effect on 16 December for approximately 550 Keolis mechanical employees.
“This new program, widely used by many businesses around the world, will enable Keolis to bring a modern approach to tracking time and attendance, freeing our staff to focus their time getting locomotives and coaches back into service more quickly to ensure our passengers get where they need to go,” said Ernest Piper, Acting Chief Mechanical Officer at Keolis Commuter Services.
