The Apollo

Overview

The Apollo is our budget interactive data collection terminal. The two line display gives the user interactive use of the terminal to record time& attendance activity, tips, accruals, facility access control, print reports, and more. The on-screen menus allow supervisors to insert, edit, or delete activity. These same menus allow employees to view an in/out board, view their activity, and review their accrual totals. The Apollo can be configured as an access control, Time & Attendance data collection device. When not being used for access control, the Apollo can also be configured to ring bells with the optional internal relay.  The Apollo has many methods for data entry.  The Apollo can be equipped with Synel proximity, barcode or magnetic strip reader. The Apollo also has a keypad that can be used for data collection. The Apollo has four different ways to connect to the InfiniTime Labor Management System. The Apollo can communicate via RS-232 (Direct to PC),RS-485 (Direct to PC), TCP/IP Ethernet (Network), or Modem (Telephone).  This allows the Apollo to fit seamlessly into any computing environment.

How It Works

User friendly interactive menus make the Apollo very easy to use. The internal menu system allows users to quickly choose the activity they want to perform. From department transfers to entering tip amounts, the menu walks the user through the entire process. The same menu system allows supervisors to perform time inserts, edits, and deletes at the terminal itself. Which eliminates the need for supervisors to have a computer to do routine functions. The Apollo is capable of gathering user information in several ways. The keypad allows the employee to enter a unique PIN and password or the employee can use a badge. The Apollo is a “swipe and go" system and employees never need to select “in or out” during the Time & Attendance process. The data collected by the Apollo terminal is then sent to the InfiniTime Labor Management System. With InfiniTime detailed reports can be generated, exceptions tracked, and data passed on to payroll for check processing.

Applications

The Apollo is capable of performing multiple roles in your organization. The Apollo can be configured to simultaneously provide access control and time& attendance. This makes the Apollo prime for a fast return on investment. The Apollo’s flexibility is premier. With four different connection methods and the four ways it collects data, the Apollo fits in the infrastructure of any organization. The Apollo is a key element to the InfiniTime Labor Management system and pays for itself with the return on investment that it provides. The Apollo is one of only a few business purchases that pays for itself in no time at all!!!
