The punch is the evidence.
Industry surveys say buddy punching affects roughly 75% of employers, and published estimates put the annual time-theft cost near USD 400 billion. The TM ladder answers with family-class fingerprint heads — 1,000–1,600 templates, 0.3 s class, TCP/IP hall sync, plus a 10,000-user / 50,000-record controller class on the same line.
Three pressures that rewrite an attendance spec.
- Punch fraud: with buddy punching cited by ~75% of employers in industry surveys, the verification lane is no longer a formality — a semiconductor fingerprint array with 0.3 s class matching is the baseline for gate lanes.
- Shift sprawl: a factory has a main gate, an annex bay, a canteen; the global access-control and attendance segment runs at USD 2.73 B per industry research, and it is bought as a network, not as one clock.
- Payroll exposure: a published warehouse case records an improvement path from USD 64.8 K to USD 427.6 K — reported ROI of 560% per public report — driven by closing the gap between punch and ledger.
- Evidence trails: 100,000+ card store class plus USB export and server dial/poll modes — the audit file arrives on the record, not after it.
What a multi-shift site needs
| Requirement | Reference target | Our lines |
|---|---|---|
| Fingerprint verify | 0.3 s class, 1:1 and 1:N, dry & aged skin | TM52 / TM60 / TM70 |
| Template capacity | 1,000–1,600 class per union site | TM ladder, per model quote |
| Roster upper bound | 10,000 users + 50,000 records class | TM-SS01 controller (TCP/IP + RS485) |
| Card alley | 100,000+ credential store class | Card option per config |
| Hall sync | TCP/IP, DC12V rail, USB export | TM52 / TM60 / TM70 native |
| Software | Free SDK with demo routine, dial/poll documented | 48h FAE — same line |
| Program flexibility | MOQ 1 pc · samples 1–3 days · mass 10–25 days (<5,000 pcs) · 2-year warranty | Whole line |
One gate, one canteen, one ledger.
- TM70 takes the higher-capacity head position (1,000–1,600 template class) at the busiest lane; TM60 covers the standard member role; TM52 sits on the office corridor — one TCP/IP overlay, one software view.
- The 10,000-user / 50,000-record controller class (TM-SS01) carries the event log with access-group and time-zone matrix per config.
- Same-day report, not next-day: server dial/poll and USB export modes are documented in the free SDK — the 48h FAE line sizes the ladder to your floor map.
- MOQ 1 pc means you validate the exact head on a live wall before the fleet order. Industry research on the 2025 premium module mix puts face at 54.6% and fingerprint at 34.3% of ~19.8 M units — so a face-lane upgrade path stays on the same line.
Three heads from the same ladder.
TM70
Higher-capacity head — 1,000–1,600 template class, TCP/IP, the busiest lane of the hall.
TM60
Standard member — 0.3 s class fingerprint lane with TCP/IP and DC12V rail power.
TM52
Entry member for office corridors — TCP/IP junction into the same hall view.
What integrators report after rolling a ladder out.
Factory-floor integrators run TM70 at the gate and TM60 at the annex bay on one TCP/IP overlay — a single software view for the whole union, instead of a stack of separate clock exports.

1 pc MOQ de-risks the pilot: integrators validate the exact head on the real corridor before the fleet order, and the 1–3 day sample path keeps the payroll season slot open.
Pattern · HR-software resellers — EU
Multi-shift sites keep the record trail on the line class — USB export and server dial/poll means the audit file matches the punch log, with 48h FAE behind LAN-facing questions.

Attendance hardware FAQs
Yes — MOQ 1 pc per model, samples ship in 1–3 days; mass production runs 10–25 days for orders under 5,000 pcs.
Yes — the TM ladder is built for mixed configurations; members appear in the same hall-wide view with per-unit and union modes.
Events ride the controller class (10,000 users / 50,000 records) with dial/poll and USB export; templates sit in the unit's secure lane, not in a shared file.
