Who actually came through your gate? An interactive Ankastra workforce demo
Shift A starts at 06:00. Permanent workers, contractors and floaters punch at a face kiosk or biometric reader and appear on their line boards. The weld line is short, a buddy punch is attempted, and at the end each contractor's claim is checked against the punches before payroll.
Every number, ID and event in this demo is simulated to show how the system behaves. None of it is customer data or a measured result.
What you are looking at
- Gates open: the face kiosk and biometric reader go live for the shift.
- Punches arrive: each person appears on their line board as they punch; late arrivals trigger a WhatsApp note to the supervisor.
- Shift starts: at 06:00 the weld line is short and the supervisor is alerted.
- Short line covered: floaters move to the weld line and their hours book to it.
- Contractor claims checked: each contractor’s claim is compared with the punches and the difference is held before payroll.
- Registers ready: attendance registers fill from the punches with no manual entry.
How this maps to Ankastra
Ankastra connects to the attendance devices you already have or adds a face kiosk, keeps permanent employees, contractors, floaters and daily wage workers with their own shift and payroll rules, and runs statutory payroll and registers from the same attendance data.
Supervisors see line headcount on a phone or a shop floor TV, and alerts go out on WhatsApp.
From real projects
Ankastra manages over 71,000 employees across 14 contractor companies at enterprise manufacturing sites in India.
Company reported project figure, not independently audited, not a promise for another site.
Questions
How does Ankastra check contractor attendance?
Each contractor submits attendance and invoices through a contractor portal. Ankastra cross checks the claims against biometric or face punches and flags differences before payroll is processed.
Which attendance devices does Ankastra work with?
ESSL, Matrix COSEC, ZKTeco and Honeywell biometric devices, and a face recognition kiosk for plants without existing hardware.
Can a worker punch for an absent colleague?
With face recognition the kiosk identifies the person in front of it, so a second punch by someone already inside is recognised as theirs and rejected. The demo shows this case.
Is the data in this demo real?
No. The workers, IDs, contractors, headcounts and times are simulated to show how the system behaves. They are not customer data.
Why does the demo ask for my name and email?
So our team can follow up if you want to see Ankastra on your own data. The explanation on this page is open to everyone; only the interactive view needs the form, once for all six demos.
