I believe one of our customers, Hughes Identification Devices, has a
     system like this.

     Hi there,

     I'm looking for information on attendance monitoring systems.

     I'm developing such a system based on proximity 'smart cards' to
     accurately record actual labour hours/build rates/efficiency etc. in
     an assembly cell and would like to get some information on similar
     systems (manual or automated).

     My proposed system will (in theory) do the following:

     1. Automatically detect the presence/absence of workers in an assembly
     cell (as they walk through a proximity type loop detector)

     2. Monitor the build/yield rates of the assembly cell
     (using pass/fail indicators at final test part of cell)

     3. Calculate actual labour hours, efficiency, build rates and yield
     etc. (from the collated data)

     4. Display this information on a scrolling LED display above cell
     (One per cell)

     5. Upload data to a file server, where management reports can be run
     to update standard costs or estimate capacity etc.

     I would appreciate it if anybody has any information on such systems
     or know where I should look on the INTERNET etc.
