Share:
Dresden/Hong Kong, April 18, 2007 - Cognitec Systems, the leading provider of
face recognition technology and systems, today announced that it has completed
the deployment of 133 sets of its Face Recognition Time and Attendance System
(FRTAS) to Ricacorp Properties Limited, the third largest property agency in Hong
Kong.
Cognitec's FRTAS has been installed at branches to provide the company with reliable time-and-attendance
recording services of over 4000 staff members at 133 sites with a projected expansion to 150 sites in the
near future.
Ricacorp Properties Limited have been utilizing traditional clock-in machines with paper cards and manual
input, but recently decided to switch to FRTAS in view of its superb performance and exceptional usability.
FRTAS provides high level of accuracy, speed and ease-of-use. The embedded system design promotes
greater manageability, connectivity and ease-of-maintenance.
"Spirit of Performance - The focus of the organization must be on performance. The first requirement of the
spirit of performance is high performance standards, for the group as well as for each individual." Miss
Wanda Chan, Associate Director (Administration) of Ricacorp Properties Limited, quoted from The Daily
Drucker written by Peter F. Drucker. "It is the rationale behind employing FRTAS to our daily administration
system as we know that 'That's the key to success!'."
Alfredo Herrera, CEO of Cognitec Systems GmbH, said "We are proud to win this order from Ricacorp
Properties Limited. Face recognition application in human resource management has become a very
important focus for Cognitec, and we are well aware of the great potential in the future."
