TM 785 Data Collection Terminal

 TM 785 Time & Data time clock can record employee time, monitor productivity, control access and monitor inventory in a multitude of industries including restaurants, hospitals, health care facilities, banks, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and many others. The TM 785 functions as a simple to use data collection point for employee information. It can be linked to a variety of existing computer networks in your organization to complement the management information systems you already have in place. By automating your data collection process, you can eliminate the manpower and mistakes associated with conventional time cards thereby reducing both payroll costs and errors.

The TM 785 guarantees accurate, reliable input. Employees simply enter information through the TM 785’s keypad, by swiping a magnetic stripe, bar code, or proximity badge. In addition, the TM 785’s Biometric capability supports multiple types of fingerprint sensors. Employee feedback is provided through audible accept/reject tones and displayed messages. Communication between the TM 785 and your computer is accomplished by one of Sierra’s polling and programming utilities or integrated time and attendance systems. The TM 785 automatically transfers data to your computer. In turn, the computer is used to program the TM 785. Each of the TM 785’s 8 function keys can be programmed to ask up to four levels of information. Each piece of information can be validated and stored in the terminal’s memory until requested by the host computer. The TM 785 can be programmed to prompt employees for data input, display employee messages, validate job costing entries, restrict employee punching via a schedule, regulate employee access to restricted areas, control a bell and much more. The TM 785 collects this data and transfers it to your computer via RS232 serial, RS485 LAN, internal dial-up modem or Ethernet communications, whether wired or wireless.
