The Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works from the Hong Kong Drainage Services Department is the largest sewage treatment works in Hong Kong in terms of daily output capacity. It is located in Ma Liu Shui, Sha Tin, along the ShingMunRiver, at its mouth into Sha Tin Hoi (Tide Cove).

The drainage services department has 120 employees on site but at the time lacked any formal measures to regulate employee times and access control. Knowing this was an issue, the department contacted ACTAtek to provide them their Time Attendance and Access Control solution.

• Multiple ACTAtek Fingerprint and Smart Card units were deployed on the sites for flexible authentication methods.

• Built in CMOS Camera provides snapshots of the user from each transaction made from the terminal.
• Integrated Access Control facilities with Time Attendance saves time and costs from additional unnecessary hardware.
• Web based embedded software in terminals allows users to quickly analyse event logs and export records when needed.
• LAN connectivity from the ACTAtek unit’s easy connectivity allows multiple site installations with unified data synchronisation that reduces administration time and unnecessary additional costs.
• Data can then be imported into the AMS application to generate attendance reports, payroll and wage calculations.

The Hong Kong Drainage Services Department have praised the ease of use and intuitive design of the hardware solution. With backed technical support and friendly advice from ACTAtek, Hong Kong Drainage Services Department overall stated that they had a positive experience with the Time Attendance and Access Control solution provided and would recommend it to others.

The implementation of ACTAtek and AMS management solution for both access control and workforce management instead of two separate access control systems and time clocks save purchasing, operational and maintenance costs.
