IDAC: A sensor-based model for presence control and idleness detection in Brazilian companies

Copyright © 2016 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda. All rights reserved.This article proposes a new model named IDAC for idleness detection and automatic clocking in Brazilian companies. Based on the studies and the gaps identified in related work, we highlight the model features and how it interacts with sensors, providing idleness detection based on the historical movement of the employees. We developed a prototype that was evaluated through simulation, taking into account the architectural plant and the employees behavior of five real Brazilian companies. The results reveals the benefits of using IDAC both at the owner (control and productivity) and employees (the clocking actions occurs automatically) levels.
