Experience "Terminals Made in Germany" in all its diversity
Weitere Informationen zur Themenreihe Terminals:
ISGUS terminals and solutions are in active use across a variety of industries. From manufacturing to administration, time, access, and process data are reliably recorded every day. These companies rely on robust systems that work reliably in day-to-day operations and scale to meet their growing needs.



















The modern workplace is hybrid, flexible, and highly interconnected. That is precisely why booking processes must support different ways of working. ISGUS terminals offer a variety of identification and booking methods that can be individually combined:
This creates a flexible system environment that supports production areas, office workplaces, and mobile teams alike.
ISGUS Terminals are far more than simple data capture devices. They serve as the interface between employees, business processes, and enterprise systems. In day-to-day operations, they enable:
All data is transferred directly to the ZEUS® system, where it is available for analysis and further processing.
Different technologies are available depending on security and organizational requirements. These can be flexibly combined and include:
This enables companies to implement different security levels within a single integrated system.
ISGUS terminal solutions are used across a wide range of industries and organizations of all sizes. Typical areas of application include:
The systems can be integrated into both new buildings and existing infrastructures.
Whether it is a single terminal or a complex, multi-site system landscape, the ISGUS terminal portfolio grows alongside the organization's requirements.
New locations, additional areas, or new booking media can be integrated at any time without altering existing structures.
For particularly sensitive areas, biometric terminals provide unique and non-transferable identification.
The combination of fingerprint and facial recognition ensures fast authentication without the need for an additional medium, while also reducing the risk of misuse or disclosure of access credentials.
This technology offers a decisive advantage, especially in security-critical areas or environments related to KRITIS.
ISGUS terminals are not isolated devices but part of a holistic system architecture for time management, access control, and operational data. They connect employees, processes, and enterprise systems in real time, ensuring that information is created exactly where it is needed in daily operations.
Through direct processing within the system, a consistent data foundation is created for HR, production, security, and management. This provides organizations with transparent and up-to-date information at all times, without manual intermediate steps or breaks in data flow. This reduces sources of error and enables reliable digital processes across the entire enterprise.
Especially in the context of working time recording, data protection, and increasing compliance requirements, the terminals provide a stable foundation for legally compliant and future-proof business processes in Germany. At the same time, they remain flexible enough to evolve alongside the demands of modern working environments.
Not every organization has the same requirements for time recording, access control, or data capture. That is why ISGUS offers different terminal types that are specifically tailored to various use cases and organizational structures.
The selection depends, among other factors, on company size, security requirements including KRITIS, the deployment environment such as office, production, or outdoor areas, the desired identification technology, and integration into existing systems. Future expansion and scalability also play an important role.
This results in no standard solution, but a custom-tailored system landscape that adapts flexibly to business processes and grows with organizational needs.
Compared to traditional time clocks or isolated standalone solutions, ISGUS terminals are fully integrated into the ZEUS® system. This eliminates siloed solutions and instead creates a centralized platform for all relevant data and processes.
Organizations benefit from real-time processing, a unified user and rights management system, and a consistent system architecture across all locations. Extensions can be added modularly without disrupting existing processes.
This transforms the terminals into an integral component of digital enterprise management rather than mere data capture devices. They create transparency, efficiency, and security across all areas of the organization.
Modern organizations today face the challenge of managing hybrid working models, labor shortages, and increasing compliance requirements simultaneously. At the same time, employees expect digital, simple, and flexible solutions in their daily work.
Terminals must therefore do more than record working time. They support mobile identities, enable flexible working time models, dynamically control access rights, and provide real-time data. At the same time, they comply with legal requirements for time tracking in Germany and support organizations in adhering to internal policies.
The ISGUS terminal portfolio is specifically designed to meet these requirements and is continuously evolving. It combines stability with flexibility, providing a future-proof foundation for modern working environments.
ISGUS terminals serve as central capture and interaction points for employees within the organization. They enable the reliable recording of working hours, operational data, and access information directly at the point of activity. Depending on the configuration, additional functions such as workflow bookings, information retrieval, or system notifications can also be used. As a result, the terminals evolve into digital interfaces that go far beyond a traditional time clock function and are actively integrated into daily work processes.
ISGUS terminals support a wide range of modern identification media, enabling organizations to respond flexibly to different requirements. These include RFID cards and transponders, biometric methods such as fingerprint or facial recognition, as well as mobile solutions via the ZEUS® smartID app. This combination makes it possible to map different security levels and usage scenarios within a single system, without creating media discontinuities or parallel standalone solutions.
With the ZEUS® smartID app, the smartphone becomes a fully functional identification medium for time and access control processes. Employees can use it to record working hours or securely unlock doors and restricted areas via Bluetooth technology. The key advantage lies in its high availability, as smartphones are typically carried at all times in daily work. This eliminates forgotten transponders or ID cards while creating a modern and flexible user experience.
Yes, ISGUS offers dedicated terminal variants designed for both indoor and outdoor use. These devices are engineered for different environmental conditions and can be installed, for example, at entrances, access points, or within production environments. This enables organizations to achieve full coverage regardless of whether time recording or access control takes place inside or outside buildings.
The systems meet high standards in terms of security, traceability, and documentation, making them suitable for organizations operating in critical infrastructure (KRITIS) environments. Through role-based permissions, detailed logging of all events, and secure identification methods, a high level of transparency is achieved. Organizations can track at any time who accessed which areas and when, or which transactions were performed. This is particularly important for audits and regulatory compliance requirements.
