Modo quiosco compatible con código de barras, RFID y Web NFC
Seguimiento de tiempo de asistencia en un entorno en el que el usuario no tiene acceso a Kimai (por ejemplo, en un almacén), utilizando un escáner de códigos de barras o RFID para iniciar y detener las hojas de tiempo.
Kevin Papst
A Kimai plugin, which allows using barcodes for punch-in
and punch-out
time tracking with Kimai.
You can use it with a barcode scanner, with a web-camera, with a RFID reader or an NFC reader.
It also supports a “freestyle” mode, which allows to enter any free configurable code (up to 120 characters), so you can also use other devices for starting/stopping:
- an electronic USB number-pad
- an RFID scanner that acts as keyboard
- an Android device with Web NFC support (only Chrome browser)
This bundle is the solution for you, if you want to use Kimai in a kiosk mode, where users register their attendance time through punch-in (coming) and punch-out (leaving) mode.
It could be as simple as:
- Hand out NFC or RFID tokens to your employees
- Mount a tablet to the wall in your entrance room
- Let your users check-in & check-out when entering the building by scanning their tokens
You can test it in the “Plugins” demo.
Features
- Start/Stop work with
- Barcode scanner (via device camera, only works via HTTPS)
- Barcode scanner (via USB or Bluetooth)
- RFID scanner (via USB or Bluetooth)
- Web NFC
- Upon starting/stopping a record via this plugin, the user will see a short overview screen with the entries of the current week (including some statistics)
- New user profile screen for the “codes”
- Display all codes for user
- Generate a random code (automatically done if none is existing yet for the active code-type)
- Re-use existing code for user by entering (or scanning) it manually
- User specific settings to configured allowed start and end working time (user can only clock in between these times)
- Supports the following 1D barcodes:
Code 128
Code 39
-
UPC-A
(scanner needs to transmit check digit) Code 2 of 5
Code 2 of 5 interleaved
-
Codabar
(scanner needs to transmit start & stop digits)
- Optional: show active / inactive users in login screen
- Many CSS classes to customize the look with Custom CSS Bundle
You need to configure a non-global activity for starting the record via this plugin. This will be used for every recorded timesheet that is created using the kiosk mode.
Hardware
This is NOT a hardware recommendation, but more an idea for possible use-cases.
I tried the linked products and even though all scanner are rather cheap, they work without problems.
- Raspberry PI setup with touch screen (eg. for wall mount)
- RFID scanner by Neuftech (desktop version)
- RFID scanner by KKMoon (desktop version)
- Barcode scanner which can also scan codes from mobile phones (desktop version)
- Barcode scanner classic hand-held version
The above are affiliate links for Amazon (germany) where I bought them myself.
Configuration
You have to configure the bundle before you can use it - you reach the configuration via
- the
Plugin
screen (Preferences
in action dropdown behind the plugin) - the Kiosk administration (cogs icon in the upper right)
- the System configuration (
Kiosk & Barcode
section)
The following configurations are available:
Configuration | Description |
---|---|
Login mode |
whether to use camera or usb mode |
Code format |
you have to decide which code format you want to use |
Barcode includes readable code |
whether the barcode in the user profile will include the human readable code |
Duration to display confirmation dialog (in seconds) |
how long the start/stop screens will be shown after a successful scan |
Activity |
the non-global activity that will be used to track the times |
Permissions
This bundle introduces new permissions, which limit access to certain functions:
Permission Name | Description |
---|---|
kiosk_admin |
whether the current user can see the Kiosk administration and assign codes |
kiosk_own_profile |
configure codes and user specific kiosk settings (eg. start and end time) for own account |
kiosk_other_profile |
configure codes and user specific kiosk settings (eg. start and end time) for other accounts |
By default, these are granted to each user with the role ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN
.

Instalación
Copiar archivos
Extract the ZIP file and upload the included directory and all files to your Kimai installation to the new directory:
The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:
Borrar caché
After uploading the files, Kimai needs to know about the new plugin. It will be found once the cache was re-built. Call these commands from the Kimai directory:
How to reload Kimai cache
It is not advised, but in case the above command fails you could try:
You might have to set file permissions afterwards:
Adjust file permission
You have to allow PHP (your webserver process) to write to
var/
and it subdirectories.
Here is an example for Debian/Ubuntu (to be executed inside the Kimai directory):
Crear base de datos
Run the following command:
This will create the required database tables and update them to the latest version.
There are no commands defined in the "kimai:bundle:XYZ" namespace.
,
then either the directory has a wrong name (must be var/plugins/KioskBundle/) or you forgot to clear the cache (look above).
Instalar activos
The following command will install the required assets (images, javascripts, styles):
Actualizaciones
Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:
- Delete the directory
var/plugins/KioskBundle/
-
Execute all installation steps again:
- Copiar archivos
- Borrar caché
- Update database with
bin/console kimai:bundle:kiosk:install
- Update assets with
bin/console assets:install
