The use of a photo box for employee photos

The employees in your company are given the option to photograph and / or update their own employee photo at a fixed or regularly changing location (e.g. in the casino or the company canteen or HR department).
It is important that this takes place in the form of a self-service process and that additional employees are not needed on site.
You give your staff the opportunity to identify themselves completely around the clock with their personal employee photo.

The staff photos are automatically cut to the best possible format, removed from annoying elements in the background and optionally saved in different dimensions and aspect ratios.

A suggested solution

You place a photo box perfect for employee photos in your company (e.g. in the Katine, at the ID card or at the reception in a relaxed corner.
The space requirement is approx. 1.5m x 1m.
There, the employees will sit down in front of the photo box, similar to a passport photo machine, and read the operating instructions for the necessary actions on the screen.

The monitor serves as a touch screen in parallel as an input terminal for the required data such as B. Employee ID, name, surname and / or date of birth.
Alternatively, the photo box can also be set up so that the data can simply be read from the company ID card. The information collected in this way then becomes an element of the file name of the employee photo taken.
Optionally, a disclaimer screen with a release option for internal / external use of the image can also be set up.

After the photo of the employee's picture has been taken, the background of the picture can be automatically replaced with one or various backrounds you have specified. The head is also determined for each photo, adjusted to a specified size and placed in a defined position on the final image.

The recording is saved in a size and format specified by you (e.g. square for the ActiveDirectory). The name of the file is used to compare the saved photo and the internal employee data record. We would be happy to help your IT department specify the import interface.

A biometric check and a cut to a biometric ID photo are available as an extra expansion stage.
The image output can take place in different formats at the same time.
So you always have the perfect photo for
XING, LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp & Co, Twitter, Outlook, Instagram, the CRM system
etc. are available.

Of course, each file can also be “personalized” with the help of the company logo and / or the name and position of the employee can be directly visible on the picture.

Advantages of automated photo processes for perfect employee photos

• additional data acquisition before or during the recording sequence
• the employee photo booth is noticeably more cost-effective than a hired photographer
• The name of the employee can also be automatically inserted into the picture without manual rework.
• minimized work time
• Employee portraits according to your corporate design
• automatic branding with your background and logo.
• optimized throughput speed if many employees are to be scanned in a small period of time
• RAW data is also backed up if necessary
• Self-created perfect staff photos in the highest DSLR quality and studio lighting technology

How did the staff come to the picture?

So that not only the CRM system or the ActiveDirectory get the new photos, the employee can choose between three different ways to get his picture digitally.

1. Download via QR code from an offline gallery
   The Photo Box provides its own WLAN which the employee has to dial into.
   At the end of the recording, a QR code is displayed on the screen. The QR code leads to the offline gallery from which the employee can load his photos. In contrast to the online gallery, this path only goes in the immediate vicinity of the Photo Box.
2. Enter the email address at the end of the photo sequence.
   In this case, the captured photo is immediately sent to the employee's mailbox.
3. Download from an online gallery
   At the end of the recording, a code is displayed or printed on the screen, which the employee can use to download the original photo and the different formats for the different target systems.

Other possible uses

In order to make the best possible use of your investment, you have the following options:

• Employee photos (as already described)
• Use at trade fairs to produce personalized “flyers”
• Use at employee parties (summer party, Christmas party ...}
• Creation of biometric passport photos and ID photos
• Photos of groups of visitors, e.g. after a lecture
• Photo attraction at customer events & meetings

The need for investment

The investment for the purchase of such a customized photo booth starts at around € 4,400 plus VAT and is worthwhile for companies with around 100 employees.
Of course, there is also the chance to test the system in advance on a rental basis for € 650 + € 1 / employee photo plus VAT per week.
1/2 of the rent will be credited to the subsequent purchase if the system is kept immediately.
