A clothing manufacturer at the Export Processing Zone Authority (Epza), Hela Intimates, has suspended a facial recognition system that saw more than 2,000 of its staff locked out of its premises.
The firm said the new attendance capturing system using facial recognition was initiated in November 2021 to improve efficiency and reduce the spread of Covid-19.
