RFID-BASED ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

Abstract

Manual attendance systems in schools, colleges, and offices are time-consuming and prone to errors such as proxy attendance and inaccurate record keeping. The RFID Based Attendance System is designed to automate the attendance process using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. In this system, each user is provided with a unique RFID card that contains identification data. When the card is scanned near the RFID reader, the system automatically reads the card information and records the attendance in the database through a microcontroller. The recorded data can then be stored, displayed, or processed for further use such as report generation. The system uses an RFID reader to detect the card, a microcontroller to process the information, and a display or computer interface to show attendance status. This automated approach reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and prevents proxy attendance. The proposed system is efficient, reliable, and cost-effective, making it suitable for use in educational institutions and workplaces for accurate and convenient attendance management.
