Automatic Portable RFID Based Attendance Device

Electronics and communication engineering

The main purpose of this project is to ensure accurate attendance, educational institutions need to leave the time-consuming traditional paper-pen method & switch to Automatic Portable RFID Based Attendance Device to register daily attendance. This system is ineffective as our valuable time and work get wasted in organizing attendance on pen and paper. Hence to overcome this problem we have used a relational database system to store the real-time data of the students. For this project, we used RFID tags and readers to record the attendance of the students. To manipulate and represent the data based on the unique RFID tags, which get fast and easily scanned on the RFID reader. RFID technology is an automatic wireless identification system. This particular system works with RFID cards and a reader. In this work, we have tried to erase the problem of manually taking attendance with the use of RFID technology. This system is used to help the authority manage the attendance of students in a more organized, efficient, and time-saving manner. This particular system has been implemented in a prototype system that uses RFID tags and a reader to calculate attendance which proves its effectiveness over the normal attendance approach and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module which is connected to the google sheets cloud-based web app and also use LCD display to show attendance is marked. The design of the system is simple, not expensive, and portable to use which makes it good for candidates and also for commercial and academic purposes.
