RFID CARD BASED ATTENDANCE SYSTEM USING ARDUINO

Abstract

The RFID Card-Based Attendance System with Arduino is intended to automate attendance tracking in educational and organizational settings. Traditional attendance techniques, such as human roll calls, are prone to errors, inefficiencies, and fraud, including proxy attendance. The goal of this study is to create an RFID-based system that will streamline the attendance process by utilizing the RFID RC522 module and NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller. Using RFID technology, the system allows for real-time data capture, decreases human error, and improves operational efficiency. The system tracks attendance by scanning RFID cards, which are subsequently processed and saved on a computer for real-time monitoring. This study assesses the system's performance in terms of accuracy, speed, and usability, as well as its limitations and potential improvements. The study concluded that RFID technology is a dependable, scalable, and efficient alternative for automated attendance systems, with potential future additions such as increased security, biometric integration, and expanded offline capabilities.
