RFID Based Automatic Attendance System with SMS Module

Computer Engineering

In recent years, there have been rise in the number of applications based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems and have been successfully applied to different areas as diverse as transportation, health-care, agriculture, and hospitality industry to name a few. RFID technology facilitates automatic wireless identification using electronic passive and active tags with suitable readers. In this paper, an attempt is made to solve recurrent lecture attendance monitoring problem in developing countries using RFID technology. The application of RFID to student attendance monitoring as developed and deployed in this study is capable of eliminating time wasted during manual collection of attendance and an opportunity for the educational administrators to capture face-to-face classroom statistics for allocation of appropriate attendance scores and for further managerial decisions. RFID is an automated identification and data collection technology, that ensures More accurate and timely data entry. RFID is not actually a new technology; it only quickly gained more attention recently because of its current low cost and advances in other computing fields that open up more application areas. RFID combines radio frequency and microchip technologies to create a smart system that can be used to identify, monitor, secure and do object inventory. At their simplest, RFID systems use tiny chips called ?tags that contain and transmit some piece of identifying information to an RFID reader, a device that in turn can interface with computers. The ability of RFID systems to deliver precise and accurate data about tagged items will improve efficiency and bring other benefits to business community and consumers alike in the not distant future.
