ATTENDANCE SYSTEM USING RFID
PREPARED BY : NAZURA NAJMI BINTI MOHD ARIF
ABSTRACT
Most educational institution administrators are concerned about student attendance. The existing typically attendance system requires students to manual sign the attendance sheet every time they attend a class. At the end of the class, the lecturers will collect the attendance sheet to be record in the system. As common as it seems, system lacks of automation, where a number of problems may arise. Having a system that can automatically capture student's attendance by flashing their student card at the RFID reader can really save all the troubles. The purpose is to develop a wireless system to detect and maintain the attendance of students. For this student ID (identification) card is tagged with Radio-frequency identification (RFID) passive tag which is matched against the database. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and Internet of Things (IoT) technology are implemented in this system. Attendance System using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the solutions to overcome this problem. Its ability to uniquely identify each person based on their RFID tag type of ID card make the process of taking the attendance easier, faster and secure. Students only need to place their ID card on the reader and it will be updated in the online system. Their attendance will be taken immediately with real time clock. The capability of the system attendance taken will be more accurate since the time for the attendance taken will be recorded and store the attendance taken inside database.
INTRODUCTION
Presently, attendance of students is taken by the lecturer on paper based attendance registers. There are various disadvantages to this approach such as data is not available for analysis because attendance sheets are not uploaded to the system, time taken for data collection reduces the effective lecture time and fake attendance by students. IoT is a dynamic global network organization with self-configuring capabilities based on standard and communication protocols. In the IoT, physical and virtual things have identities, physical attributes, and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces. The physical and virtual things are seamlessly integrated into the information network RFID is modify to be an important building block for the Internet of Things (IoT). Radio frequency (RF) technology is used in many different applications, such as television, radio and radar. RFID is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves. Attendance System using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is proposed to effectively used for identification of large number of students in universities.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Most of the universities still use old method to record all the data for the student attendance by manually write it on form every time they attend a class. This method will cause some problems that lead the causes of this Attendance System using RFID to develop are:
-
Time consuming and inefficient by the students to find and sign their name on the attendance sheet.
-
Some students may mistakenly or purposely sign another student's name and the attendance sheet may got lost.
-
Currently attendance tracking system like having the attendance record in a hardcopy form like a student missing out their name, while the other leads to a false attendance record.
OBJECTIVES
The Attendance System using RFID is developed to achieve some of this objectives:
-
To study the problem of current system in the proposed system
-
To develop a real time attendance system using RFID in IoT
-
To test the functionality on how the system works
TECHNIQUE
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables innovative opportunities by connecting new era technology and objects to create new applications any field. IoT allows “things (objects)” to be sensed and controlled remotely across the Internet. For IoT, each object is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the network infrastructure. In general, the IoT requires a few necessary components to enable communication between devices and objects, and objects need to be an auto identified technology, usually a RFID tag, so that the object can be uniquely identified. In other words, the IoT refer to embedding the devices such as RFID tag on the objects, and then through wireless communication technology the objects can automatically communicate the information each other to achieve intelligent identification and management of the objects. Hence, RFID plays a very important role in IoT industries and also makes IoT come to people’s life or lives.
