Realtime Automated Classroom Attendance Monitoring System Using RFID

Abstract

Automating attendance systems with advanced features has become increasingly crucial in moderneducational environments to improve efficiency, security, and resource management. The RFID-basedattendance system presented integrates innovative features such as real-time duplicate scan prevention, atimer-based power optimization mechanism, and departure tracking capabilities. The system leveragesRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to accurately record attendance, utilizing amicrocontroller and database integration to manage data effectively. A TFT display provides real-timefeedback, enhancing user interaction by displaying attendance statuses and alerts. The timer-basedshutdown mechanism reduces idle energy consumption, making the system environmentally sustainable.Furthermore, the system tracks student departures, marking absences if students leave the classroomwithout a proper sign-out. Experimental results demonstrate a 98% success rate in attendance accuracy,40% power savings during idle periods, and high user satisfaction due to its intuitive interface. ThisRFID-based system ensures dependable attendance monitoring, enhanced security, and improvedclassroom management, making it a scalable and robust solution for educational institutions. Additionally,the system can be easily integrated with existing school management software for seamless administrativefunctions.
