Abstract :
In educational institutions like schools, colleges, higher educational institutes and workplaces, traditional attendance systems often involves manual entry, which is more time-consuming and less efficient process. Sometimes it might happens teachers or assistants are not able to manage large amount of data that could be the situation where it consumes large amount of time and need extra efforts. Therefore to reduce the time taking we come up with an RFID-based Smart Attendance System implemented through an Arduino UNO, RFID readers and tags, LCD Display and integration with Excel sheet for automatic and effective attendance. The system applies the use of RFID technology in which every user gets an RFID tag having a distinct identification number. When the tag is scanned by the RFID reader, the Arduino displays the data and the status of attendance on LCD display. Simultaneously, the attendance is logged into an excel spreadsheet for record purposes and analysis. The system enhances accuracy, reduces human interaction and enhances the effectiveness of attendance management.
