ATTENDANCE SYSTEM BASED ON RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Attendance is an important aspect of every educational institute or workplace. Most universities are still using the paper-based attendance system. This paper presents an effective approach to improving the processes of attendance systems using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The design of software tools was implemented by using Visual Basic 6.0 for interfacing and a database for persons’ information including RFID tags identification (IDs). The proposed design has Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to get messages from the application when the identification is done and pass information back to the microcontroller to send this information to the LCD to be displayed.
