RFID Based Attendance Management System
Abstract
This article presents the design and implementation of an RFID-based Attendance Management System utilizing the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. Unlike traditional attendance methods, this system automates the process of recording and managing attendance in educational institutions or workplaces, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. Each user is issued a unique RFID card that, upon scanning, communicates the card information to the ESP8266 microcontroller. The ESP8266, with its integrated Wi-Fi capabilities, processes the data and sends it in real-time to a centralized server. This server, managed by a web application, logs the attendance details and maintains a comprehensive database accessible through a user-friendly interface. The system offers a scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution, leveraging the ESP8266’s connectivity and processing power for seamless integration with existing IT infrastructure. It provides a robust platform for future enhancements, such as integration with biometric systems or mobile applications. Demonstrating the potential of IoT applications, this project streamlines administrative tasks, reduces manual effort, and minimizes errors in attendance tracking, underscoring the viability of RFID and Wi-Fi technologies in creating smart, connected solutions for modern institutions.
