Attendance Management System using RFID Technology.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is used for transferring data from an electronic tag by using radio waves. The electronic tag, called RFID tag or label, is attached to an object, through a reader to identify and track the object. RFID technology has been widely deployed by various organizations as a part of their automation systems. In this project, an RFID based system has been built in order to produce an attendance management system. This automated attendance management system will make the entire process simple and will also provide a well-structured report of the pattern of student’s attendance and time management. These reports can further help in allocating and using the human resources of the college organization accordingly. This system consists of two parts which include: the hardware and the software. The hardware consists of a motor unit and RFID reader. The RFID reader is a low-frequency reader (125 kHz) which is connected to the host computer via a serial to USB converter cable. The Time-Attendance System GUI is developed using Visual Basic.Net using C# language. The Attendance Management System provides the functionalities such as displaying live ID tags transactions, registering ID, deleting ID, recording attendance and other minor functions. This interface is installed in the host computer.
