Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Based Employee Attendance Management System

Abstract

Abstract.Manually recorded attendance of all the employees has produced some problems such as the data accuracy and staff performance efficiency. The objective of this research is to design and develop a software of RFID attendance system which is integrated with database system. This RFID attendance system was developed using several main components such as tags that will be used as a replacement of ID cards and a reader device that will read the information related to the employee attendance. The result of this project is a software of RFID attendance system that is integrated with the database and has a function to store the data or information of every single employee. This system has a maximum reading range of 2 cm with success probability of 1 and requires a minimum interval between readings of 2 seconds in order to achieve an optimal functionality. By using the system, the discipline attitude of the employees and also the performance of the staff will be improved instantly. IntroductionThe recording of employee attendance is one of the important factors in human resource management. In-depth and detailed information about an employee's presence can determine work performance, salary, productivity or agency progress in general. However, manually recording the attendance might cause some drawbacks namely time consuming and not being marked due to human error [1][2] [3]. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology started to be developed as one of the alternative technology that makes it easy for users to identify for various things [4]. This technology itself consists of a tag in the form of a special chip where the chip has a unique code of information and a reader that serves to read the codes in the tag [4]. This technology has been implemented into several systems such as library management system, parking system [5] [6]. The use of RFID technology also has been used widely in such ways for automatic attendance system. In year 2016 and 2017, another student attendance monitoring system using a number of technologies has been presented [7][8]. The process of recording and reporting and employee attendance is a continuous process. Employees come at a certain time to attend the absence then at certain hours also the employee is doing absent return. At a certain times the administrative officer will take the attendance card and do the recapitulation to know the attendance number of an employee. Such a process would be very ineffective because it contains several weaknesses, therefore a system that can replace the process of data collection of employee attendance automatically and computerized with the help of RFID.To focus to the research, therefore this research has been limited to entry employee profile and attendance of the employee. With reference to the formulation of the above problem, the objective to be achieved in this research is to design an attendance system by using RFID technology that can help the

Development of a smart attendance system using near field communication (SMAT-NFC)

“…The use of NFC innovation in student attendance systems will likely have an overall impact on the environment for teaching and learning. The idea behind using the NFC-based attendance system is to leverage the two items that students should always have on them (i.e., their matric cards) [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] This paper surveys past investigations made for an assortment of purposes identified with a modernized attendance system. To accomplish this level-headed, we have a systematic writing audit to recognize all current exploration proof pertinent to this point [11].This examination can add to the assortment of information on the utilization or the reception of NFC in instruction organizations, specifically for overseeing attendance or members in an occasion/class.…”

“…It was one of the most significant discoveries of the 20th century. Modern present registering administrations undoubtedly rely heavily on wireless communication innovations like Zig Bee, Bluetooth, and RFID, as well as Infrared (IR) [13]. A short-range radio frequency convention of communication, NFC operates on 13.56 MHz frequencies, with at least 424 kilobits/sec information transfer rates.…”

Usable comprehensive-factor authentication for a secure time attendance system

“…Most security schemes deploy biometrics, such as the real-time face detection-based approach (Kuang & Baul, 2020;Mady & Hilles, 2017;Srivastava et al, 2020;Shrestha et al, 2018;Kumar et al, 2020;Yusof et al, 2018) and fingerprints (Thejaswini et al, 2021;Hasan et al, 2020). Moreover, a number of studies have suggested hardware-based authentications as something you have such as RFID (Putrada & Abdurohman, 2020;Maramis & Rompas, 2018), Near-Field Communication (NFC) (Oo et al, 2018), and wireless sensor networks (Alassery, 2019), while location-based services for area restrictions have been used to track employees (Fatkharrofiqi et al, 2020) and students (Ding, Cao & Zhu, 2018). In terms of multi-factor attendance systems, a two-factor system using RFID and face identification has been implemented for employees (Kurniawan & Zaky, 2020).…”

An Effective Attendance Monitoring System with Fraud Prevention Technique for Educational Institutions

“…In these institutions, RFID-based AMSs are becoming popular day by day. The basic structure of some RFID-based AMSs is described in [3,4,5]. Among these, in [3] an AMS is proposed that can track a student using pre-installed RFID readers on the different locations of the campus.…”

“…In [4] a detailed synopsis of an investigation is done to check the practicality as well as the feasibility of RFID. In [5] an AMS is proposed to increase the efficiency of reporting, discipline and performance evaluation of the employees. In the recent years, RFID based AMSs are being blended with the Internet of Things (IoT) technology.…”
