What Is RFID - Radio Frequency Identification?

Biometric Attendance System Software

Attendance management is one of the most crucial tasks in an educational institution- school, college, or university. Daily student attendance allows teachers to keep a tab on students’ activities.

An RFID-based attendance system makes use of RFID technology to mark student’s attendance before every lecture in the institute. The students have to use an RFID tag to mark their presence on the RFID reader. The data is stored in the attendance system with high accuracy and efficiency. It can be used by faculty members for further operations.

However, managing the daily attendance of thousands of students is quite a challenging task for teachers. Traditional means of registering daily students’ attendance may result in errors & tremendous manual work.

An RFID based attendance system can be a great solution to overcome such challenges as it automates the students’ attendance process & enables teachers and parents to track & monitor students’ activities effortlessly.

Besides student attendance management, the RFID attendance system can also be used to track the attendance of faculty or staff to simplify the payroll management procedure.

>Scan the Fingerprint

Scan The Thumbprint!

The fingerprints of the employees are used by biometric time and attendance systems to verify who is actually clocking in and out of work each day and ensure that the system provides accurate attendance information. Here, the institution administrator must scan and map each student's or employee's fingerprint, thumbprint, and imprint.

Centralized Storage Of Data

Centralized Data Storage

The biometric attendance software's next step is to store the scanned data in a single, accessible location. The internal mechanism of the biometric system checks the data each time a student or staff member places his finger or thumb on the device, and it then maps the fingerprint's endpoints and intersections to compare it with the data from the employee's system.

User Authentication

Authentication of Users

If the data matches what has already been saved, the entry is timed. Otherwise, the attendance gadget displays an error message indicating unauthorized access. Because the biometric attendance system totally eliminates the potential of unauthorized entrances and gives all institution members personal campus access codes, it offers perfect safety.

RFID Components

Complete Integration

Tag(RFID ID Cards)

The tag of the RFID-based attendance system is made up of an integrated antenna & memory. The information can be written and rewritten on tag memory. This tag is enclosed in a rectangular plastic card of the size of a bank debit/credit card.

Dashboard

RFID Reader

The reader of the RFID based attendance system is a device that is used to read RFID tag data. The RFID reader has an antenna that emits radio waves; the tag responds by sending back data stored in it to the reader.

Client Support

Host Computer

The host computer reads/writes data from/to the tags through the reader. It stores and evaluates obtained students’ attendance data via the RFID attendance tag and links the transceiver to applications.

Benefits of RFID Attendance System over Barcodes

section-heading
  • No line of slight is required to read an RFID card/tag. So no need for oriented reading like barcode
  • Unlike the barcodes, multiple RFID cards can be read at a time
  • No human error like bar code reading while reading a card. RFID can be read in any orientation
  • Very limited data can be stored in the barcode, whereas RFID attendance system allows more data storage
