Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the automatic identification technologies more in vogue nowadays. There is a wide research and development in this area trying to take maximum advantage of this technology, and in coming years many new applications and research areas will continue to appear RFID has, for some time, been used to access control in many different areas, from asset tracking to limiting access to restricted areas. RFID has, for some time, been used to access control in many different areas, from asset tracking to limiting access to restricted areas.
Existing system:
At present the attendance system has become a tedious process. It is the duty of the staff to check the students for each and every hour, which is going to be difficult and also time consuming. So we, by implementing the technology of RFID which can be given to the students along with their ID card would be easier.
Proposed system:
In this project we propose architecture and a prototype of a system that uses distributed RFID over Ethernet and we demonstrate how to automate an entire students’ attendance registration system by using RFID in an educational institution environment. Although the use of RFID systems in educational institutions is not new, it is intended to show how the use of it came to solve daily problems in our university. Here we are just going to use a RFID tag and a reader to identify the same. We interface the reader to a microcontroller which in turn is connected to a PC. The data from the controller is passed to the PC via UART. The data can be viewed in several systems via Ethernet.xkD
