The study of Neri & Belza et al. (2015), radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has gained
significant attention in various fields, including attendance management systems. This paper proposes
an RFID-based attendance management system for school employees. The system will enhance the
conventional method of taking attendance, typically done manually using pen and paper, by automating
the process and decreasing the likelihood of mistakes and fraudulent attendance records.The system is
reliable and efficient, and it can generate reports and analytics on employee attendance, which the
school management can use for decision-making purposes. panagdait.sccpag.edu.ph
The project of Koppikar & Baligar et al. (2019), The manual process of signing on a paper is prolonged
and insecure.This paper describes the design of an RFID based attendance monitoring system which
uniquely identifies each employee/student based on their RFID tag which is attached to their ID card.
This makes the mechanism of recording the attendance effortless, quicker and protected as compared
to conventional method. The software component consists of the Web-based GUI for viewing the
employee's or student's attendance, which is hosted on a web server and which stores the data in a
database server.The attendance recorded will be more accurate as the system is synced with a real-time
clock. ieeexplore.ieee.org
In the study of Usman (2019), Locating files is one of the greatest problems in universities nowadays and
large volumes of data are usually generated in most institutions of learning. Time is wasted in searching
files, energy is misused in looking for misplaced files, deadlines are missed and sometimes files are lost.
This study proposed the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology as a method of tracking
and managing movement of files from one location to another within an organization. ir.kiu.ac.ug
Ramani & Kumar et al. (2023),. Currently, it is difficult to keep maintaining the student’s attendance at a
single university. This paper proposes an intelligent method for tracking student attendance to make
keeping track of students' presence easier. By automatically marking attendance in the database, it
reduces the amount of time staff spends manually entering attendance information. RFID tags and
readers, a component of the Internet of Things, can be used to identify event attendees instead of time-
consuming paper logs. ieeexplore.ieee.org
According to Sruthy & Kishore et al. (2023), while old techniques are time-consuming and inefficient,
recent years have seen a rise in the importance of student attendance as a reflection of academic
accomplishments and the effectiveness provided to any university. Automated attendance management
software will also produce a well-structured and analyzed report of the pattern of student attendance
and time management, which may aid in the allocation and use of human resources. In this study, RFID
was used to the task of tracking student attendance, allowing teachers and administrators to more
efficiently record in-person classroom statistics that may be used to determine how students should be
graded and inform other administrative choices. ieeexplore.ieee.org
The study of Kumar & Meghana et al. (2023), the objective is to develop a portable, secure, and user-
friendly attendance system based on RFID technology. This technology offers an efficient tool for
monitoring student attendance on a significant magnitude.This system constructs an Internet of Things
(IoT) reliant Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) attendance system capable of storing attendance
records acquired by RFID tags in an Excel format. ieeexplore.ieee.org
Local literature
The utilization of RFID technology to manage student attendance in the classroom through the
integration of ubiquitous computing systems. RFID technology has the potential to be an effective tool
for managing student attendance throughout the duration of a typical school day yet also enhancing
security within the classroom.(Martinez, 2014).RFID applications, such as an automatic attendance
registration system, quickly and effectively identify any material object.(Juaneza, 2015).
The study of Cabanao & Silapan et al. (2017), conducted a study on the implementation of RFID
attendance checker in Philippine educational institutions. Their research focused on assessing the
system's effectiveness in improving attendance monitoring and reducing administrative workload. The
study provided insights into the benefits and challenges of adopting RFID technology in the Philippine
context.
According to Cruz (2022), This systematic review examines the adoption and impact of the RFID
attendance checker system in various educational institutions across Metro Manila. The study identifies
common trends, challenges, and outcomes associated with the implementation of RFID technology for
attendance monitoring. Findings indicate widespread acceptance of the automated system, with notable
improvements in attendance data accuracy and administrative efficiency.
This study explores the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) attendance checker
systems in educational sectors in the Philippines. Dela Cruz (2020) discusses the initial adoption of RFID
technology in tracking student attendance, highlighting its efficiency in reducing manual processes and
improving accuracy. Santos (2021) presents a case study on the integration of RFID attendance checkers
in a local university, emphasizing the positive impact on administrative tasks and student engagement.
Reyes (2023) evaluates the long-term effects of RFID systems, addressing concerns regarding privacy,
data security, and system
maintenance.
