ABSTRACT
• The Attendance Tracking System using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) Module
is an innovative solution designed to automate and streamline the process of recording and monitoring attendance in various settings.
• This system utilizes advanced technologies to provide a more efficient and accurate alternative to traditional attendance tracking methods.
The system consists of RFID tags assigned to individuals and a network of RFID readers strategically placed in key locations, such as entry
points. Each RFID tag is uniquely identified, allowing for precise identification of individuals as they pass through the designated areas.
• The collected attendance data is then transmitted in real-time to a central database using GSM technology. The attendance tracking system
integrates key components to create an efficient and automated solution. RFID tags, uniquely assigned to individuals, contain embedded
information and take non-intrusive forms like cards . RFID readers, strategically positioned at specific entry points, detect tags in their
proximity and transmit data to the central database. Facilitating communication between RFID readers and the central database, the GSM
module ensures real-time data transmission, allowing immediate updates to attendance records.
• The central database serves as a secure repository, managing attendance records centrally. It provides administrators and authorized
personnel with a user-friendly interface for accessing and analysing attendance data. The system eliminates the need for manual attendance
tracking, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring real-time accuracy. Automation streamlines the recording process, saving time for
administrators and individuals alike.
• Accessibility is enhanced, enabling remote monitoring of attendance records through a user-friendly internet-accessible interface.
Moreover, the system is designed for seamless integration with other systems, facilitating comprehensive data analysis and reporting. In
case of anomalies or unauthorized access, the system sends automated alerts or notifications, ensuring prompt attention to irregularities.
Adaptable to diverse environments such as educational institutions, workplaces, and events, the Attendance Tracking System using RFID and
GSM Module represents a versatile solution. By leveraging the capabilities of RFID and GSM technologies, the system introduces a modern
and efficient approach to attendance management, contributing significantly to enhanced organizational processes and overall productivity
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Develop an automated attendance tracking system utilizing RFID
technology to enable students to swipe their RFID cards/tags upon
entry to classrooms.
• Implement real-time data transmission through GSM technology to a
central database, providing efficient monitoring and management of
student attendance records for educational institutions.

MODULES
• RFID Reader
• Entry Display
• Message Notification
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
• ARDUINO : Arduino is employed in attendance tracking systems utilizing RFID and GSM due to its
ability to interface with RFID readers for data capture, integrate GSM modules for real-time
communication, its flexibility for prototyping, cost-effectiveness, and strong community support.
• RFID READER: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically
identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information.
Passive tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader’s interrogating radio waves. Active tags
have a local power source (such as a battery) and may operate hundreds of meters from the RFID
reader
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
• RFID TAG : An Electronic Product Code (EPC) is one common type of data stored in a tag. When
written into the tag by an RFID printer, the tag contains a 96-bit string of data. The first eight bits
are a header which identifies the version of the protocol. The next 28 bits identify the
organization that manages the data for this tag; the organization number is assigned by the EPCG
global consortium. The next 24 bits are an object class, identifying the kind of product; the last 36
bits are a unique serial number for a particular tag.
• SD CARD MODULE : SD cards or Micro SD cards are widely used in various applications, such as
data logging, data visualization, and many more. Micro SD Card Adapter modules make it easier
for us to access these SD cards with ease. The Micro SD Card Adapter module is an easy-to-use
module with an SPI interface and an on-board 3.3V voltage regulator to provide proper supply to
the SD card.
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
• GSM 800L : The SIM800L GSM/GPRS module is a miniature GSM modem that can be used in a
variety of IoT projects. You can use this module to do almost anything a normal cell phone can do,
such as sending SMS messages, making phone calls, connecting to the Internet via GPRS, and
much more. To top it all off, the module supports quad-band GSM/GPRS networks, which it will
work almost anywhere in the world. The operating voltage of the chip ranges from 3.4V to 4.4V,
making it an ideal candidate for direct LiPo battery supply. This makes it an excellent choice for
embedding in projects with limited space.
