Abstract

The traditional method of attendance marking at the institution and organizational level is not only inefficient but also takes a lot of time with potential for human errors and proxy attendances. In this paper, we have presented an innovative Multi-Mode RFID based Smart Attendance Management System that incorporates automation of the attendance marking process by integrating RFID technology with ESP32 and centralizing the process of database management. Each individual is provided with a unique RFID card and marked present after passing through the RFID reader. The key feature of this design is its capability to function in multiple modes, thereby enabling a single unit to operate in Schools, Colleges, and Office environments. Real-time feedback is provided with the help of an OLED display with a buzzer alert facility.
