Attendance System using RFID with “Drive Thru” Techniques

The Current state of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been expending in the terms of information handling and material flow. It is one of many technologies grouped under Automatic Identification such as barcodes, magnetic inks, optical character recognition, voice recognition, touch memory, smart cards, and biometrics. RFID is an important feature because of the ability to detect objects under unique identification. Therefore, a possible approach with the "Drive-Thru" Attendance System project for University Education Sultan Idris (UPSI) staff by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) outlines the likelihood that can be used to improve staff attendance efficiency. The purpose of this project is to improve the system of old attendance and to eliminate the remaining time during the attendance collection. The RFID reader is located at an angle called "Drive Thru Zone" on both Campuses where staff will pass the route for the purpose of scanning the identity card tag (ID) for attendance. Then, the information is processed by MTLAB and PICKIT2 before displaying the data received on the LCD and the output shown on the PC / Laptop. The result shows that if the identity card is not registered, it can not access the staff attendance. About 70% of respondents agreed with the project based on the questionnaire distribution. In conclusion, "Drive Thru" shows staff arriving on time and able to eliminate the rest of the time.
