RFID Attendance Management System
The attendance monitoring system is a computerized software that uses special biometric or RFID devices to capture attendance data accurately including arrival time, duration of absence from section, and leaves. It records all student data accurately and stores it for years.
Attendance is one of the essential activities in an educational institute. Students have a tendency to bunk lectures or give a proxy attendance which can lead to chronic absenteeism and can further affect their academic performance. Parents and faculty are always concerned about their ward’s/student’s poor attendance.
The conventional method of conducting student attendance in each lecture can be time consuming. Also, the roll calling process can take up around 30 mins on a daily basis, which is an inefficient method. In addition, there is a high chance of proxy attendance in the manual approach, further raising concerns among the faculty and parents.
Various bodies such as NEP and relevant government & statutory bodies are promoting schools and colleges to implement a foolproof and automated student attendance management system which can save time and ensure the highest level of accuracy. In the traditional method, compilation of bulk student attendance records as well as communicating to parents on a daily basis requires more man hours and resources.
Also, this approach can have less transparency among the stakeholders. For instance, if the student is absent for more than a week and has been giving proxy attendances, both the faculty and parents are unaware about the student’s activity. Hence, real-time attendance records are a necessity which can be achieved by adopting a student attendance system.
RFID is one of the trendy mediums to conduct attendance within a few seconds. It saves time and effort of the educator as well as ensures real-time storage of attendance records. Furthermore, RFID requires a unique UIN number which prevents proxy attendance. Also, the attendance reports can be generated within a few clicks and can be sent to all stakeholders. MasterSoft can help in automating your attendance process with an advanced and highly secure RFID technology.
How Can MasterSoft Help You In Tracking Attendance?
Mastersoft's RF Attendance software provides a robust, secured, and automatic attendance management in educational campuses with minimum human involvement. This software has a capability to uniquely identify each student by scanning and analyzing their RFID tag/thumb impression. This functionality makes the attendance tracking process error-free, faster, and convenient when compared to traditional pen-paper methods.
RF Attendance Tracking System automates the entire attendance management by streamlining the following crucial activities -
- Student Registration & RFID Card Printing
- Automatic Student Attendance Recording
- Data Processing on Attendance Server
- Sending Daily SMS to Parents
- Weekly & Monthly Attendance Reports for Teachers
- Generating MIS Attendance Reports
Usage Of RFID Cards In The Campus
RFID ID cards issued to students and faculty members can be used to monitor attendance in:
- Computer Center
- Hostel
- Library
- Classroom
- Labs
RFID ID cards issued to students and faculty members can be used to monitor attendance in:
- For Identification, Authentication, and Attendance/Tracking at Campus Entrance Gate
- In Examination Hall
- For Identification & Authentication at Fees Collection Counter and Library
- As a cash card - in Campus Co-operative Stores, Canteen, Gym, Library fine, etc.
- For Leave Management and Attendance of Faculty, Officials, and Non-teaching Staff
Components Of RFID Student Attendance System
A Complete Radio-Frequency Identification- RF Attendance System comprises of the following hardware:
- RF-Attendance Software
- RFID Readers/Portals
- RFID ID Cards to Students
- Computers, Networking, and UPS
The RFID Card Attendance System can be implemented in all types of educational institutions including schools, colleges, and universities to derive maximum benefits for all stakeholders – students, faculty, educators, and parents.
RFID cards with unique identification information are given to students, faculty, and other staff members. The RFID readers are placed strategically across various points in the campus such as near the entrance gate, classroom door, canteen, etc. Whenever a student or staff member with an RFID card crosses near the RFID reader device, their check-in/check-out/attendance information is captured. These multiple check-points will ensure highest accuracy of information and will track every activity of the student.
To process the attendance & time information, administrators are required to connect these RFID readers to computers. The computer can be further connected to a student information system (SIS) for extracting & storing attendance data safely & sending daily attendance alerts to parents.
Features Of Biometrics & RFID Attendance Management System
1 Integration With Other ERP software
Biometric & RFID attendance systems can be integrated with LMS and SIS software which can be accessed by teachers and parents for accessing and processing the data.
2 SMS Notifications
With this software, day-to-day student activity and attendance records can be automatically sent via SMS to parents, thus they know about their ward’s presence in the campus.
3Access Control
The software offers role-based access control to authorized individuals based on their roles in the institute, thus preventing any data manipulation.
4 High Scalability
The software has the provision to scale-up as per the increasing number of enrollment and can accumulate a rising amount of data without any disturbance to the software.
5 Biometric Or RFID Recognition Time
The check-in and check-out time for each lecture and lab activity of the student is recorded in the software.
6 High Storage Capacity
The software can store tons of data with the highest security and cloud backup solutions which can be easily retrieved during emergencies.
