Abstract / Introduction

In educational institutions, managing class attendance manually is time-consuming and prone to

Errors. To address this issue, we propose the development of an IoT-based Class Attendance
System

Using Arduino and a fingerprint attendance mechanism. This system will automate the
attendance

Process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, it will feature a database managed
locally

And remotely for easy access and monitoring.

Objectives

• Develop a reliable and efficient attendance system using IoT technology.

• Implement a fingerprint attendance mechanism for secure and accurate identification of

Students.

• Create a local database to store attendance records for immediate access and monitoring.
• Establish remote database management capabilities for administrators and faculty members.

• Design a user-friendly interface for administrators and faculty members to manage attendance

Records.

Methodology

• Hardware Setup: Utilize Arduino microcontrollers and fingerprint sensors to capture attendance

Data.

• Software Development: Develop Arduino firmware to interface with the fingerprint sensor and

Transmit data to the database. Create database management software for local and remote

Access using suitable technologies (e.g., MySQL, Firebase).

• Integration: Integrate hardware components with the software system to ensure seamless

Operation.

• Testing and Validation: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the system’s reliability, accuracy,
and

Security. Validate the system’s performance in real-world classroom environments.

Components

• Arduino Microcontroller: Responsible for interfacing with the fingerprint sensor and
transmitting

Data to the database.

• Fingerprint Sensor: Used for biometric identification of students during attendance marking.

• Database: Consists of local and remote databases for storing attendance records.

• User Interface: Provides administrators and faculty members with access to attendance data and

Management functionalities.

Following will be the salient features and functional requirements of the proposed system:

• Biometric Identification: Utilize fingerprint or facial recognition technology for accurate

Identification.

• Web Interface: Develop a responsive and intuitive web interface accessible from desktop and
