This project named “RFID BASED ATTENDANCE SYSTEM” is based on RFID as the name suggests. Here, our aim is to make a note of every employee entering the office and also to calculate the amount of time person resides in the office. Earlier, company used to enter the data in register and it was bit clumsy.Then it thought of going for barcode but barcode was not that much durable. Barcode requires continuous line of sight, low data capacity, cannot be rewritten etc due to this problems barcode cannot be used. So RFID is the perfect solution for this. It is quite easy to work with. Tags con be reconfigured if read/write tags are used. Range can be improved by using high frequency reader. It can also add security. By programming many other facilities can be added. Thus due to these advantages of RFID we have used it for attendance system
