Company attendance and access control system based on radio frequency identification

Abstract

one of the popular things among succeeded companies is an automated system. The reasons behind using the automated system are to reduce human errors, work and to gain efficiency. The design focused on building an automated system for access control and attendance monitoring by the use of RFID technology. all the companies that still doing mural attendance will get a great help when it used the proposed system. this paper used RFID (tags, reader), microcontroller to collect data, ZigBee technology for transmitting and receiving data wirelessly, computer as a control station. the program at control station was written by using Visual C# and connect with database (DB) MSSQL server to store employees’ numbers (RFID tags) and used for attendance calculations. The initial results of the proposed system appear a high profit in time-saving and cost when compared with traditional systems. cost divided into two parts, firstly: a price of ZigBee device, secondly: security men
