IoT based Biometric Student Access Control and Attendance Management

Abstract

Abstract: The Fingerprint-Based Attendance Management System offers an innovative solution for automating attendance tracking in educational institutions. Utilizing an ATmega328 microcontroller and fingerprint sensor, the system enables efficient capture of student attendance data. Real-time feedback is provided through an LCD display, ensuring users are promptly informed of authentication status. Captured fingerprint IDs are transmitted to a cloud-based server for comparison with stored student records. Upon successful matching, attendance is marked, and SMS notifications are sent to parents, enhancing communication and transparency. Additionally, a teacher management interface within the cloud system allows for recording student internal marks and managing attendance records. The system prioritizes security, reliability, and accuracy to maintain the integrity of attendance data. By streamlining attendance tracking processes and improving communication between schools and parents, the system contributes to enhanced efficiency and accountability in educational institutions.
