Development of RFID-Based Attendance Solution for Kuali Agrobox Cafe

Abstract

This project introduces an innovative solution for managing employee attendance system at Kuali Agrobox Cafe, a renowned eatery in Mersing. By implementing RFID technology, the system significantly simplifies the process of recording employee attendance. The core of this system relies on the utilization of RFID cards and scanners. The hardware components include the ESP32 as the controller board and the RC522 RFID Module as the card reader. To facilitate efficient data management, a MySQL database is designed using phpMyAdmin. This database stores essential information, including employee details, RFID tag data, and attendance records. Each employee is provided with an individual RFID tag, typically in card form. To record their attendance, employees scan their RFID tags near the RFID reader, strategically placed at entry and exit points. The RFID reader captures the specific ID tag, which is then transmitted to the system for processing. The collected attendance information is processed within the system, associating it with the respective employees. Managers have access to this data through a user-friendly interface, enabling real-time monitoring, report generation, and effective attendance management tasks. This RFID-based solution revolutionizes attendance tracking at Kuali Agrobox Cafe, offering efficiency and convenience to both employers and employees. It simplifies the recording process and provides real-time access to attendance data for enhanced management capabilities.
