BIOMETRIC ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

Introduction:

The Biometric Attendance System is an innovative solution aimed at automating attendance


management processes. Leveraging biometric technology, it offers a secure and efficient way
to record employee attendance, reducing manual errors and enhancing overall productivity.

Existing System:

Traditional attendance systems rely on manual methods such as paper registers or swipe
cards, prone to inaccuracies and time-consuming processes, leading to inefficiencies in
attendance tracking and management.

Proposed System:

Our proposed system integrates biometric recognition technology, providing a more reliable
and convenient method for recording employee attendance. By utilizing unique biological
traits such as fingerprints or facial features, it ensures accurate and tamper-proof attendance
data.

Devices Description:

1. Biometric Scanner: Captures biometric data.


2. Microcontroller: Processes and stores attendance records.
3. Display Unit: Shows attendance status.
4. Ethernet Module: Enables connectivity for data transmission.
5. Power Supply: Provides necessary power to the system.

Components Description:

1. Biometric Scanner: High-resolution optical sensor.


2. Microcontroller: Arduino Uno with ATmega328P.
3. Display Unit: LCD screen with backlight.
4. Ethernet Module: Wiznet W5100.
5. Power Supply: 5V DC adapter.

Specifications:

1. Biometric Scanner: Resolution: 500 DPI.


2. Microcontroller: Clock Speed: 16 MHz.
3. Display Unit: 16x2 character LCD.
4. Ethernet Module: Data Rate: 10/100 Mbps.
5. Power Supply: Output Voltage: 5V DC, Current: 1A.
Applications:

1. Corporate Offices: Streamlines employee attendance tracking.


2. Educational Institutions: Facilitates student attendance management.
3. Government Organizations: Enhances security and accountability.
4. Healthcare Facilities: Ensures accurate staff attendance records for payroll and
compliance purposes.

Future Scope:

1. Integration with Mobile Apps: Enable employees to mark attendance remotely.


2. Advanced Analytics: Generate insights from attendance data for better decision-
making.
3. Integration with Access Control Systems: Enhance security by linking attendance
with access permissions.
4. IoT Integration: Connect with other IoT devices for broader workplace automation.
