Attendance management system with a fingerprint sensor using Arduino Uno

Abstract

This science investigatory project aimed to produce an attendance management system with a fingerprint sensor using Arduino Uno. The goal was to benefit schools, organizations, and workplaces, particularly teachers and monitors, by creating a product that would reduce the time teachers and class monitors spend monitoring attendance. The results were obtained using descriptive statistics that determined the effectiveness of the attendance management system with a fingerprint sensor using Arduino Uno in terms of accuracy, convenience, and efficiency. The study's findings revealed that the product saves information accurately, provides convenience for class monitors and teachers, and is efficient when checking attendance. Moreover, the result shows a significant difference between the attendance management system Arduino Uno and manual checking regarding its speed of taking attendance. The attendance management system is user-friendly based on the ability to recognize fingerprints easily, enrollment of fingerprints, and the effectiveness of signals from the LED and LCD. The Attendance Management System with a fingerprint sensor using an Arduino Uno proved more efficient than the manual attendance checking method. The researchers recommend using a much more advanced product like the Arduino Wi-Fi MKR1010 as an alternative to the Arduino Uno. For the fingerprint sensor, the researchers recommend using the Fingerprint R307 rather than the Fingerprint AS608 for a less sensitive one. The researchers suggest programming the system more complexly to produce a more detailed system.
