Analysis and web based automation student attendance model using radio frequency identification (RFID) at private vocational high school in Jakarta

Abstract

The Objective of this research is to build a web-based attendance system using Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID). Student identification cards fitted with RFID chips will be utilized to replace the manual attendance system at a private vocational high school. The benefits of this system are many and include the following: (1) A reduction in the need to print paper time-sheets along with the resultant time and cost this process requires. (2)Negating the need for collection and collation of time-sheets along with the time and and costs this incurs, as well as the costs for any subsequent storage of such sheets (3) Reduce human errors in filling out of time-sheets as as well as errors which may occur during collation or, in communication associated from any absenteeism. (4) To provide valuable data and information resource which can be quickly and easily accessed by staff. (5) To provide a real-time information resource to parents about the presence, or not, of their children in school. (6) To minimize fraud and to additionally train students to be honest in recording their presence in class. (7) To provide important real-time information to any relevant authority on the exact numbers and identities of the students in the school in the event of any emergency situation. The Development method used in this study is the Waterfall Software Development Life Cycle system and also uses three stages of Analysis which consists of the stages of analyzing system weaknesses, analyzing system requirements, and analyzing information needs. The Result of this study showed that the system could store 50 cards data of attendance and operate 8 hours non-stop with a distance between card and reader of 3 cm, with the limitation of delay time for about 15 minutes.
