Design of Portable Fingerprint System Prototype for Student Presence Integrated with Academic Information System at the Universitas Sumatera Utara

Abstract

University Sumatra Utara (USU) has an Academic Information System to record all academic transactions from students digitally including student attendance data. Attendance recording is still entered manually into the system from the presence system that uses paper media. In this research a prototype attendance system is carried out that can be directly entered into the system without using paper media. Attendance system is built by using Arduino to read and collect attendance data from the fingerprint sensor. Furthermore, an application is developed to synchronize the data from Arduino to the Academic Information System of USU. From the test result, it is obtained that the accuracy and the sensitivity of the sensor is 90%.
