Abstract

In the 21st century, rapid technological advancements have permeated various aspects of our lives, emphasizing safety and efficiency. This project proposes an automatic attendance system tailored for UTeM Mosque, leveraging RFID and biometric fingerprint technology, powered by the ESP32 microcontroller. Traditional pen-and-paper systems have become unreliable and challenging to maintain, prompting the need for a modern solution to meet UTeM Mosque's attendance monitoring needs. The existing manual attendance system presents challenges such as long queues, the risk of data misplacement, and unnecessary time consumption. To address these issues, our project aims to construct a reliable and user-friendly attendance system. The integration of RFID tags and biometric fingerprint recognition enhances security and accuracy, aligning with the technological advancements of the 21st century. The main objectives of the project include developing the attendance system, integrating it with Google Sheets for electronic record-keeping, and testing its accuracy and efficiency at UTeM Mosque. The implementation showcases a successful fusion of hardware, software, and attendance management, providing a comprehensive solution for tracking attendance during congregational prayers. The attendance system captures vital information, including attendees' names, matriculation numbers, and timestamps, securely stored in Google Sheets for reliable record-keeping and future analysis. Real-time feedback through an LCD displayer and an audible signal from a buzzer enhances the user experience and reduces uncertainties. Overall, this project demonstrates the effective utilization of RFID and fingerprint technology, supported by the ESP32 microcontroller, to enhance attendance management at UTeM Mosque. The system streamlines operations, reduces manual effort, and contributes to effective attendance management, ensuring a smooth and organized congregational prayer experience for all attendees. The successful integration of hardware, software, and Google Sheets highlights the commitment to leveraging technology for the improvement of mosque operations.
