AN2067: Attendance Register System

The project is meant to revolutionarize the way the attendance is recorded and maintained in an office or an educational institute. The project provides user with an entirely automated system, which works right from the time the attendance, is marked and stored in an EEPROM memory to when the attendance is downloaded from EEPROM to PC. Each student/employee is assigned a card on which the students’ roll number (employee’s enrolment number) will be stored in the form of bar codes. At the time of attendance the student is required to swipe his/her card to the bar code reader. This information along with the time stamp is stored in EEPROM memory. Periodically the system is connected to the PC to download the data from EEPROM to PC i.e. to the databases maintained in the software section. The software part provides the user various utilities to work on the attendance data downloaded. It is the password-protected system, which can take the back up the existing database and restore them. E-mail facility to report the status of attendance is provided. The software can be easily customized according to the need of the user.
