Abstract— Manual attendance systems are time-consuming, error-prone, and vulnerable to proxy attendance. These limitations reduce operational efficiency and affect data reliability in educational institutions and organizations. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes an automated RFID-based attendance system integrated with GPS-based monitoring. The system uses RFID cards for fast and accurate identification of users, while the GPS module records the last known location during attendance marking. The ESP-32 microcontroller processes data from RFID and GPS modules and transmits it to a cloud server through Wi-Fi or GSM communication.
The proposed method eliminates manual errors, prevents proxy attendance, and enables real-time monitoring through a cloud- based dashboard. Experimental implementation shows improved accuracy, reduced attendance marking time, and secure digital record storage. The system is scalable and suitable for schools, universities, offices, industries, and examination centers. Future enhancements include biometric authentication and geo-fencing for improved security and reliability.
