The development of Student Attandance System using RFID and Internet of Things (IoT) technology

The attandance of student in the classroom is reflecting their academic performance, the Department of Informatics Engineering in the Universitas Sebelas Maret used a manual way to record student attendance. The manual way is using papers to record student attendance and lecture activities, it may suffer to human error, because attandee can manipulate their presence and the departments can't monitor them. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can be applied to identify various things, because it has unique information codes saved in a special chip called tags. RFID can be applied to developed an attendance system prototype. The term of Internet of Things (IoT) can be described as an embedded system with internet data exchange, by using this technology we can monitored and controlled the devices, also we can integrate the database. The aim of this research is to measure the data speed of the prototype of RFID attendance system, the prototype has function to stored, process, and record the student attendance in the Department of Informatics Engineering.
