An Automated Students Attendance System with SMS Notification

This study aims to develop an automated student attendance system that integrates RFID authentication with SMS notifications sent to respective parents or guardians, ensuring improved monitoring of student attendance. The system employs an Arduino Uno, RC522 RFID scanner, and SIM800L GSM module to capture attendance, store data, and send notifications. The RFID scanner records attendance, and the GSM module sends real-time SMS alerts. The system demonstrates high accuracy in attendance logging, quick SMS delivery, and ease of access control. It improves parental awareness regarding student attendance and reduces manual tracking efforts. The system enhances traditional attendance methods by incorporating RFID authentication and real-time SMS notifications, making it a reliable solution for educational institutions.
