Integrated Attendance System using NFC Technology

This research aims to design and develop prototype for an integrated attendance system for University classes in this case the Universitas Klabat (Unklab) is chosen are the object of our research. The technology that we adopt is the Near Field Communication (NFC) wireless technology which enables the transfer of data and information between adjacent devices. The main reason we choose this technology is because most of the smart devices such smartphone and etcetera are being supported by NFC, hence any plugging device for RFID reader are no longer being needed since the NFC technology is being provided. This designed system is expected to aid and simply the complexity of the process for checking the student attendance in every classes so that the process will be more accurately, efficiently, and can reduce the risk of doing cheating or any kind of unwanted actions performed by the students against their classes absences. This research was conducted using the Prototype Process Model as the research method. The programming technology that we use are the Java Script, HTML, and CSS, as the programming language. To support the data collection we adopt the Firebase technology as for cloud computing database. The result of our research is the integrated attendance system using NFC that can be used by lecturers in a University.
