An Implementation of RFID-Enabled ID Cards in the Education Sector to Optimize and Facilitate the Use of Student Cards
摘要
This chapter proposes the implementation of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to enhance various aspects of campus life at Albukhary International University (AIU). The integration of RFID tags in student ID cards forms the basis for an automated attendance and information system, access control to university facilities, library management, a cashless payment system, and a hostel power-switching card system. The RFID-enabled ID cards, equipped with unique identifiers, facilitate seamless interaction with RFID readers strategically placed in classrooms, libraries, and other key areas. The system not only automates attendance tracking but also provides real-time data for comprehensive reports and analytics. Additionally, RFID tags are employed to streamline access to university facilities, manage library resources efficiently, enable cashless transactions, and enhance energy efficiency in hostels. While the implementation offers numerous benefits, the chapter acknowledges potential drawbacks such as installation costs, maintenance requirements, and security concerns. The proposed RFID-based system promises to revolutionize campus operations, offering improved security, convenience, and operational efficiency.
