Tiivistelmä
Nowadays, automatized attendance systems play a huge role in our daily life when it comes to tracking employees. Companies, schools, and public services are some prime examples that take advantage of this technology. Generally, tracking systems are more reliable, accurate, and efficient when it comes to tracking working hours of employees.
The main objective of this thesis was to build a prototype of an attendance system for interns and students in the learning environment of Turku University of Applied Science, theFIRMA. The development took place into four phases. Firstly, the planning and research phase, which includes planning and researching the hardware and software that would be used, such as Raspberry Pi 4 Model microcontroller, RFID-MFRC522, I2C LCD and three different colors LEDs. Secondly, the system requirement and design phase where the system specifications were discussed and planned. Thirdly, the implementation and development phase, where the hardware is put all together and the software is running; and lastly the testing phase, in which the whole system would be tested to be verified that there is no error.
The result of this thesis was a wireless system for hours tracking where a new user can be added, and the user’s hours will be counted and saved in the database. Thus, the developed attendance system resulted in time saved for both the employee and their supervisors.
