DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF AN AUTOMATIC CHANGE OVER SWITCH WITH OPTION OF GSM-BASED REMOTE CONTROL USING GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE (GUI)

Abstract

This project provides the design method of a smart attendance system using wireless technology. A smart
attendance register helps organizations and institutions keep track of students or workers attendance to lectures or work
in an easy and effective manner. The project comprises two major processes viz; the Registration and Verification
processes. The main component used in this project was a wireless fingerprint device. A My Structured Query Language
(MySQL) Database was developed with extended graphic user interface using Microsoft visual studio 2015 to store
student information, view and analyze student attendance. The result shows that this automated attendance system has
advantages over other automated attendance systems because it more effective and efficient to use since the finger print
module can be passed around for finger prints to be scanned instead of students having to queue-up to take attendance. It
is also very cost effective to produce as the components are very few and easily affordable.
