With Faculty Unlock & ERP Sync
Manual attendance processes are prone to errors and consume significant time.
Vulnerability to proxy attendance, where students mark attendance for their peers.
Absence of faculty control and limited capabilities for hourly attendance tracking.
High costs associated with ERP and biometric systems, especially for smaller colleges.
Poor integration with existing portals and system failures in offline scenarios.
Implementation of an NFC-based system for accurate student attendance tracking.
Faculty verification via NFC tap to unlock the attendance system, preventing unauthorized access.
Precise hour-wise attendance tracking linked directly to the academic timetable.
Seamless local and cloud synchronization with ERP systems or student portals.
Optional SMS/alerts to parents for enhanced communication and transparency.
Ensuring only authorized faculty can initiate the attendance process.
Simple and efficient attendance marking with NFC tap functionality.
System operates offline with data synchronized to the cloud when connectivity is restored.
Detailed logs categorized by subject and time slot for comprehensive tracking.
Designed for seamless integration with existing ERP systems via API.
Students tap their NFC cards on the reader to mark attendance.
The Python application processes the NFC data and manages the system logic.
Attendance data is stored locally in a SQLite database.
Data is synchronized with the ERP/Portal via API for centralized management.
Faculty authentication via NFC tap to unlock student scanning functionality.
India has over 50,000 colleges representing a significant market opportunity.
Only 10% of colleges currently utilize smart attendance systems.
Most existing systems are either manual or prohibitively expensive.
Our system offers offline functionality, ERP synchronization, and faculty-controlled access.
Ideal for schools, colleges, hostels, and labs seeking affordable and efficient attendance solutions.
