QR Code Attendance System

Nowadays the use of smartphones can make everyone's life simple and easy. In line with the technological advances, this paper proposed smartphones based QR codes to record the presence staff of Electrical Engineering Department. The proposed system used QR code to identify individuals working in the department and smartphone as a QR code mobile scanner. Each staff card of Electrical Engineering Department will be equipped with a unique QR code. The interface of QR code mobile application scanner designed based on a real-time scanner using MIT Apps Inventor software. The integration of Google Apps Script applications and the Android Barcode Scanner enables mobile application scanners function as real scanners and work well with the database. The QR code mobile application scanner has two main buttons: The In Time button to record start-up working time and the Out Time button to record time out of office. Employees need to press the In Time or Out Time buttons before scanning the QR code to the scanner. The system automatically verifies the QR code with the data in the database. If the data is match, it will automatically record the time In or time Out of staff in the system and appear to the scanner screen. The developed QR Code Attendance System is very practical as its portable scanners and database systems are also accessible online by management. An accurate report based on the staff attendance also can generated quickly by using Google Sheets. Therefore, the staff attendance monitoring system will be more effective and easier to control
