School Attendance Control System Based on RFID Technology with Raspberry Pi and Arduino: EDURFID

Abstract: This paper presents EDURFID, an automated school attendance control system based on RFID technology designed for rural educational institutions in Peru. The system integrates open-source hardware (Raspberry Pi 5, Arduino UNO R3) with RC522 RFID modules operating at 13.56 MHz, implementing a web architecture developed in Python Django. The system demonstrates 100% precision in RFID readings with 0.03-second response time, achieving 94% cost reduction compared to commercial solutions. Validation at T\'upac Amaru Secondary Educational Institution showed successful automation of attendance processes, saving 50 daily minutes of administrative time while providing real-time reporting capabilities.
