RADIO FREQUENCY AND NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION TURNSTILE GATE WITH LOGGING SYSTEM AND LOCAL DATABASE FOR OUR LADY OF LOURDES TECHNOLOGICAL COLLEGE INC.

Abstract

This study examines turnstile gates that are connected to local databases and logging systems, utilizing RFID and NFC technologies. These gates are designed to control entry and exit points, allowing only one person to pass through at a time and can be configured in various ways. Our research aims to improve the security measures of our client's facility. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) are particularly beneficial for protecting our client's organization. RFID uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to items, enabling the use of cards or chips as access keys for locking systems. Similarly, Near Field Communication (NFC) operates in a way that is comparable to RFID. The researchers utilized the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) framework to set objectives, identify challenges, develop plans, and monitor progress. They devised strategies, analyzed client data, and designed an automated solution specifically for their client. Furthermore, they conducted seminars for potential users, evaluated the system for defects and errors, and maintained the output to ensure its effective functioning. The SDLC waterfall model was employed to support the successful and efficient implementation of the project. The advocates have crafted a solution for the client's problem by installing a turnstile gate that utilizes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, complemented by a thorough logging system for their educational institution. They are pleased that the researchers have successfully tackled the security issues within the facility. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology utilizes electromagnetic fields to enhance the interaction between tags and readers. RFID turnstile gates use radio waves to establish a seamless connection between the reader and the scanned credentials. Access control companies have recognized the significant benefits of RFID technology, particularly its wireless features and versatility, which surpass those of traditional lock-and-key systems. This technological innovation has revolutionized access control systems, offering a more dynamic and efficient approach to security and authentication. The wireless data transmission capabilities of RFID have significantly increased the convenience and effectiveness of access control systems by streamlining the identification process and allowing for real-time access monitoring.
