Desarrollo de un prototipo para control de acceso a aulas y registro de asistencia del personal docente de la FIEE

Abstract

Currently the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (FIEE in Spanish) of the National Polytechnic School does not have any type of security to control access to the classrooms. Therefore, the arbitrary entry of people cannot be controlled, which entails a danger for the infrastructure of the Faculty. Additionally, the FIEE currently manages the attendance record of the teaching staff manually, which is a cumbersome process for the teaching and administrative staff. This can cause a several problems such as non-concordance between the attendance record of the teacher and the occupation of the classroom, errors in data recording, loss of time and resources, among others.

For these reasons, a prototype that integrates software and hardware allowing the control of access to the classrooms and the registration of attendance to classes of the teaching was developed. It makes use of fingerprint readers, electromagnetic locks, a centralized server, a web service, an administration application, an Android mobile application, and databases to store the information.

This prototype seeks to: Improve efficiency in the registration process, obtain access to information instantly, speed up the generation of reports, reduce the amount of physical and human resources employed, increase the confidentiality and integrity of the information, and provide more safety to classrooms.
