Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols for communication between two electronic devices at a distance of 4 cm or less. NFC can be defined as a contactless technology used to exchange data over short distances, where the concept of NFC is used as secure cards and ID cards as employee IDs. NFC-enabled mobile phone can be placed on an NFC-enabled ID device to log in and out of the company. The project is based on the integration of NFC and IOT and the creation of a system that combines the use of microcontrollers that can track the progress of employees, whether in times of attendance, departure, or in performance. The system will use the Blynk application that will create a file containing all employee data such as name, ID, mobile number, login time and checkout time. The system will also include a camera to monitor that the employee himself is the one checking in and out and not giving his NFC card to a colleague to log in on his behalf. The system will also send an email notification to the employer whenever anyone logs in or out.
