RFID-Based Intelligent Access Control and Monitoring System

Abstract

This paper describes the conceptualization and deployment of a smart, RFID-driven security and personnel monitoring framework built upon Internet of Things (IoT) principles. The primary objective is to bolster organizational security through instantaneous identity verification, controlled entry management, and continuous individual tracking via RFID-enabled cards. The architecture merges physical hardware — consisting of RFID scanning units and embedded microcontrollers — with a software layer built on the Flask web framework and an SQLite relational database. Notable capabilities include detection of blacklisted individuals, multi-gate surveillance, automated alarm activation, and a centralized administrator interface for data visualization.
