LIST OF TABLES
1.1 Introduction
RFID hostel systems is a software develop system of managing the hostel activities
which is can help warden to controls the using of lighting in every room. This project
also can help the warden to manage their allotting record such as can block by tap the
RFID card and automatically the light will be switch off. Every use of light will be
fully controlled by warden. Then, this system will also help in educate students in
following hostel rules that have been provided. RFID Hostel Management System is
using passive RFID component. The part of electronics, we are use RFID reader, LCD
display, Arduino UNO, RF Transceiver relay 4 channel, and RFID card. This concept
is done by manually touch the RFID cards to the RFID reader and the light will on or
off. The LCD will display either the light system is on or off.
• Problem for hostel warden that need to go to every students block in the
middle of night for close every lamps for students to sleep.
• It will save warden time and energy because they can control hostel light just
from their room / office / house.

1.3 Project Objective
There are several objectives that have been identified in the development of this
project. The objectives are;
• To design a model that how RFID work that can control lights just touch an
RFID card to the reader.
• To build a display that show which room that the light will turn on based on
the RFID card read on the code.
• To build the circuit and coding requirement to make RFID system work
successfully.
In this study, several scopes and limitations of the project have been identified
namely:
• It because, students need to sleep at 11am so, as the warden no longer need to
walk to go student’s block to switch off the light.
• The main component that used to build this project is Arduino Uno, RFID
Reader, RF Transceiver, Relay and LCD display.
• The RFID transmit can reach to RF transceiver in about 5 meter away before
the connection may be interrupted.

1.5 Usability and Significance of Project
The usability of the project is the ease of use and learnability of the project by the user
which is for hostel warden. It can focus on the target group, and to what extent that the
warden can use the project. Warden no need to walk far away to go every students
block just to switch OFF the lights for them because they now can just use an RFID
system to do it.
• It will save the hostel warden time because they no longer need to go
every room by room to switch off lights in the night.
• Therefore, it will save warden energy and got extra time to do another
work while they can switch off/on lights from their room.
• RFID systems offers a fast and reliable way to track them without having to count
each individual item. With RFID applications you can immediately see how many
items you have of any one type and their location or what stage they are at in the
process.
• Furthermore, it also has benefits for student which is they can sleep early and go
to class without tired for sleeping late at night.

collection, improved inventory management, enhanced security, streamlined logistics,
enhanced customer experience, seamless integration, and scalability. By leveraging
RFID, you can optimize processes, increase efficiency, and gain valuable insights,
ultimately leading to improved operational effectiveness and better business
outcomes.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
The literature study in this chapter's part looks at the project's conceptual
underpinnings as well as the rigorous process that went into its development. A
product documentation for the project will be created using the findings from this
literature review.
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a technology that uses radio
waves to wirelessly identify and track objects or individuals. The basic components of
an RFID system include RFID tags, RFID readers, and a backend system for data
processing and analysis.
RFID tags, also known as transponders or smart labels, are small electronic devices
that consist of an integrated circuit (IC) and an antenna. These tags can be attached or
embedded into objects or carried by individuals. They store and transmit information
when exposed to radio frequency signals from an RFID reader.
When an RFID tag comes into the range of an RFID reader, the reader sends out a
radio signal that powers up the tag. The tag then responds by transmitting its unique
12
identification code and any additional data stored on the tag's memory. The reader
captures this information and sends it to the backend system for processing. The data
can be used for various purposes, such as inventory management, asset tracking,
access control, authentication, and more.

hardware is also available.
RFID Reader
RF Transceiver
RF transceivers are devices or modules that contain both a transmitter (Tx) and a
receiver (Rx). Tx and Rx elements usually share functionality including antenna
interface, low pass filtering, Rx/Tx switching and associated control circuits.(9)
22
Relay
The 4 Channel Relay Module is a convenient board which can be used to control high
voltage, high current load such as motor, solenoid valves, lamps and AC load. It is
designed to interface with microcontroller such as Arduino, PIC and etc.
LCD Display
The term LCD stands for liquid crystal display. It is one kind of electronic display
module used in an extensive range of applications like various circuits & devices like
mobile phones, calculators, computers, TV sets, etc. These displays are mainly
preferred for multi-segment light-emitting diodes and seven segments. The main
23
benefits of using this module are inexpensive; simply programmable, animations, and
there are no limitations for displaying custom characters, special and even animations,
etc.(10)
3.5 Technical Resources (Software)
The project that will be developed uses Arduino Uno as a microcontroller. This
Arduino Uno works with an embedded software program that will be developed based
on the instructions that meet the circuit's operational objectives. In general, there is
one main software to complete this project namely:
i. Arduino IDE
Figure 3.9 shows an Arduino UNO software called Arduino IDE. The software uses C
and C++ are the programming languages which is standard across all of Arduino
boards and can be used either online or offline. It includes a code editor with features
such as text cutting and pasting, searching and replacing text, automatic indenting,
brace matching, and syntax highlighting, and provides simple one-click mechanisms
to compile and upload programs to an Arduino board. The source code for the IDE is
released under the GNU General Public License, version 2 User-written code only
requires two basic functions, for starting the sketch and the main program loop, that
are compiled and linked with a program stub main () into an executable cyclic
executive program with the GNU toolchain, also included with the IDE distribution.
24
The Arduino IDE employs the program avrdude to convert the executable code into a
text file in hexadecimal encoding that is loaded into the Arduino board by a loader
program in theboard’s firmware.(8)
In this chapter, several methods have been clearly explained starting from the initial
design process based on an overview sketch of the innovation product to the
information related to the hardware and software used to produce this project. Among
the other processes involved are the production process of the block diagram of the
project, functional flow chart of the project, the complete schematic circuit of the
project and a complete and brief description of the main components used to complete
this project.

CHAPTER 4
4.1 Introduction
Project management and the cost of managing the project is one of the important
processes that will be/will go through during the completion of this project. It is very
important to provide an orderly and organized framework based on the proposed
mileage chart to be achieved according to the weeks of lecture learning. It can
indirectly help streamline work results that are more effective in reference to the
objectives of the project that has been produced. Entrepreneurial elements are also
applied to ensure that the project produced has commercial value that can be marketed
by looking at the risks of loss that may arise and the necessary steps to overcome
them.
26
4.2 Managerial
Table 4.1 show the planning and implementation Gantt charts for the courses
DEE40082 Project 1 that have been done throughout the completion of this innovation
project. Proposals for the activities found on this Gantt chart have been drawn up by
the institution under the portfolio management of the Unit Projek Pelajar JKE PMM,
27
while
for the rest implementation of the activities has been done jointly by the project
supervisor.
4.3 Cost Estimation and Financial Resources
The financial resources to complete this project are fully funded from my own
financial resources. Expenses related to the purchase of electrical components,
external hardware, spare parts and other costs that will be incurred during the
implementation of this project will be explained. Most of these items will be
purchased online at Shopee stores as well as at nearby electronic or electrical stores.
Cost comparisons have also been done online by referring to websites that sell similar
equipment, especially electronic components such as the GI Electronic store. This
project aims to cost no more than RM500.00 including incidental costs such as vehicle
use and delivery costs.(7)

4.4 Entrepreneurial Opportunity
The innovative products produced are specifically developed for the use of hostel’s
warden to switch OFF every light for student. In addition to being used for hostel’s
warden, it can also be used for head of department in school organization. Therefore,
this system is very capable of helping the users for the purpose of doing their job. If
you want to compare this innovative product with other advanced technologies such as
GPS satellite-based and satellite phones, the developed system are much cheaper. If
this innovative product is developed with a large amount of scale like factory
production, of course the value will be drop to 50% cheaper. Besides the reasonable
cost, this product has commercial value because it is compact, and simple to operate.
(5)
Apart from the planning and management of project activities, every aspect of the
production cost used to complete this project has been detailed in this chapter. This
chapter is important in giving confidence to users about the importance of innovation
produced. Therefore, every cost has been well researched especially from the aspect of
quality and durability by maintaining a viable price. The manufacturing cost is also
important which is part of the factors that affect the achievement of the objective of
the project to be implemented.
