Efficient staff attendance management is a pivotal aspect of organizational success. The detrimental impact of poor staff attendance underscores the need for effective attendance monitoring methods. Automated approaches have emerged as solutions to mitigate the challenges associated with manual attendance tracking. From traditional paper-based methods to advanced technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID) and biometrics, the evolution of attendance monitoring techniques has significantly enhanced operational efficiency. Biometric-based attendance systems, leveraging unique physiological and behavioral attributes, have gained prominence due to their accuracy and security features. This study presents the development of an innovative electronic gate system employing facial recognition technology to regulate access and monitor staff attendance within organizational contexts. Facial recognition technology offers a balance between accuracy and privacy concerns, rendering it an ideal choice for identity verification applications.
