ABSTRACT: There has been rising demand for securesystem that must be dependable and quick respond for the industries and company. RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) is one of the consistent and fast means of identify the material object. In the long-ago the barcode’s are more preferable as compared to
RFID because of their cost but now a day’s RFID are easily available and are more convenient to use. Research has made some drastic changes which makes its
programming a lot shorter and easier is because of replacing microcontroller with arduino. Arduino makes the circuit and programming a lot easier to understand.
Paper is based upon security access using RFID and Arduino module.

Keywords: EM-18 Reader Module, RFID tags, Arduino UNO ATmega 328 board.

identification (RFID) technology. Initially RFID tags were
made to eventually replace barcodes in different chains.
Their advantages are that they can be read wirelessly and
with no line of sight, contain more data than barcodes, and
are stronger. As the paper describes the recent technology,
include the frequency ranges used and standards required.
With the increase in ubiquity of RFID tags, however, privacy

EM 18 reader: We had usedEM-18 RFID reader module

which operates at 125kHz. The module comes with an on-
chip antenna and can be powered with a 5V power
supply. The transmit

pin of the module is connected to receive pin of Arduino

UNO board. It basic use is to provide authorize access as
this module can only provide access when we are having
an access card or tag if there is any unauthorized people
try to break the security system then this would make the
system trigger the alarm.

If uploading is doing well, you will see the glowing of LED.

It means the system is prepared to read the tag. Now, bring
the tag near to RFID reader. If tag ID matches with the ID in
the code, lock will open for five seconds. It closes manually
after five seconds. Glowing of LED indicate that the lock is
open. Glowing of caution LED means that you are using the
wrong tag.

Relay: We are using 12 volt relay. Relay driver circuit is
used to turn on the relay. Using this relay user can control
any AC or DC device.

Buzzer: We are using piezoelectric buzzer. This is a

warning / indication that invalid attempt is done to gain
access to system.

DC motor: It will be used to show demonstration of door or

gate opening.

LCD Display: 16 by 2 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) will be

used in this project. It displays on 2 lines each containing 16
characters. LCD display has total 16 pins for interface with FLOW CHART OF THE SYSTEM:
processor. RS is instruction or data select line. This pin is
kept high or low by microcontroller to indicate command
instruction or data bytes on data bus db0-db7. Special
feature of this LCD module is it allows reading of data
bytes stored in RAM. Pin no. 5 i.e. R/W is used for deciding
read operation or write operation. Graphic display has
RAM memory for storing characters codes to be displayed
on LCD.

III. WORKING AND RESULT

When RFID tag placed on the RFID reader as it read the

data and through reader its code send to the controller
which access with the controller match and receives code

trend in upcoming years due to the boost in the ecommerce
industry.

IV. CONCLUSION
IJSER
RFID based security and access control system is more
secure and fast responded as compared to the other system
like biometric. The advantage of the RFID system is
contact-less and works without-line-of-sight. By using
arduino it is easy to access and works very quickly while VI. References

easier to use and accurate also. Hence this project can be
useful for implementation of access control application for www.slideshare.com
tracking system as well as providing the security benefits. www.microtronics.com
This project can improve by raising the range of reader in
which the tag read. www.ijeee-apm.com

V. FUTURE SCOPE
It depends upon how original one could be to enhance the
use of this project. But for us this project is practical for
future uses such as Smart cart can be interfaced with
wireless technologies to make it completely portable in the
near future. Payment of bills using mobile can be
implemented. A low cost RFID scanner can be
manufactured and used which can scan multiple tags
(products) simultaneously for faster processing and lesser
resources. Automatic scanning & availability of products
