Build Nigeria 2026 · Embedded / IoT
Attendance SmartLog
A portable, battery-backed biometric terminal for fast identity verification, access logging, attendance tracking.
Built by Federation, Lagos State University
The problem
Educational institutions, businesses, and event managers waste hours on manual entry logs and paper sign-in sheets. Paper records invite proxy entries ("signing for others") lack precise time accuracy and are easily misplaced or damaged. Meanwhile, traditional digital systems go dark during power cuts or internet outages, leaving facilities with no reliable way to track arrival times, log attendance, or control access.
Who it is for
Businesses, event managers, workshop operators, and educational institutions needing instant, tamper-proof identity and time logging without grid power or internet.
Latest from the team
