In a typical SAMS setup there is a biometric device installed outside each class
room. These devices are connected with the SAMS server housed in the school.
Each day the students will register their attendance with the biometric device. The
SAMS server will download the attendance data at a pre-set time. It will process the
attendance and send a set SMS message to the parents/guardians of the absentee
student via SAMS SMS gateway server. The message template can be set by the
school authorities to their liking.
The system also allows school authorities to send SMS alerts to parents/guardians
regarding special events and emergencies.

this data can be transferred to the schools SAMS server via WIFI or GPRS.
SAMS also includes an optional MEAL monitoring solution. This module helps the
school to monitor the number of students who are using the on-campus meal
