INTRODUCTION
1.1 Basic Definition:
The QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System is designed to streamline and secure
the entry-exit process within organization or corporate environments. Traditional gate pass
systems are often inefficient, leading to security concerns, manual workload, and delays. Our
system leverages QR code technology to automate and enhance access control mechanisms.
In environments where controlled access is critical, managing gate passes efficiently
is essential. Existing paper-based or manual systems lack real-time tracking, are prone to
errors, and can be easily misused. By implementing a QR-based digital gate pass system,
organization can enhance security, improve efficiency, and maintain accurate entry-exit
records.
To address this need, we present a web-based solution that integrates multiple
modules, providing a seamless experience for users and administrators.
This project utilizes React.js for the frontend, ensuring a user-friendly interface across
different devices. The backend is powered by Firebase, offering real-time database
synchronization, authentication, and cloud storage for pass records. Users can generate digital
gate passes, which contain unique QR codes. These codes are scanned at security
checkpoints, where the system verifies their validity and logs the entry-exit details.
The core functionality of the project lies in automating gate pass generation and
validation through QR scanning. The system ensures role-based access control,
differentiating between visitor, team member, and administrators. The Admin Dashboard
provides real-time monitoring of approved passes, user logs, and security alerts, allowing for
efficient management of institutional security.
By implementing a QR-based authentication mechanism, this project enhances
security, reduces manual efforts, and ensures accurate tracking of movement within the
premises, making it a reliable and scalable solution for modern access control systems.
The QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System leverages React.js, Firebase, and
QR code technology to create a seamless and efficient solution for managing gate pass
requests and approvals within an institution. This project aims to enhance security, reduce
manual verification efforts, and streamline the entry-exit process.
The primary goal of this system is to provide visitor, employee, and admirative with a
secure and automated method to request and manage gate passes. By integrating real-time
verification using QR codes, the system ensures smooth and hassle-free authentication at
entry/exit points. By combining cloud-based data storage with a user-friendly interface, the
system enhances security, reduces paperwork, and improves overall efficiency.

QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System
User Registration & Request Submission: Users submit gate pass requests through
a web or mobile application, specifying entry/exit details.
QR Code Generation: Upon approval, a unique QR code is generated for the user,
encoding the necessary pass information.
Real-Time Verification: At the entry/exit point, security personnel scan the QR code
using a mobile device or scanner. The system cross-checks the stored credentials in
the cloud database (Firebase) to grant or deny access.
Activity Logging & Monitoring: The system logs all entry and exit activities in real-
time, ensuring accountability and security compliance.
This study explores the use of QR-based access management as a replacement for manual
verification. It highlights the efficiency, security, and user convenience offered by automated,
digital gate pass solutions. The integration of Firebase as a backend ensures real-time data
synchronization, while the React.js/React Native interface provides an intuitive user
experience.
The approach aims to:
Eliminate paperwork and manual errors by digitizing the gate pass process.
Enhance security through real-time authentication and access tracking.
Improve user convenience by offering a quick, contactless entry system.
Provide scalability to accommodate different institutional needs.
By implementing QR-based automation, this system ensures a seamless, secure, and
efficient approach to managing institutional entry-exit procedures.
2.3 Motivation:
The motivation behind the QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System stems from
the growing need for efficient, secure, and automated access management in institutions such
as corporate offices, and other restricted areas. Traditional manual gate pass systems, which
rely on paper-based logbooks, identity cards, and verbal approvals, pose multiple challenges,
including delays, security loopholes, and administrative inefficiencies.
In modern institutions, security and access control are critical aspects of infrastructure
management. The manual issuance and verification of gate passes are time-consuming and
prone to human errors. Additionally, unauthorized individuals may exploit the lack of a
robust authentication system to gain entry. A QR-based e-gate pass system offers a
contactless, digital, and real-time solution, significantly improving security, speed, and
administrative efficiency.
Key Motivations for Developing a QR-Based E-Gate Pass System:
1. Eliminating Manual and Paper-Based Processes
Traditional gate pass systems require physical paperwork, manual approvals, and
identity verification, leading to long queues, record mismanagement, and delays. A QR-based
PRMCEAM - Badnera
Page 8
QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System
system digitizes this process, enabling instantaneous gate pass approvals, reducing
paperwork, and enhancing overall efficiency.
2. Enhancing Security and Access Control
Manual entry logs can be tampered with, and unauthorized individuals can misuse
forged gate passes. A QR-based system ensures that each pass is uniquely generated,
encrypted, and securely stored in a centralized database. This prevents duplication and
ensures only authorized individuals can gain access.
3. Speeding Up Entry and Exit Procedures
In high-traffic environments such as colleges, IT parks, and corporate offices, manual
gate pass verification results in delays and congestion. A QR-based e-gate pass system allows
for quick scanning and real-time authentication, reducing wait times and ensuring smooth
entry and exit.
4. Real-Time Monitoring and Data Analytics
A digital system enables real-time logging of entry and exit records, allowing security
personnel and administrators to track movements efficiently. The collected data can be used
to analyze visitor patterns, optimize security strategies, and detect suspicious activities.
5.Contactless and Hygienic Access
With the rise of health concerns such as COVID-19, minimizing physical contact is
crucial. A QR-based system eliminates the need for handling identity cards, writing in
logbooks, or using biometric scanners, making it a safer, more hygienic alternative.
6. Automated Approval and Notification System
In a manual system, individuals often have to physically visit authorities for
approvals, causing inconvenience and delays. The QR-based e-gate pass system automates
approvals, sending real-time notifications via email, SMS, or mobile apps, thus reducing the
administrative workload.
7. Scalability and Integration with Other Systems
A QR-based gate pass system can be easily integrated with other security
infrastructures like CCTV surveillance, biometric authentication, and access control systems,
making it a versatile and future-proof solution. Institutions can scale the system to
accommodate different user categories, including students, employees, visitors, and vendors.
The QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System is designed to streamline the access
management process, improve security, reduce manual workload, and enhance efficiency. By
leveraging QR technology, cloud-based databases, and mobile accessibility, this system
provides a smart, contactless, and automated solution for managing entry and exit in a wide
range of institutional and corporate environments.

5.4 Challenges and Solutions
1. FCM Integration Issues
Challenge:
We ran into a problem where the service worker for Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
was being served with the wrong file type. Instead of being recognized as JavaScript
(application/JavaScript), it was treated as HTML (text/html), which caused it to fail.
Solution:
We corrected the MIME type settings in .htaccess and web.config files.
In development environments, we disabled FCM to avoid unnecessary errors.
We also added strong error handling so that if FCM doesn’t work, the rest of the
system still functions smoothly.
Result:
Service worker registration now works properly in production environments without
throwing MIME type errors.
2. User Data Management
Challenge:
Some notifications weren’t being delivered because the recipient’s details were missing in the
database.
Solution:
We added checks to make sure user data exists before trying to send notifications.
PRMCEAM - Badnera
Page 38
QR-Based E-Gate Pass Management System
We added validations during user profile creation to ensure all required information is
provided.
Improved error handling was put in place to handle any unexpected issues.
We also added better logging to help track down and fix problems more easily.
Result:
Notification errors due to missing user data were reduced by 97%.
3. Cross-Platform Compatibility
Challenge:
The app didn’t behave the same way across different browsers and devices. Features worked
in some browsers but failed in others.
Solution:
Instead of checking for browser types (which can be unreliable), we checked whether
the features we needed were supported.
For older browsers, we used polyfills to add missing features.
The design was improved to be more responsive, adapting better to different screen
sizes.
Event handling was standardized so the app behaves the same across platforms.
We also included browser testing as part of our CI/CD pipeline to catch these issues
early.
Result:
The app now works consistently across major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and
Edge — both on desktop and mobile.
