        abstract = {This paper presents the design and implementation of an advanced RFID-based automation on/off system intended to provide secure, contactless, and efficient control of electrical loads in residential and industrial environments. Conventional switching systems often suffer from unauthorized access, mechanical wear, hygiene limitations, and lack of intelligent control. To overcome these challenges, the proposed system employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology integrated with a microcontroller-based relay control mechanism. A pre-authorized RFID tag operates the system using a one-time scan activation principle, where the first valid scan turns the connected load ON and the next valid scan turns it OFF. The system incorporates an Arduino UNO controller, MFRC522 RFID reader, relay module, LCD dis-play, buzzer, and visual indicators for reliable operation and user feedback. Experimental results confirmed accurate tag recognition, rapid response, secure rejection of unauthorized users, and stable switching performance. Owing to its low cost, scalability, and ease of implementation, the proposed system is highly suitable for smart homes, industrial machine authorization, energy management, and modern automation safety applications.},
