RFID wristbands have become part of our life for good, but very few users realize how many functions they can perform. Let's have a closer look at this issue. We really have something to surprise you.
1. Access pass
An RFID wristband can replace a standard access pass. RFID wristbands are generally used in business offices, night clubs, water parks, fitness clubs, gyms, etc. Just tap your ID wristband on the reader or turnstile and come in. The time of arrival and time of departure is automatically recorded in the database. Such passes cannot be forged or copied as they are protected by cryptographic security keys. Besides, you can program the time period during which the access is permitted.
RFID wristbands are very convenient. They do not slip or pinch, or cause any discomfort. You will never have to look for your pass. You will definitely not leave it at home or drop it during an intense workout.
2. Membership card
The contactless wristband can become a multi-year membership card. It can be wrapped around your wrist and fixed securely. When you come to a training session or workout, tap your RFID wristband on the reader at the gym entrance– if your membership is active, you may come in. However, if your membership has expired or is temporarily suspended, you will be denied access to the gym. This is a very convenient system that prevents violations by clients. Besides, it completely eliminates the human factor. Noone will be admitted without a valid membership or access pass.
You can also always find out how many remaining days of membership the client has. For this, tap the client's RFID wristband on the reader. The data will be displayed on the PC.
3. E-wallet
Use your RFID wristband to pay for drinks and meals at the cafe, or pay for the rented equipment. Non-cash payments are especially convenient in water parks, swimming pools and various SPAs. You do not need to carry cash or bank cards with you. Just tap your RFID wristband on the reader, and the system will credit the purchased goods or services to your account. You will pay the total sum (either in cash or by credit card) when you leave the place. Otherwise, you can deposit money into a deposit account in advance, and spend it as you wish.
Thus, customers and visitors can safely pay for purchases without fear of losing their cash or bank cards. Besides, this payment system is more profitable, because it is convenient and smart, and your visitors will spend more.
4. Master key
RFID wristband can be used as a master key for all doors. It can open:
- a locker door;
- a turnstile;
- parking gate;
- doors to restricted areas.
Just tap your wristband on the turnstile, electronic lock or gate to get it open. If access is denied for the client, then he/she will not be able to open anything with the RFID wristband. Besides, the system will register and display all unauthorized attempts.
