Two water parks in Ohio, USA, Fort Rapids
Indoor Water Park (located in Colombia) and Great Wolf Lodge (located in
Madison), have both applied RFID technology. With the help of the RFID system,
tourists can use RFID wristbands (also known as watch straps) to pay for
expenses related to consumption, gaming, and entering and exiting hotel rooms.
The consumption process of the water park
has been simplified due to RFID
Water park, as the name suggests, almost
all tourists wear swimsuits to play underwater or by the water's edge, which
raises a question: where do they put their wallets? How should I carry my room
card? A water park needs a way to provide more convenience and comprehensive
services for tourists. At present, only a few existing water parks worldwide
(such as Hyland Hills Water Park in Colorado) are equipped with RFID systems to
replace non intelligent access control systems. However, RFID technology is
gradually phasing out traditional key/barcode access control technology and
becoming the preferred technology for intelligent access control and
non-contact payment - which solves tourists' worries - without worrying about
the safe storage of wallets and room cards. RFID wristbands can serve as
travelers' carry on wallets and electronic room cards.
RFID wristbands solve wallet and room card
issues for tourists
The Great Wolf Lodge uses a built-in RFID
chip, each wristband has a unique ID identification code, and operates at a
frequency of 13.56MHz, following the ISO 15693 standard.
RFID wristbands have the following
functions:
·Guests can enter and exit the hotel room
with a smart wristband
·Unlock item storage cabinet
·Consumer goods such as purchased goods
The payment function of smart wristbands
has sufficient security guarantees, and all payment actions must be verified
and recognized by the wristband holder before they are valid. Every tourist has
their own UID after receiving their Smart Band RFID wristband. The RFID tag on
the wristband stores the holder's relevant information, which allows you to
open the hotel door and make purchases. The water park has installed RFID
readers in kiosks, vending machines, game areas, and other locations. The
readers send tourists' consumption information to the hotel's database for
calculating their final accounts.
