RFID Lockers at Splash La Mirada Aquatics Center Improves Customer Experience

Splash! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center in California has implemented RFID-enabled lockers to simplify the customer experience by enabling access through the guests’ RFID (radio frequency identification) wristbands. ...

... "The process at Splash! begins as guests receive a disposable Smart Band wristband from the service desk. Developed by Precision Dynamics Corporation (PDC) of San Fernando, CA, Smart Band is a non-transferable wristband with a securely sealed RFID microchip, which is programmed with a unique 16-character code. When scanned by a RFID reader at locker access stations, a low-power radio wave activates the chip to securely collect and transfer data. The microchip assigns the waterpark guest a locker and triggers the locker to open—all with the wave of a wristband. The Smarte Locke lockers are developed by Smarte Carte of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Guests at the aquatics center have remarked on the combination of convenience and security that the RFID system provides. " ...

RFID Wristband: Hotel Guest Convenience

Precision Dynamics Corporation implements Smart Band® RFID(radio frequency identification) wristbands and PDC Smart Kiosk RFID Cashless Point-of-Sale (POS) System at the new Great Wolf Lodge at Paramount's Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. ...

... "The 401-suite northwoods-themed family resort with an indoor waterpark, implemented PDC's RFID Wristband System to provide guests with enhanced services including hotel room keyless entry, cashless payment options, automated arcade token dispensers, and more. At registration, guests are given a Smart Band, which is embedded with a 13.56MHz RFID inlay. The automated wristbands allow for keyless entry into hotel rooms for all family members, eliminating the need to carry hotel room keys. MICROS' POS workstations enable guests to make cashless payments with the RFID wristbands throughout the resort. Also, the RFID wristbands eliminate the chances of money getting wet or lost while at the water park. Guests are given the choice of using the RFID wristbands to make charges directly to their rooms or to set up a pre-funded account for purchases. The pre-funded account is a great way to allow children to purchase products and services without giving them full charging privileges. Both types of accounts can be increased or funded by using Smart Kiosks throughout the resort or at the registration desk. All information on the wristband is encrypted providing maximum security for guests. " ...
