Introducing: A low-cost alternative to RFID

Our system and equipment can scan barcodes on wristbands as well as RFID and NFC chips

Our system and equipment can scan barcodes on wristbands as well as RFID and NFC chips

As well as RFID chips and mobile handsets, our systems are configured to interact with barcodes which enable many of the same features and benefits at a fraction of the cost – typically just 1p more per wristband – providing a great entry-level pathway into contactless technology for your event.

  • The barcode can be affixed to the wristband, laminate or any carrier via a small, ultra-resilient sticker
  • The same hardware used to read RFID chips can also scan barcodes for access control and on-site social media integration
  • Barcodes cannot be used to make open loop cashless payments but they can be used to load and redeem drinks and catering tokens, and we are developing a closed loop payment system that works with barcodes
