Meet RFID at the same time when you go to meet Santa

Filed in archive Implementation on December 12, 2007

Santa Claus and RFID? Now you must be wondering what is the connection between the two? With Christmas fast approaching I was thinking about writing a post on one of the biggest festivals in the world and I never thought I would be able to talk about RFID too at the same time and that too well before the 25th.

You all must be aware of the fact that Santa resides at Arctic Cycle near Rovaniemi in Finland and a number of people reach Santa's Office to convey him their wishes and in order to ensure that Christmas brings good luck to them and turns out to be a day for them to remember for the rest of their lives all visitors are given their photograph as a souvenir which is captured by the elves but with so many people reaching the venue it creates some sort of pandemonium with regards to distribution of souvenir.




Now in order to smoothen this process every visitor is handed a magic ticket at the POS and when it is put on the counter at the exit the photographs and video of the visitors flash automatically on the monitor and this is not definitely not some sort of magic but power of technology where an RFID application developed by MICROPLEX Printware is being put to use. UHF smart labels have been implemented since it met the budget and reading range requirements. Certainly this has made life pretty simpler for all at the office and for the visitors too and don't worry as I will surely wish you all Merry Christmas very soon again!!
