How Businesses Benefit From RFID Key Cards

By Brenda Warner


The latest in locking technology is on the market and quickly becoming the standard among the industry. Hotel chains especially have benefited from this new technology and reaping the rewards of it. That technology is the use of RFID key cards, a new type of locking system for businesses that provides a higher level of security.

Radio Frequency Identification provides a new level of security in the professional world. It is unlike anything else on the market such as magnetic strip and computer chip technology which is on the way out due to its inefficiency and high maintenance. There are benefits to this most recent technology and hotels are finding that it is cost effective as well.

They offer more security at a fraction of the cost. Hotels that are transitioning to this modern wonder are experiencing cost savings that would have been unknown to them had this not been developed. The system uses radio frequencies to communicate with the locking device and the card key only has to be in proximity to it, not touching it. There is no swipe or insertion of any card in order to operate the lock.

If the frequency matches the card, the door will unlock, if it does not match, the door remains secure. In this way with keyless entry such as this, the card never has to be swiped or read by coming into physical contact with the lock which saves on having to replace cards due to it being unreadable such as with the magnetic strip or computer chip.

Those who enjoy staying at hotels on their vacations or business can feel certain that their room is secure when they leave. It gives a certain confidence in the hotel chain that provides this service, and the keyless entry often creates repeat business as the customers return again and again. The uniqueness of the keyless entry is a wonder to hotel guests who seem to like using the latest technology.

Many businesses and hotels are in the process of updating their locking systems to RFID technology. This method is quickly becoming a standard among the industry. Many are now employing this technology in the workplace, in factories, warehouses, and government buildings as well as hotels. It is the best system of keyless entry on the market today.

Not only does this device save money, but it will also save costs in repair and maintenance. Since the locks are not touched by human hands or exposed to dust or dirt that can get inside the mechanism and ruin it, the cost of replacing locks or keys is minimal. This also saves time as a business can use their maintenance department for other more pertinent issues within the business.

Technology is always progressing toward better and more refined ways of doing things. As society and business quickly adapt to newer technologies, there is always something better that comes along to replace the standard methods. As a business grows and develops over time, RFID technology is paving the way for more security on a budget, and this spells profits for businesses everywhere.
