Fact 1
Both Barcode & RFID are automatic identification technologies. They both hold data you can access by using a reader. however barcode technology uses optical while RFID uses Radio Frequency technology.
Fact 2
One of the most serious security issues affecting event organisers today is improper identification of spectators or visitors, participants & support personnel while controlling their access at an event. Barcodes improve the accuracy of crowd ID at events as well as patient identification in a hospital situation.
Fact 3
Wizid barcode security wristbands replace manual registration with a simple scan of the band. You can completely automate attendee registration, instantly retrieving the correct record, every time. This fast, convenient technology reduces the risk of duplicate records, double entry & other human error resulting in better security staff productivity & a shorter waiting cycle for patrons.

Recently we received a brief to ensure patrons security wristbands be waterproof & able to remain immersed in chlorinated water for at least a 12 hour period. The material to be used for the wristbands could not be torn, would not stretch, should be lightweight, soft & smooth so there would be no irritation or snagging of skin or clothes when warn by waterpark guests.
Additionally, the wristbands must be easy to apply, be comfortable & adjust to any size wrist. The wristband should also contribute to the promotion of the waterparks brand & it’s fun image, but it didn’t stop there the wristband was also to contribute to the waterparks security processes, crowd identification & access control procedures. Internal systems at the park would enable patron’s with the wristbands fast access to any attraction at the waterpark by reducing customers wait in line time.
We developed our Digital wristbands which not only help solve & meet the waterparks expectations our initial test wristbands were immersed in chlorinated water for over 3 weeks without showing signs of deterioration, all wristbands were in full colour including barcodes which resisted exposure to sun screens, soaps & food & drink spills.
Digital wristbands also offer photo quality images & variable data options enabling these wristbands to mesh with access & crowd control systems to provide a highly visible & functional method enhancing your patrons visit.

Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID ) security wristbands are here!
These high security ID bands contain a silicone chip & and antenna that can transmit data to a wireless receiver, in the future they will revolutionise the security needs of the events industry.
Unlike barcodes which need to be scanned manually & read individually ( you actually have to see the barcode in order to read it), RFID wristbands & credentials do not require line of sight for reading.
Within the field of a wireless reading device, it is possible to automatically read hundreds of wristbands very quickly. Not only can Wizid RFID wristbands be read faster than barcodes, they also contain more information, so information may be recalled more efficiently.
To help prevent counterfeiting of wristbands, & increase public safety at concerts, festivals & special events RFID wristbands & RFID technology will eventually be utilised to upgrade security & improve overall management & control. More details soon… or contact us to learn more.
