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.

RFID or radio frequency identification is on the rise among hotel chains and other business types that employ this technology. It is unlike magnetic strip or computer chip cards which are slowly becoming obsolete. RFID locking systems have many advantages over their predecessors.

One of the primary advantages is that it offers greater security to hotel guests and others in business that need to make sure that their premises are safe and secure from illegal entry. This system uses radio frequency identification to lock and unlock doors or other mechanisms. The card is programmed to control the locking system when it is placed in proximity to it. There is no need to swipe or place the card within the locking system itself, it just has to be near it to read it.

The radio frequency that is encoded will match and the lock disengages upon successful presentation of the card key. This is refined keyless entry at its best. There is no physical contact with the lock which saves on wear and tear of the mechanism. Also, there are no issues with the card being unreadable as with magnetic and computer chip card readers.

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 industries are in the process of upgrading their lock systems to RFID technology. This is quickly becoming the norm among hotels and other types of business that require a higher level of security. It is also quickly gaining acceptance due to the positive impact it has on profits. This may very well be the answer to keyless entry.

Businesses are benefiting in a big way as they use this method to save money, time and maintenance costs. There is very little maintenance with keyless entry because the locks are not touched with human hands or by any standard keyed entry method. In this way, a company can save money, and the cost of replacing locks becomes obsolete.

As more locking systems become obsolete in favor of RFID technology, business and society will reap the benefits of a more secure world compared to the past. However, technology is always changing and developing bigger and better things. Who knows what the future of security will be, but for now, RFID is catching fire and providing more security than in the past. This technology makes our world a better place to live and work.
