Sports Chip Timer - RFID technology for timekeeping in the sports industry

The sports world is constantly looking for ways to improve timekeeping and accurately record athletes' performances. One revolutionary technology that has brought efficiency to the world of sporting events is the sports chip timekeeper.

How does it work?

This advanced technology uses RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) to identify and track athletes during races or other sporting events. Athletes are equipped with RFID tags, which can be passive or active. Readers placed on the track communicate with these tags and, thanks to RFID technology, allow actual times to be recorded.

Use in various sports

Sports chip timing finds application in a wide range of sports. From athletics to cycling to car racing, this technology provides an important tool for event organisers and fans who want to track every moment of a race.

Benefits for organisers and athletes

For event organisers, it means easier and more efficient results management. For athletes, it means a fairer assessment of their performance and the ability to analyse their times and improve.
