Registration of scooters with RFID technology in Helia Trade
Nowadays, technology is fast becoming an integral part of even dynamic areas such as scooter rental. We present a project in which HELIA TRADE uses RFID technology to track and record its scooters, which customers can rent at the top of a hill and enjoy the ride down. This innovative approach allows the rental company to effectively monitor the traffic and movement of the scooters, increase control over the rented assets and optimize its service.
For the purpose of this project, an RFID set was chosen which includes:
- RRU-4500 RAIN RFID reader
- 2x WRA-3070 antennas
- Required cables, resources and software
For the scooters themselves, the Silverline II blade M730 RFID tags were selected. These labels are 60 x 25 mm and made of PET material.
RFID technology is implemented to allow accurate monitoring of the scooters movement in a given area. Two WRA-3070 antennas were placed on the hill taper to work with the RRU-4500 RFID reader. Each scooter is equipped with two tags, allowing reliable identification and recording of each scooter's movement as it passes the antennas.
This system ensures:
- Automatic registration of all scooters that pass the checkpoint.
- Minimising the loss of scooters by tracking their movements.
- Traffic optimization - the rental company can accurately assess how many scooters are currently moving in certain locations and better respond to demand.
Key benefits of implementing RFID technology:
- Accurate visibility of the number of scooters, making it easier to control rental equipment and increase its safety.
- Automated tracking that saves staff time and enables faster assessment of scooter movements.
- Efficient management and reduced costs - the system self-reports every scooter that passes, avoiding human error or time-consuming manual record-keeping.
The RFID scooter registration project at HELIA TRADE brings a new dimension to the scooter rental industry. Thanks to modern technology, the company has an accurate overview of the movement of its equipment, which not only increases safety but also gives customers the confidence that they are renting a scooter that is being efficiently taken care of.
