Up-to-date: iOS and Android support for the reader is planned for Q4 2023, which will further increase the versatility and usability of the product.
Applications
Thanks to the multiple activation/reading options, the IGNITE-SMART READER can be used in a variety of applications. For example, it is possible to activate vehicles such as e-scooters, e-quads or construction vehicles via a (chip) card, so that the reader serves as a mechanical key. Another option suited well for gokarts, is inputting performance (hp) limitations based on the driver class, for example children versus adults. Integrating this RFID technology in any type of fleet management ensures improved access control and manageability of vehicle usage.
