500 Employees Benefit from UHF-Based Parking Access

Process Requirements

In addition to the four buildings, the hospital grounds also include extensive parking areas for employees, service providers, and visitors. In the past, there has been a delay in the arrival of doctors for surgery. For this reason, the access road and the search for parking spaces were optimized.

Objective

• Issue of parking permits
• Comfortable access without driver interaction
• Automatic arrival and worktime recording

Solution

Roughly 500 of the approximate 3,000 employees are entitled to use special parking spaces.

In order to implement individual access authorizations, barriers were installed at a total of four entrances and exits and UHF RFID reading technology was integrated. The readers are connected to the central server via network cable to document arrivals in real-time and to start worktime recording.

Two long-range UHF readers and eight antennas now cover the four entrances and exits and record the windshield labels encoded with an access authorization.

To ensure that all labels are 100% functional, an internal process for data verification was established. This ensures that every issued tag works perfectly.
