Applications

The versatility of RFID tags in the sports sector is extensive. For example, they are embedded in race bibs to record race timings down to a fraction of a second, providing accurate tracking of each participant’s progress at different checkpoints. Additionally, RFID tags enable seamless event management by facilitating automated access control to restricted areas, improving crowd management, and simplifying the allocation of resources. This technology is highly adaptable, with broad use across various sports, including running events, triathlons, cycling races, and professional leagues, creating streamlined systems that enhance both participant experience and logistical efficiency.
