    Exploring RFID for Parks & Recreation Services

    Maintaining a positive communal environment at local Parks & Recreation facilities is the top priority of the parks & recreation departments so it’s important to have whatever tools you can find to ensure that your program is not only high quality, but is also safe and efficient. Running a program at a Parks & Recreation facility is a huge responsibility; whether it is to ensure maximum efficiency amongst your staff, managing the efficiency of department equipment or keeping track of paperwork. GAO RFID’s experience in customizing the capabilities of RFID can be a great opportunity to take the difficulty out of your day through improving personnel and asset efficiency and guaranteeing security in all Parks & Recreation facilities.

    Applying Asset Tracking

    Parks & Recreation professionals often have lots of assets to keep track of daily; from greens maintenance equipment to department fleet trucks to the first aid kits, food, and drinks. It’s important that all these assets are monitored, tracking, and the information regarding its locations and conditions are clearly available at all times. There’s plenty of paperwork that needs to be filled out in any Parks & Recreation facility daily, but there’s also paperwork that needs to be easily and instantly accessible, when requested after an emergency or accident. Everything from participant attendance or contact information, to staff work schedules, or accident reports need to be efficiently stored and properly taken care of, so that they can be accessed, whenever necessary. With our experience in deploying RFID technology to track assets, a way to help Parks & Recreation departments may be developed, thereby helping you stay on track of your asset utilization. Upon its implementation, it will also make it easy to locate documentation quickly and efficiently, without wasting precious man hours—keeping the administration of the department highly efficient.

    Applying Access Control

    It’s important to have an efficient system, in any parks & recreation facility for keeping track of personnel and participants’ location. By using the fundamentals of RFID technology for access control, we may be able to provide a great way to ensure that Parks & Recreation Programs are happening in a facility with the highest-level possible of security. RFID Badges can be used to verify the identity of visitors and employees, provide access to restricted areas only to employees, and locate personnel anywhere on site. This adds up to maximum visibility and security, throughout the facility and while on park grounds. It’s important to have an efficient system for controlling access, in order to do everything from regulating access to specific equipment used in activities, for participants’ safety, to protecting equipment from loss and/or theft, to keeping unwanted visitors away from the premises. Every time a zone is access, the designed RFID system can be used to log the activity and reports can be easily created and viewed by security personnel in situations where detailed logs are required.
