Automated Student Attendance & Fire Evacuation
Using unifi.id passive UHF RFID to seamlessly monitor individual movements in real-time, create automated location-based alerts, report and analyse data and account for individuals in an emergency.
Challenges
Our client was experiencing real difficulties in accurately measuring student attendance.
Students were constantly forgetting to sign into lectures or unable to sign in via an online digital service.
This resulted in difficulties for students and the university to capture and demonstrate minimum attendance levels for academic progress and compliance with Tier 4 visa rules.
They also wanted to improve safety measures for students and staff members during fire drills and evacuations.
The solution had to be reliable, easy to install and use, as well as unobtrusive to the occupant’s daily lives.
The Unifi.id Solution
Battery-free, long-range, RFID technology built into ID cards or lanyards, that allow for accurate detection up to 8m.
RFID sensors installed at each building’s key entry and exit points including the doorways of stairwells on all floors.
Enable safer evacuations of students and visitors in emergency situations
Enables compliance with UK visa and immigration rules.
