Valet Parkers Get Home Faster Thanks To the New RFID Cards
Issued By Red Beetle Inc. On Digital Identification’s
EDIsecure(R) XID Printer
Piedmont, SC, September 3, 2009 – Digital Identification Solutions LLC,
USA, announces that Roncari Express Parking, the largest offsite airport
valet on the east coast, has begun providing its patrons with the new
‘electronic GOPASS’ membership card. The new membership card will
eliminate waiting for their customers while they are dropping off or
picking up their vehicle.
A new membership card system has been installed at the Bradley
International Airport (BDL), the Gateway to New England, as part of Roncari
Express Valet Parking’s operating agreement. This system is based on the
new eGOPASS RFID membership card and the IP-AXS system provided by Red
Beetle which includes the EDIsecure(R) XID 580ie Printer. The system is
tied together on the back end with ParkWares’ parking management software
suite which manages all aspects of the customer profiles, point of sale,
lot management and transaction processing. When an eGOPASS client enters
the valet parking lot, they simply ‘tap’ their membership card at the kiosk
to start the process. They are then prompted with their profile
information on a touch screen display that enables them to quickly select
the date and time of their return and any additions vehicle services they
would like done to their car. This entire drop-off (check-in) process can
be completed in seconds and the patron is off to their flight.
‘Roncari Express Parking is excited about the opportunity to provide this
advanced technology and to better service to all our valued clients,’
commented Vice President and general manager Paul Murdock. ‘Our clients
wanted a system that eliminated delays and stress associated with their
departure and arrival, and our new system does just that. Roncari Express
Parking is looking forward to working with the Red Beetle and Digital
Identification Solutions teams to deliver the innovative, secure and
time-saving concepts our customers demand and are dedicated to continuing
our rapid expansion driving innovation every step of the way.’
For the client’s convenience upon return from their flight, they simply
‘tap’ the card on a Roncari Courtesy Station reader located in the arrivals
area at the airport, which connects directly over the internet to the
ParkWares application at Roncari Express. Within a second, the customer
receives a confirmation screen instructing them to proceed to the shuttle
bus area. Simultaneously a shuttle bus is immediately dispatched to pick
up the client at that location, and the client’s vehicle is pulled from the
lot, their credit card is charged and the vehicle with receipt is ready and
waiting when the client arrives. No wait; no worry.
The eGOPASS is printed on RFID cards via the EDIsecure(R) XID 580ie
Printer. Because of the technology based around RFID cards, using a
printing process like retransfer printing is preferred. Retransfer printing
in the XID is very simple; the card follows a straight path transferring
the color from the ribbon onto a separate film, known as the retransfer
film, onto the card. During this process, the print head never directly
touches the card therefore rarely ever damaging the card. The EDIsecure(R)
XID 580ie Printer also has enhanced image processing giving the cards a
superior image quality over cards. In Red Beetle’s testing to find the
right printer for this project they discovered that the EDIsecure(R) XID
580ie provided the perfect combination of speed, superior images, and
quality of ease of operations.
‘We cannot say how pleased we are with the system over the past 5 months of
operation. The integration of the various components came together
quickly, allowing us to train our staff on the new system during our beta
transition phase,’ says Murdock. ‘The reliability and automation aspects
have allowed us to reallocate staff to other areas in our vehicle services
area. Most importantly, customer satisfaction and feedback has yielded an
increase in new customer signups, which is growing market share despite
current travel statistics.’
