RFID Journal – Putting Drinks on the Cuff
“To use the AgeBand system, a customer presents a driver’s license or some other official identification card (such as military) at the entrance of an event or business. The system, which comes with a bar code scanner and magnetic stripe reader, uses ID-CHECK to analyze the encoded data in mag stripes and two-dimensional bar codes on government-issued IDs from approximately 60 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada to determine if the content and format is valid. If the ID is valid and the customer is found to be old enough to enter, the AgeBand system prints the customer’s name, the words “Age ID Verified 21″ and other information from the ID onto a plastic wristband that can’t be removed without being damaged or destroyed.”
