How can we continue to enforce the corona measures on beautiful summer days? That is the big question that many municipalities are now facing. During a summer in our own country, many people will flock to the Dutch coast. The seaside resort of Ostend is therefore already talking about a beach pass that gives access to the beach.

Beach access pass in practice

Many people are already used to dealing with access passes. Of course, think of the well-known OV chip card, a pass that gives you access to the gym or a pass for a business premises. The same method is therefore easily applicable to nature reserves such as beaches, parks and forests. Do you have a large storefront? At many companies it is now necessary to take a shopping basket with you so that staff can see how many people are present. An access pass or key fob can also work very efficiently in these situations.

Smart use of RFID technology

Of course, a plastic card alone is not enough. In most cases, RFID technology is used. RFID uses radio waves to read and store information. You simply hold an RFID card in front of a card reader and it ‘checks in’, or a door opens. Thanks to RFID technology you can also keep track of who is (has been) inside. This way, the crowds on the beaches can be better maintained. RFID can also be integrated on various objects, such as cards and keyfobs.
