The Organization of the international logistics and the Manuteción of Barcelona - SIL2007 - opted for show visitors the technology that will revolutionize the logistic processes. This is the largest undertaken so far with RFID access control.

For the first time in the history of the international logistics barcode gave way to the RFID technology in the hands of MD identification solutions to control access to the site in its 9th Edition.

It was the sixth consecutive year that MD managed control of access to the SIL. The difference with other years was that accreditation had attached a label of RFID manufactured by MD in substitution to the bar code system used to date. This system provided valuable information to give the Organizing Committee a good service to the visitor.

MD and the Organization of the SIL demonstrated with this draft that RFID is a reality

The international logistics had 50,000 visitors, as every year the event reference for the logistics industry and the maintenance. The draft of access control to the living room, run by MD covered all the needs of the Organizing Committee: badges for visitors, all the access control both the Hall and made different days, control of accreditations for press with information to give the best serviceas well as knowing in real time the influx of visitors, etc.
At each point of accreditation were installed printers to personalize at the time the accreditations, a total of 11 teams prepared for RFID and software, control of the accredited, specific and created also by MD for this application.

HF tags used for the project, produced by MD, contained data from the accredited in text and barcode information recorded on the chip at the time of printing the accreditation.

Points of access to the lounge settled arches of reading which, with their antennae, read the credentials identifying and validating to the accredited which entered the living room, without having to take it in a visible place. All this through a luminous panel who welcomed every visitor, exhibitor, press, etc. Avoiding crowds to the visitor.
