During peak hours, swimming pools experience high visitor traffic. Can self-service hand card receiving and sending equipment support rapid batch card issuance and automatic identification of abnormal
Publish Time: 2025-12-22
water parks often face the pressure of thousands of people entering in a short period. Traditional manual card issuance windows easily lead to long queues, reducing customer experience and increasing operational labor costs. Self-service hand card receiving and sending equipment, integrating facial recognition, barcode scanning, IC card reading and writing, and locker management, is becoming a key tool for solving this problem. Its ability to achieve rapid batch card issuance and automatic identification of abnormal cards under high-concurrency scenarios directly determines the system's practical value.
1. High-speed multi-mode recognition, achieving "second-level" one card per person
Modern self-service handheld devices generally use high-performance embedded processors and optimized operating systems, supporting parallel verification of facial recognition, card swiping, and barcode scanning. At the swimming pool entrance, staff use handheld devices to scan users' faces, and the system completes liveness detection and identity verification within 0.5 seconds. Simultaneously, the device has a built-in high-speed IC card reader/writer module, which, in conjunction with a pre-loaded card pool, enables "card issuance upon recognition"—from identity verification to writing data such as locker information, deposit status, and usage time limit, the entire process takes no more than 2 seconds. For group customers, some devices also support a "batch pre-registration + on-site rapid activation" mode. After importing the list in advance, multiple people can instantly receive cards simply by scanning their faces or reservation codes, greatly improving access efficiency.
2. Intelligent Card Pool Management, Ensuring Continuous Batch Card Issuance
To cope with peak demand, handheld devices are typically equipped with a detachable, high-capacity card compartment that supports hot-swappable replacement. The card compartment's built-in sensors monitor the remaining card quantity in real time, automatically alerting the backend when the quantity falls below a threshold, prompting for card replenishment. More importantly, the device automatically pre-checks each blank card before issuance: reading the card ID, verifying chip functionality, and clearing residual data. If a damaged, duplicate, or unauthorized card is detected, the system immediately marks and skips it, ensuring that every card issued is valid and usable, preventing entry interruptions due to card malfunctions.
3. Automatic Abnormal Card Identification, Preventing Problems Before They Occur
"Abnormal cards" include various types: unreturned historical cards, reported lost cards, physically damaged cards, and data conflict cards. The handheld device, through real-time or near real-time synchronization with the cloud-based WMS, can complete multiple verifications instantly upon card reading:
If the card status is "unreturned," the system automatically prompts the user to complete the return process first; if the card has been reported lost, the device immediately locks and sounds an alarm; if reading fails or data verification fails, the device determines it to be physically/logically damaged and guides the user to replace it with a new card; for duplicate card swipes or mixed use across different sessions, the system automatically intercepts them based on timestamps and venue IDs. This "operate, judge, and warn simultaneously" mechanism intercepts problems at the entrance, preventing users from discovering the lockers are unusable after entering the venue, leading to complaints or congestion.
4. Offline Disaster Recovery and Data Backhaul for Business Continuity
Even in pool lobbies or underground changing areas with poor Wi-Fi signal, the device can still operate in offline mode: locally caching user information and card status, completing card issuance/return operations, and automatically encrypting and synchronizing to the server once the network is restored. This ensures uninterrupted service even during peak periods when network congestion occurs. Simultaneously, all transaction records are fully retained, supporting post-event auditing and dispute resolution.
In crowded and challenging environments like swimming pools, self-service hand card receiving and sending equipment is no longer simply a "manual replacement" tool, but a mobile service terminal integrating intelligent identification, edge computing, and cloud-edge collaboration. Through high-speed batch card issuance capabilities and a precise abnormal card identification mechanism, it effectively resolves entry bottlenecks during peak periods, improving user experience and operational resilience.
