Each month, a 280-bed hospital holds 100 training sessions for its employees. The facility is using a mobile solution with an Android-based app loaded onto a tablet or smartphone fitted with a dongle reader to collect and manage the large volume of attendance records. When an employee arrives onsite for a training session, that individual taps his or her ID badge next to the dongle reader connected to a tablet device that is in the possession of onsite personnel. The reader captures the badge’s ID number and stores it along with the session information. Learn how the system works with the staff’s existing RFID badges and, due to its close read range—1 or 2 inches, at most—eliminates stray reads of badges that are in the vicinity but not actually entering a session room.
