RFID Opens the Door for Residents at Multiple Sclerosis Housing Facility

Wheelchair-bound residents at Australian non-profit home-care facility Albany Creek Apartments are employing radio frequency identification technology to access rooms and enclosed areas, hands-free. The system, provided by N.A.S.A. Electronic Security Systems and ISCS Brisbane, was taken live in July of this year, using Nedap Identification Systems' uPASS fixed UHF RFID readers and software built into an ICT WX Protege controller. Albany Creek Apartments is a joint venture between two organizations: MS Queensland, a facility dedicated to assisting those with multiple sclerosis, and Youngcare, which helps find housing solutions for young people with high needs.
