RFID Ensures Equipment Is on Hand for Poker Tournaments

When poker tournaments take place across the United Kingdom and worldwide, a large amount of equipment comes with each event, whether it's a matter of a few tables or thousands of items. That equipment can include chips, tables, chairs and the machines used to shuffle cards. Alpha Logistics Europe, a company that specializes in managing that equipment, has a complex task of ensuring that the proper equipment is on hand for each event and is then returned. The Kent-based company is now using RFID technology to accomplish this task. The system consists of UHF RFID tags affixed to items, as well as handheld RFID readers from Zebra Technologies and RAM's cloud-based software.
