Dog tags

In Dallas, Unleashed Indoor Dog Park is noted as being the first dog day-care in the world. One would expect a waiting line the length of a football field to exist at this rare facility as dogs come and go.

However, as a result of strides made by GAO RFID Inc., long lines and thus wait times pose no threat to the success of this unique park.

To keep track of clients and their pets, dogs are given a tag embedded with an RFID inlay to be worn on the animal's collar.

Each time the animal approaches a gate, equipped with an RFID reader, the RFID tag transmits an identification number to the reader. Once read, the ID is transmitted to the facility's system and a conformation of validity is made.

The ID is then transmitted to yet another software called Kennel Connection. Once there, information pertaining to the animal's health and disposition is verified and updated if required.

The ID's final destination is a financial management
provider, where it is paired with the appropriate credit card information and verified.

This entire process takes only seconds, and, once verified, a green light is displayed and the lock on the gate to the facility is released.

GAO RFID Inc. (www.GAORFID.com) is a leading provider of RFID Readers, RFID Tags and RFID software providing cost saving solutions to end users worldwide.
