The Benefits of Using Marathon UHF RFID Tags for Competitions

Published byEdith atMarch 19,2024

In the competition, athletes wear marathon UHF RFID tags, which can greatly improve timing efficiency.

RFID technology is fully utilized in sports competition

RFID technology is fully utilized in sports competitions to realize the intelligent collection and management of information during the competition. UHF RFID tags are not only used in marathons, but also various road races, ski races, and decathlon competitions. Participating athletes carry personal information RFID tags. By setting the starting point and ending point, the organizer, spectators, and referees can collect information through data collection points, and the efficiency of calculating time can be greatly improved.

How RFID Timing System Works In Sports Activities?

Working principle: First, use UHF readers to write UHF tags with athlete information, and distribute RFID tags to corresponding unique athletes. Then, use UHF RFID fixed reader to connect the feeder, etc., and install it at the starting line, checkpoint and end point. When the athlete passes the reading and writing device, it will read the ID of the RFID tag carried by the athlete, record the time at that time, the software system will process and display the information, upload the data to the calculation time system of the game, and the system will calculate the final result of the game.

So what UHF RFID tags that are widely used in sports competitions? How do they work? Let’s find them out below right now!
