Contactless operations and precise identification of charging sessions, all thanks to RFID
Prism Solar can be placed and used in a variety of contexts and is suitable for multiple case scenarios. In a private location, it can be placed in the garage and preserved from third-party use, a situation in which only the garage owner will be able to charge the car using the column. Effectively in this case RFID technology would not be crucial. However, why limit it to the private situation where the individual owner charges and uses Prism?
E-mobility is an area that is set to expand, and the supply of charging points is already beginning to be a competitive advantage in the HoReCa sector, not to mention that companies will increasingly be able to consider installing charging stations in parking lots, for use by their employees. RFID technology makes this possible in a practical and intelligent way.
With this article we are going to answer the following questions:
What is RFID used for?
RFID: do you really have no idea what it could be, let alone know a practical example of where you may have already used it? You may be surprised to learn that Radio Frequency IDentification technology is what you use every time you pay with your credit card. In fact, RFID makes contactless transactions such as POS payments possible. All Prisms in the Solar range are designed to act as RFID readers and are equipped, because included in the purchase, with a pair of dongles that allow charging when the user has disabled auto-start, an action strongly recommended when Prism is placed in locations that expose it to third-party use.
If the usage is not limited to two people but there are more users who are going to recharge the car, it is possible to purchase the Set of 10 RFID Cards for authentication separately and activate the HoReCa Service.
When can it be used and with what pluses?
There are two scenarios where RFID is very useful: in those environments where charging is within reach of users other than the owner, who rightly does not want other people to take advantage of it, and in HoReCa or business settings where offering one or more charging points to a large group is desired. The synergy of management with the my silla cloud app and HoReCa service activation is critical to keep track of charging sessions corresponding to an individual user, especially in hospitality. A combination of elements that allow the system administrator to set the amount in €/kWh to be charged to users authorized to recharge.
Now you know how much RFID technology can come your way and make a difference within your business as well, allowing you a competitive advantage in more ways than one.
