What things should be considered before purchasing RFID intelligent key cabinet?

RFID intelligent key cabinet is a key storage device that uses radio frequency identification technology (RFID) to achieve intelligent management of enterprise keys. RFID intelligent key cabinets associate each key with a unique identification code by implanting an RFID chip on the key. Users can use devices with RFID readers to open and close the key cabinet by scanning the RFID tag. The system will record each access record of the key to achieve key tracking management.  

In view of the particularity of RFID intelligent key cabinets, Baiwei Company usually recommends customers to tell us your RFID card type before purchasing. According to the RFID card type, we judge which RFID reader is suitable for you, and if necessary, you can also send us a sample of the RFID card for us to test. In past successful custom projects, we have used RFID readers that allow users to read almost any kinds of tags or labels. After solving the RFID reader problem, we also need to confirm the following information with the customer in order to provide the customer with the most suitable RFID Intelligent key cabinet.
