Brompton Bike Hire taps into RFID technology

CoreRFID is supplying Brompton Bike Hire with RFID readers and tags to track over 2,300 bicycles for rent by the public and staff at St Bart’s Hospital and NHS London.

The project includes the Wheels for Heroes scheme which offers NHS employees free bicycle rental as an alternative to public transport during the coronavirus crisis.

CoreRFID’s Technical Sales Director Richard Harrison says: “RFID is a tried and tested technology which raises the accuracy and effectiveness of key processes while reducing running costs.”

“It’s highly flexible and in recent months we’ve adapted RFID for multiple uses by the NHS such as new hospital fitouts and supplies of oxygen cylinders as well as applications in logistics, manufacturing and safety inspections.”
